  1. We can’t seem to access the workbook pages online anymore like we used to. Have things changed so that we are now required to download the biology worksheets? We really appreciated just having them online previously. Thank you!

    1. The workbook is now a free store item. If you go to printable and worksheets and then to printable books, you will see that you can get the entire workbook as a download and no longer have to download it one worksheet at a time. 🙂 Let me know if you have any other questions.

  2. The link to the You Make Me Sick game is not working.

    1. Thanks for reporting all of the broken links! You are awesome!! I’ll get them fixed up asap! 🙂
