Biology for the Logic Stage Teacher Guide

The Biology for the Logic Stage Teacher Guide includes 36 weeks of instruction (6 units) that cover ecology, plants, invertebrates, vertebrates, animals, and the human body. Based on a classical science education methodology, this manual is designed to give teachers the tools needed to help middle-school students explore biological topics through hands-on inquiry, information, writing, and a science project.

This teacher's guide includes weekly student assignment lists, which clearly lay out what students are to complete for their experiment, sketch, vocabulary & memory work, writing, and date-work. Pre-labeled sketches and teacher-led discussion questions are provided along with unit tests and a year-end test (with answer keys). Information is also given for each experiment, including explanations of the expected results. Two schedules---one 2-days-per-week and one 5-days-per week---are also provided.

The Biology for the Logic Stage student guide is sold-separately and is necessary to complete the program, as it contains the student forms.

There are five books used as reference works for this curriculum; the first two are used as "spine" texts:

The Usborne Science Encyclopedia The Kingfisher Science Encyclopedia Encyclopedia of Nature by DK The Usborne Illustrated Dictionary of Science Human Body (DK Eyewitness Book)
