Give your middle school student the basics of life science and human biology. This semester covers anatomy and all the major body systems (with the exception of the reproductive system). In the following semester, we will explore animals, plants, & more.
How to get the most out of Middle School Life Science, Part One with Victoria Cerise:
-
First, read the course materials below before the first class meeting.
-
Then have a notebook ready and available for class notes each live session.
-
Read assignments before class meetings
-
Watch that week’s recording if you need to revisit information from our live session.
-
Do the assignments, quizzes, and any extra work assigned for that week.
-
Once the course is completed to the parent's and professor’s satisfaction, there is a Certificate of Completion at the end to be filled in for your records.
