Welcome!

Are you looking for...

  • A self-paced online course your teen can do independently?

  • An affordable and hands-on high school Biology curriculum?

  • A course that prepares your child for future college courses?

  • Access to instructors when questions arise?

Independent Learning

Daily schedules provide an ideal format for your child to progress at his or her own pace. Each daily lesson includes a combination of video lectures, lab instructions, worksheets, and assessments. The entire course (145 days of material) can be completed with or without parent involvement.

Affordable Labs

Who says Biology needs to cost a fortune? My hands-on lab activities include clear student instructions and application questions to demonstrate student comprehension. These labs provide necessary skills while using household materials and affordable scientific equipment. Each lab includes a video demonstration, as well, to be used as preparation or for students who don't wish to complete the labs independently.

Honors Options Included

Additional assignments for students wanting an "honors" designation are included. These pages provide a greater depth of knowledge, additional content, critical thinking questions, and calculations.

Lifetime Access for the whole family!

This course includes lifetime access to the online course and homeschooling families may use it for siblings in future years at no additional cost. Each sibling will need a separate email address and you may wish to purchase a new workbook for each child. *Terms apply to a family within one household.

About the instructor

High School Science Teacher

Anne Morgan

I'm a wife, mother, and educator. I have taught high school science in various settings- public school, individual tutoring, and homeschool co-ops- and loved (almost) every minute of it. I have a B.S. from Grove City College and an M.S. from Clemson University in Biology Education.  I have teaching certifications in Biology, Chemistry, General Science and Environmental Science. Over the past 20 years, I've not only designed courses for my own students, but for teachers and students world-wide. I've spent thousands of hours developing this online curriculum for your student. I hope it provides you with an easy-to-use format that is both rigorous and interesting for your family.

FAQ

  • What grade is this curriculum for?

    This Biology curriculum works best for students in grades 9 & 10. Of course, if you feel that it is appropriate for your child to do, it can be adjusted for younger or older students. Although the worksheets for each unit can not be edited, the printed tests can be downloaded in Word format so the content and difficulty can be adjusted for your student, if you desire.

  • How will my child's work be graded?

    Online unit quizzes are automatically graded and can be taken more than once. Answer keys for notes, worksheets, labs, and tests are provided on a password-protected website. Parents can check these or, if you'd like, you can give the password to your child so they can check their own work.

  • How is evolution addressed in this course?

    At a high school level, I believe it is important for students to be exposed to this topic. This course contains instruction on genetic changes within populations (microevolution) but does not discuss origins of various species or progression from one type of organism to another (macroevolution). I have found that this content fits with many worldviews, including those that believe in a Creator God.

  • What if I need help or have questions?

    I encourage all families to use the Suburban Science Facebook Community during the course to discuss questions and share suggestions. Information about joining this group is included upon purchase of the course. I am also personally available to address any questions or issues that arise during your year of Biology. Simply email me at [email protected] and I will get back to you within a few hours. I am committed to making sure this curriculum works for your child and will do whatever I can to help.

Ready for all this great content?

Rest easy this year knowing your child has a user-friendly course that fills their high school requirements!
