Textbooks
- For the PASS biology book (great for when you don't need to get heavy into biology at the high school level) and a few other digital textbooks, please contact me via the form at the bottom and leave your email address.
- CK 12 - online biology, simulation, and study guides
- Kids Biology.com - online textbook and games (I used to use the heck out of this site and sister sites in the earlier internet days with my kids when we were overseas).
- Biology4Kids - online textbook and quizzes
Videos/Lessons
- Khan Academy Biology (high school and above)
- NEO K12 - videos and lessons, look for "life science"
Virtual Microscopes
Virtual Microscope - Knowitall.org - This one is neat because student can select a specimen, prep it on a slide and then view it under the virtual microscope. Great for younger kids.Virtual Microscope - this is a downloadable program from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
