MacBeth,

Help! Is there a living book on systems of the body suitable for high school students or adults? I am trying to do a high school level biology course with living books. There seem to be a number of books covering other topics in biology, but not that area.

Btw, thanks for your great website! I really learned a lot from it. I just wish I had seen it years ago. I think at least my oldest dd would have liked science much more if I had done it "your way."

In Christ,

I'm not MacBeth, but here goes. There's a movie out about the men who discovered DNA, called _The Race for the Double Helix_. I have not seen it myself.

There's a book about Rosalind Franklin: The Dark Lady of DNA, by Brenda Maddox. It was Franklin's photograph of the DNA molecule that sparked a scientific revolution. The photo showed, for the first time, the essential structure of DNA -- the double-helix shape, which also indicated its method of replication.

More info at:

Do plan to extract DNA. Here's one of my favorite experiments:
