Disclaimer: I received a FREE copy of this product through the HOMESCHOOL REVIEW CREW in exchange for my honest review. I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.
For years I have been trying to find an online Science curriculum, and I am so thankful that we have had the opportunity to receive and review Experience Biology: Upper Level from Journey Homeschool Academy I have been really impressed with the program so far. It is informative, but not boring. Luke and Trish Gilkerson are an amazing duo that really knows how to teach Science in a way that is fun and educational. Luke is the teacher throughout the videos we have watched and Trish is the writer of the curriculum. Both are an asset to the online teaching community!!! I also love that fact that is Bible-based!!!!
Our son Josh is 15 and entering the 11th grade. Experience Biology: Upper Level has been a perfect fit for him. When you sign up, you will be asked to set up a profile for your student where he or she will be logging on to take the classes. This particular class has 34 lessons ranging from What is Biology to an Introduction to Ecology. Your student will begin with an introduction by Luke and Trish and from there on they will begin their course. Each week they will watch videos, be encouraged to read a chapter or 2 from a book I will tell you about later, take a quiz, answer a few research questions, and complete a lab project. So simple!!
As a parent, you will be responsible for printing the pdf files your child will need, buying the lab supplies, and if you choose you will also buy the book The Riot and the Dance. If you do not wish to print all the materials needed you can also purchase the Student Lab Guide and Student Guidebook from their store online. We chose to print out our books to save a little money since we have a good printer that is not expensive to print on.
Josh has been enjoying the classes. He isn't one to sit still for long periods of time, so I am always apprehensive when it comes to online classes, but these are only about 30 minutes in length for each one and Luke keeps your attention, so this a great fit for Josh. I think what Josh enjoys most is the lab sessions. He has always learned well through hands-on activities.
If you are concerned about teaching upper-level Science classes like I was, and you want a great resource that will teach your child Biology in a unique way, these classes are for you!!!
