DIVE into college-prep science! Once you add a text, DIVE Biology is a complete curriculum taught from a Christian worldview. This CD contains 32 weeks of instruction, plus a yearly syllabus, assigned reading and definitions, digital whiteboard lectures, notes, problems, review questions, quarterly exams, and an interactive video lab for each week.

This course may be used with any high school biology textbook; Abeka, BJU Press Biology Text, 3rd Edition or Apologia are recommended; if you plan to use Apologia it is necessary to complete Exploring Creation with Biology and The Human Body: Advanced Biology in order to prepare for the corresponding CLEP exam.

With biology involving memorization of many names and parts, about half of the lessons do not have a lecture so students have ample time to commit biological vocabulary to memory. The Video Labs include many detailed photographs and videos of microscopic organisms, as well as descriptive earthworm, crayfish, fish, frog and pig dissections.

Solutions to all review questions, lab activities, and quarterly exams are included. 10th Grade.

I had high expectations for this, hoping to use it as a supplement for the Abeka material. Soon after purchasing, I found it can only be used alone, with the Abeka and internet reading to supplement. Very difficult to use as I have to make my own tests and vocab lists. The lectures are the only thing your student can refer back to. They learn how to take lecture notes which is good. Overall, its above their heads, time consuming, and not teacher friendly. I would only recommend this for the dissections videos. It does not follow the text, so cannot be interchanged.

I thought I would try this curriculum with my daughter who has always done very well in Science. We tried this curriculum to only be disappointed. It is nice to have labs (lacked clear explanations on some formulas) on video, especially with a limited budget; however, it seemed to lack appeal in the lectures. We switched over to just using Apologia Biology, which my daughter loves the Apologia series (should have known to stick with what works),because Apologia is so in depth and puts science in an easy to understand format.
