Timberdoodle's Review

Typically counted as 1 credit for high school students.

Friendly Biology

Any text that uses Lego figures to discuss genetics has earned the moniker "Friendly!" Friendly Biology, with its clear, colorful diagrams and abundant photos, introduces the world of biology to high-school students in a gentle, non-intimidating manner.

Written by a homeschooling husband and wife team, Friendly Biology covers mitosis and meiosis, genetics, taxonomy, ecology, an overview of all human body systems, and much more.

With meaningful lessons and spot-on lab activities, Friendly Biology will not merely teach your teen biological terms and processes, but it should also give him awe and respect for both the splendor and complexity of living things.

We were especially pleased with their tasteful yet complete discussion of human reproduction.

This program includes 28 lessons (10-25 pages in each lesson). A microscope is not required. This program will contain high-quality images from a high-powered microscope. The lab activities in the set use items that can be found already in your home or can be purchased at your local store. Many of the labs are consumable. Literally, you can eat them!

Friendly Biology is available in both a religious and non-religious version. The difference is removing a few Christian worldview-based comments from the secular edition. Completing Friendly Biology and all the included labs provides your child with a year's high school credit in Biology.

The Friendly Biology Set includes the Textbook, Student Workbook, and the Tests and Solutions Manual. The Lesson Tests and Answer Key also contains answers for the Student Workbook. If you are teaching more than one student, you will want an extra Workbook for each student. The Textbook and Tests and Solutions Manual are non-consumable.

Easy to read

This book was very clear and easy for my child to understand. She enjoyed it.

LOVE TimberDoodle themselves! BUT...

So far we love working with the curriculum kits from Timberdoodle! The only complaint we have so far is that the answer guides are not revised very well or closely. We have found NUMEROUS errors! Some of the answers are just cut off and not complete. Others are typos that are partially correct and such. Other then that, we love the kits! I would download a picture to show, but haveing some technical issues at the moment with my phone. But the very first lesson has some major typos and errors if you look at it and compare it with the students workbook lesson questions. One other complaint we have was that we thought that maybe it's better to just put ALL of the the lessons AS WELL AS TESTS into the students workbook and then JUST THE ANSWERS in the teachers books or answer books. Saves on us having to tear out and it gets all sloppy and messed up from not ripping out right or having to copy and waste the ink from our printers. Just a thought for the book companies. Timberdoodle is great otherwise and just can't say enough about them finding and picking out the books for us parents that homeschool fulltime! Thanks again!

Thank you so much for this review! We truly appreciate hearing from real homeschool families and their experiences with our products. We apologize for all the errors you found. We have passed on your review to the publisher, and they are checking into it and stated that they would love to connect with you as well. If you would like to shoot us an email, we would be happy to put you both in touch with each other. mailbag@timberdoodle.com
Thank you!

Highly Recommend

I bought the secular Friendly Biology. I love that Timberdoodle is incorporating more secular curriculum. This book is well written, great pictures, and lots of great biology facts presented in an easy to learn format. With that being said, it is a high level, grade appropriate text book. I learned a lot of great things about biology that hadn't been as clear for me in high school! Really fun to learn alongside my children.

Friendly Biology

I like the clear, understandable explanations. We understand electrons better than we did from another program! I wish the test were a little more challenging.

Simple to use

The only problem I've found so far is in a cross word puzzle there was 1 to many blocks but no biggie . So far so good and love that it includes direction for lab experiments .
