Experiences in Biologyis a biology lab manual designed to pair with any high school Biology curriculum. With a focus on laboratory skill development, it contains a varied selection of classic experiments built with the homeschool in mind, using easily sourced materials. A microscope is required, along with dissection materials, but other experiments take place in the kitchen or yard.

Completing a separate lab notebook will fulfill the requirements for a high school biology lab course. Instructions for lab notebook and record keeping are included.
Completion of this text will help the student understand some of the underlying themes in biological research, such as the necessity of naming and classifying the biological world, and the relationship between form and function.
Topics within the book are: Zoology, Human Anatomy and Physiology, Cellular Biology, Botany, and Ecology.
Contains:
- A list of objectives for a high school biology course
- Instructions in record keeping, making drawings, and the use of the microscope
