Biology 101 (Giveaway included!!)

Posted by Kysha | 0 comments

Did you know that Beatrix Potter was a scientific illustrator or that Solomon was a biologist who gave lectures on plant and animal life? Did you know that Carolus Linnaeus developed taxonomy, the classification system that we use in order to divide our animal and plant life today?

I didn’t know this information until viewing Biology 101. Biology 101: Biology According To The Days of Creation is a video series that gives an overview of Biology from the Biblical perspective. It comprises four DVDs covering Plants, Aquatics Creatures, Avian Creatures, Land Animals, Mankind and Genetics. All based on the days of creation. The total length of the series is 4 1/2 hours and a guidebook which includes quizzes accompanies the series also. The creator of this wonderful series has geared it toward 15 year olds and higher but my science loving 3rd and 4th graders loved it! Wes Olson, a Bible college graduate and homeschooling father, developed and hosted this great series. He is very knowledgeable of Biology and we absolutely loved his sense of humor.

Initially, I was afraid that this would be another boring video series that someone had conjured up with their family’s video camera. Boy, was I ever wrong! These videos are very professionally prepared with colorful photography, clear and understandable illustrations such as the anatomy of the bird and digestion system of cud chewing mammals, and brief scientists biographies. I especially loved the way that each area of study had been divided according to the classification system then thoroughly discussed and illustrated. These videos are very informative and would be a great addition to any Biology curriculum.

You can learn more information about this series at http://www.the101series.com/. Biology 101 is a set of 4 DVDs, with a combined total running time of 4 hours and 37 minutes. Included with the DVDs (on Disc #4) is a 114-page illustrated printable (pdf) guidebook packed with information and quizzes, and a 12-page accreditation booklet (pdf). Together, the DVDs and guidebook can serve as a high-school level biology course or provide a foundation on which to build a curriculum of your own design.
