Friendly Biology Video Course - Family License
Dr. Joey Hajda teaches each subject in the digital Video Family License course (unlimited access). Lesson lengths and teaching presentation vary, depending on the course, topics and activities. In Chemistry and Physical Science, an inset video shows him teaching and he annotates/draws on a slide presentation. In Biology, you'll see the similar slide approach along with videos (including dissection), but just hear the instruction. One-year Co-op licenses are available from the publisher.
Live-action videotaped lessons are now available taught by text author, Dr. Joey Hajda. These videos are licensed for viewing by one family for an unlimited period of time. You may watch with your child now and then access later for upcoming family members. The videos are hosted on our own private website. Once purchased, you will be provided with a login and password for access.
Designed to help students succeed in science, these user-friendly courses teach upper level science using clearly explained text with helpful illustrations, workbook activities and home friendly labs. Parents provide oversight and direction as needed, but most learning is student directed and independent. Whether utilized as a stand-alone course or to lay a foundation for a more rigorous science course in the high school years, Friendly Science will enable your students to confidently conquer higher level sciences. ~Deanne
Facing the high school sciences with an apprehensive learner or overwhelmed home-teacher? Check out this new Biology course from the authors of Friendly Chemistry!
With a goal of teaching high school students the complexity of living things in a gentle, non-intimidating manner, this course goes above and beyond expectations. Presenting a traditional scope of study, sans evolution and natural selection, this text contains 28 lessons, vibrant illustrations, and lab activities for a complete, year-long course. Topically, students will study the characteristics of living things; basic chemistry as it pertains to living things; the roles of carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids in living systems; importance of pH in living systems; cytology; mitosis and meiosis; chromosome duplication and protein synthesis; reproduction (asexual and sexual); genetics; taxonomy, including a survey of each kingdom with an emphasis on various classes and orders; an overview of human anatomy and physiology; and the foundations of ecology.
The Student Textbook is available in a Christian Worldview version and a Secular version. Worth mentioning, content is marginally different (scripture references in the Christian Worldview version). Co-ops or classroom students could use the books concurrently with success. Lessons are expected to take one week to complete, with readings from 10-25 pages, so some lessons may need additional time to complete. Textbook readings are accompanied by lab activities. Labs are designed to be homeschool friendly and use household or easily found items. A sampling of lab experiences includes: osmosis with eggs and vegetables, creating a cell model, determining pH, and making butter and yogurt. You will need internet access for the Taxonomy activity. The Textbook includes space for documenting the lab activities although students may wish to make a science notebook. The author is in the process of developing video dissection labs; contact us for availability. No microscope is required for this course.
The Student Workbook is a vital component to this course and works with either version: Secular or Christian Worldview. The 2 worksheets per lesson contain a mix of fill in the blank questions, matching exercises and puzzles. Not reproducible, each child will need their own copy.
A Lesson Tests and Answer Keys book is also available. This contains the lesson tests, test answers and the answer key for the student workbook. Lesson tests contain multiple choice questions and photocopying within one family is permissible per the author.
The Complete Set includes the softcover Textbook, Student Workbook, and unlimited access to the digital Family License Video course.
This course would make an excellent introduction to the author's Friendly Anatomy or to ease struggling students into the high school level sciences to build confidence while learning. All books are soft cover. ~ Deanne
