Focus On Middle School Biology Student Text covers basic biology concepts such as cells, photosynthesis, tropisms, protozoa, giving kids a solid foundation. Middle School Biology doesn’t just teach kids about plants and animals, but takes college level concepts and makes them available for younger students. Without compromising the integrity of the science, Middle School introduces kids to real biology terms and helps kids see how biological organisms are put together and organized. And it’s easy to teach! Anyone can do it.
Students learn about
- •prokaryotic, eukaryotic cells
- •organelles

Each chapter also comes with an accompanying laboratory experiment. These are real experiments and not just recipes or demonstrations. With the Middle School experiments, Dr. Keller walks students through the scientific method encouraging kids to question, inquire, examine, and think critically. Doing real science experiments can make the difference between learning science and loving it!
The Teacher’s Manual gives additional information related to the student text and additional direction for the laboratory experiments.
