I thought I would post a quick update outlining some of the resources we are using for Biology this year. Some are actually a part of our course, taught by Kerry. Others are extras that we have added in here and there. Of course, in addition to the listed resources, two main components of our study this year have been to get outside and actually observe nature through nature walks, and microscopy labs using prepared slides as well as items found during those nature walks (or even cells from our own cheeks). Like all courses Kerry leads, Biology is a ton of fun!
