5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful book, August 15, 2005

By	Geek Mom "scimom" (Boxborough, MA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Essential Biology with Physiology (Paperback)

I used this book to homeschool my 13 year old daughter, who went on to obtain a 750 on the SAT II Biology. I also taught a class to homeschoolers using THE WAY LIFE WORKS (much cheaper) as the main text, but using many of the CD-ROM activites from ESSENTIAL BIOLOGY as class material. I especially liked the MendAliens for genetics problems! There are many useful activites, quizzes, and chapter tests, wonderful graphics. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to understand "essential" biology.
