Daily Lesson Plans for Apologia Biology (3rd Edition)
This schedule of daily lesson plans is designed to be used alongside Apologia's Exploring Creation with Biology, Third Edition curriculum (sold separately). Arranged by lesson, each day's work is laid out for the student with page numbers, problems, study guide question numbers, as well as details regarding when to begin studying, when to take tests, and when to complete experiments noted. Printed-paper; stapled in corner. ~Amber
These daily instructions were written to aid my own children as we used the Apologia courses. During our first year, we weren't sure how much to read daily to complete the book by year's end. You can't simply divide the number of pages by school days because of the experiments, study guides, tests, etc. We also had too many days of labs with no supplies on hand. These lesson plans will direct your student as to exactly what needs to be done each day and will provide reminders of needed lab supplies in advance. Using these guides, it takes 105-170 days to complete a text, depending upon the level and course.
Apologia Science courses are written from a Biblical worldview with the homeschool in mind. At the elementary level, courses follow a Charlotte Mason-inspired methodology, with lessons organized around narration, notebooking exercises and hands-on activities or projects. Children at different ages can use these together, learning at their own level. Each course is designed to be teacher-student interactive, so teacher involvement is fairly high at this level. At the junior high and high school levels, science courses are more traditional in nature, with the textbook written to the student. Teacher involvement time at this level is much less than at the elementary level. Textbooks contain student reading, lab instructions, "On Your Own" questions and Study Guide questions. A Solutions Manual provides the answers to these and the test questions. Lab kits are available separately for both the elementary and upper-level science courses which include most of the harder to find items you will need.
If you're looking to shave some time off of your lesson planning, consider these ready-made lessons plans. Written by Lynn Ericson, a homeschooling mother, they were intended to aid her own children in using the courses after numerous days of not having necessary supplies, being unavailable to direct reading at the needed moment, etc. She breaks down the modules of the Apologia courses and provides instructions on what to do each day to finish the modules in an educational and time-efficient manner. Takes the guesswork out of scheduling! ~ Rachel S.
