I am thinking to get the Kolbe plans for biology but am trying to find the text- I know they are super inexpensive down south of the border, but they are a little pricey up here even used. I have looked through Fetch, Amazon.ca and .com, Abe books etc. Any ideas? Anyone have one they are dying to sell

We are currently using the text, lesson plans, and the very expensive Virtual BioLab. They are SO worth it! It is fun, engaging, and my daughter is learning so much more than I did in College Biology. The Virtual BioLab has worksheets, and slides you can look under the microscope (via the Virtual Lab). I know it is expensive, but worth it. I won't have my book for sale for a few years, as I have other girls that are going to work off of it, but I just wanted to make a plug that if you cannot buy it secondhand, to really try to budget for it. It is excellent.

I would agree with this completely. I was very happy with the text, virtual lab, and the lesson plans when we used them last year.

Pricey, but definitely worth it!

eta: I have another student coming up who needs ours!

Thanks so much. It caps it for me!!

One more thing: we want to do hands on labs- is there an alternative hands-on lab component written in the plans?

Thanks so much!

Yes, there is an alternate lab in the plans. We used the virtual lab, though, so I don't remember all the details. You can email or call them. They are really good about answering questions.

Yes, they were great about it when I phoned them today. The plans are on their way- unfortunately I had to pay over $100 for the text (it is not easily obtainable in Canada used! )

Glad you were able to get your questions answered, Kristie! I think you will find that it is worth it.

We weren't able to purchase it used, either. The only one I could find was an older edition.
