In this high school biology document, you will find an outline of six options for the study of the human body. You will choose a single topic that is either the most interesting to your student or has the highest value in your estimation, or you may make the decision based on which book you can acquire or that you already own. Please note that this document does not include daily lesson plans as you have found in my other Science Study Guides.
Optional topics include:
- Health & Human Anatomy
- Cells
- Genetics
- Neuroscience
- Medical Ethics
- Nutrition
You will receive:
- A variety of spine text options
- Projects and/or activities based on the text
- Recommended resources
- Links to current events
- List of relevant biographies for free reading
You will also find information regarding:
- The importance of Special Studies at this level
- Meeting graduation requirements
- Writing exam questions
Schedule:
Biology should be taken one day per week, 40-45 minutes per lesson throughout high school.
Prerequisite:
I recommend that EVERY student begin their living biology education with the book Men, Microscopes, and Living Things by Katherine B. Shippen. The study guide to accompany it is slotted as a Form 3-4 guide, but the information provided in the book and guide is valuable even for adults. It is the only survey of biology available in a living book format, and Katherine Shippen has done a truly fantastic job. After that, I suggest your student spend the rest of high school studying three to four biology subjects deeply.
