Description
Recently updated with expanded content, the 2nd edition simply improves everything we've loved about the Anatomy and Physiology of Cells! Additional content includes an expanded look at the Cytoskeleton and Motor Proteins, more comprehension self-check questions, and some additional workbook activities. Book is divided into the Student Section and the Teacher Section. A dedicated You-Tube® playlist is available. While they are helpful, it is possible to use the curriculum without internet access. 210 pgs. Also available separately is the student section compiled into a single Student Text for those using for multiple students.

  • The concepts covered in this curriculum are considered "high school level." However, they are presented in a manner that makes them accessible to younger students. The activities that go along with the text are a key part of making these concepts understandable to younger ages. Yes, it is worth it to gather the materials for the crafts and the labs!
  • If you are teaching grades 8-10, check out module 1 of my Mapping the Body with Art ecourse. It's not identical to this Cells book, and goes into more detail about cellular respiration, does a quick review of prokaryotes and has lessons on egg, sperm and zygote.
  • Category Description for Ellen Mchenry's Basement Workshop

    Author Ellen McHenry is known for her straightforward approach to a variety of science topics. This curriculum is full of age-appropriate explanations, hands-on activities, and the familiar Ellen McHenry fingerprint characters and cartoons. The author discusses the difference between observable facts and inference, focusing on the facts. Courses are well-written, allowing children to understand more complex topics easily. Student activities vary and may include pencil-and-paperwork (like word puzzles or quizzes), internet links or a hands-on project. Illustrations are a mix of black and white, and color.

    One book is required for the course, and includes the reproducible Student Text with activities , and a Teacher Section. Additional Student Books are available for most courses. This is a great option for parents/teachers with multiple students-like in a co-op or classroom. Activity pages in the core book are reproducible for families or single classroom use. The author has set up a YouTube® channel with a myriad of short videos to accompany the courses. Worth mentioning, the courses are completely doable without this bonus internet content. An exceptional science option for upper elementary and middle school ages to learn topics with more depth compared to many other science programs.
