A central focus of each class is to help your student: â€œLearn how to learn” and remember those facts and names that seem to be overwhelming. It is all about making Science understandable! Memorization may work on the short term to get that “A” on an exam, but memorization with understanding will last a lifetime!

Why Take Dr. Dan’s Biology Courses?

  • Earn one High School credit when both semesters are taken
  • Learn Biology anytime, anywhere online 24/7
  • Semester 2 has over 120 videos in the series
  • Each week (module) is topically divided into several separate videos. Any given module (on average) may have 6-10 Class videos totally about 1 hour of instruction. Watch one video per day or the whole set all in one sitting. You choose what is best for your schedule and your child
  • Watch the videos as many times as needed to master the material
  • Hone your notetaking skills by pausing the videos, slowing their speed, repeating the content
  • College prep (Honors)
  • Each video is a superior quality, fully illustrated, PowerPoint presentation. No whiteboard presentations here!

 Dr. Dan’s Biology Course will lay a firm groundwork for students who want to take Science to the College Level. Prior students have stated that this course was really helpful for the College Level Examination Program (CLEP) test and/or the Advanced Placement (AP) test. Many students also stated that they felt excellently prepared once they got to college!

However, this course is also very suitable for the struggling learner who desires to go at their own pace! Dr. Dan strives to make concepts understandable and memorable for a lifetime! Many moms of dyslexic students have been very pleased with how Dr. Dan’s material is presented to create more passion for learning.

Preferred prerequisites : Biology Semester 1 with Dr. Dan. Dr Dan's philosophy of learning is more than just loads of memorization, but instead the goal is understanding and mastering the material. Throughout each course many techniques of how to study are incorporated. If you feel that your student has the equivalent learning from another source, then sign up now!
What to expect : Some learners average 45 minutes per day during the 5 day school week for study, memorization, lab prep and reading 1 module PRIOR to viewing weekly sessions. Other may take as little as 45-60 minutes of study, memory, etc per week. It's all quite dependent on the individual learner and their study habits, interest, and abilities! Viewing can be repeated a often as needed!

Previous Questions
Vince K: Hello Dr. Dan - at what point in the book do you pickup for this second semester? My son has covered up to module 5 at this point. VK
Hi Vince 
First Semester includes the first 8 Modules of the textbook. The Textbook has a total of 16 modules. Module 9 through 16 would be the content for 2nd Semester. Since the classes are pre-recorded (not live), you can start Second Semester anytime and go at the pace that suites your son. Hopes this helps. Many blessings
Rebekah K: Hi, Rebekah enjoyed your biology class so much she wants to take your chemistry class next year; the textbook says Exploring Chemistry 2nd edition but it looks like they have come out with a 3rd edition now; do we need to try to find the 2nd edition or do you think the 3rd edition will work?
Hi Rebekah 
I\'m so glad you enjoyed biology! In my opinion, Chemistry is equally fascinating! You definitely want the second edition. The 3rd had poor reviews. You should be able to find the 2nd ed. used or at a discounted price. 
Have a blessed, awesome summer! 
Dr. Dan
Angela M: Dr. Dan, Are there currently any lab requirements for the second semester? I am planning on having my 8th grader take your Biology (1st and 2nd semesters) next school year. Thank you, Angela
Hi Angela: 
Super question! 
 
I highly recommend that your son do the labs at home as he follows along with my lab videos. My Course includes both Class and Lab Videos along with a lab manual for both Semester 1 and Semester 2. There is a list of lab supplies that you can refer to in the 2nd ed. of Biology by Apologia, found in Appendix C. 
 
The more expensive items needed for lab include a microscope and slide set that apply to the organisms discussed in Class and Lab. If finances are limited, the lab videos are designed so that your son can view the same images even if a microscope isn\'t available. 
 
In addition, there will be dissection throughout the 32 weeks of Class (Sem 1 is 16 weeks long, and Sem 2 another 16 weeks). For these labs, he will need the correct specimens ( an earthworm, crayfish, fish, and frog). To do the dissection, he will also need a dissection tray, dissection kit, and latex gloves. There are videos available for each of these specimens and more! It is worthwhile to shop around online for some of these items (dissection tray and kit). Many local home-school groups also have Summer Sales of used items., including the textbook! 
I hope this helps. 
Be Blessed
