Biology Lab Manual

Our homeschool Biology Lab Manual guides students through 20 hands-on labs that can all be done from home. Labs performed include microscope & slide experiments, dissections and more. Fully integrates with our Christian Biology curriculum or may be used independently to fulfill a homeschool lab requirement.

Science Shepherd's Biology is a comprehensive and integrated college-prep homeschool curriculum, incorporating textbook, optional daily video-based lessons, lab manual, supplementary parent/teacher informational guide book, and test materials. Written by physician and homeschool dad Scott Hardin, MD, Science Shepherd Biology was designed for independent study with advanced concepts presented in an easy-to-learn format. With the supplementary teacher information, parents can be involved in their student's learning without needing to be an expert in biology.
