  1. I was looking to include some of your experiments and other things for my son who is using the Biology 101. I felt it needed some extra items and someone said you have the Biology 101 included. I used the search feature and found all the weeks with you included the Biology 101 videos except for this week 8. On the search page, it said week 8 and sent me here but I do not see it as a resource. I believe it would be the 2 videos about the human body, as those were the only videos that I could not find referenced in the schedule.

    1. Hi Holly, I didn’t schedule in any of the videos about the human body because that isn’t covered in bio. Instead, that topic is covered in our human anatomy and health curriculum. 🙂

      1. That makes sense. Thanks for the reply. I just wonder why Week 8 showed up in the search for “biology 101”? Thanks for providing this resource for free. Your smorgasbord always overwhelmed but this gave me a good sense of how you do your subjects. I like it.

        1. So glad you like it! If you have any other questions, I’m always just an email away. 🙂
