The author of Apologia Biology curriculum is Dr. Jay L. Wile. He has done a great service for homeschooling families by offering the best homeschool science curriculum for the middle school and high school. This Biology course is designed as the first high school level science course for homeschool. In this new edition, Dr. Wile includes more color illustrations, includes easier experiements, clarifies explanations, and offers a website that includes links to extra help for students. Through this course, your Biology focus will be on 16 modules that cover cell life, genetics creation science as an alternative to evolution, ecology, insects, plants, reptiles, mammals, and more. The complete curriculum ncludes a 200 page test and solutions book as well as a hardcover text with 594 pages.

The Apologia books sets are not cheap…(kind of reminds me of what my children are now paying for their books in college). The retail of the set which includes the textbook and the Solutions & Test book is $85. The nice thing is that right now, the Apologia sets are on sale for $59.49.

We used these Apologia curricula: General Science, Physical Science, Biology, and Chemistry. Four of our five children used the books and then after they were finished, I sold the books for about a third of what I paid. It turned out to average about $10 per child, per course. That is a deal. If you only have one child use the curriculum, you can keep it in new or very good condition and get more that half of your investment back when you sell it.
