Learning Biology

This past school year, Brandon took biology. We have chosen Apologia for the majority of our science classes and biology was no exception. It's a good fit for us.

It worked out great that there was a mom in our co-op who also uses Apologia and was interested in teaching it to our group! We did all the book work and tests at home and the kids did all the lab work at co-op. What a great experience!

They did lots of microscope work and also, Brandon's favorite:

 dissections!

 I was just happy I didn't have to do it here at home ;)

At the end of the year, his teacher also scheduled a field trip to Dawes Arboretum. It was fantastic! They had a lecture on bird identification then a lesson on how to use binoculars and a walk around to put their new information to use.

 

 Even the tag-alongs had fun :)

This class was definitely a hit! We're so thankful for such a wonderful group that we get to have these experiences with!
