R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey Biology 2 Textbook

New format 2020: The R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey Biology 2 course is now contained in three books: the student textbook, the student workbook, and the teacher guide.

This student textbook starts each chapter with an entertaining written lesson. The lesson is followed by several components in the R.E.A.L. Science Odyssey Biology 2 workbook that are intended to reinforce the lesson, address the needs of different learning styles, and engage students in hands-on learning and research. The components inside the student workbook include lab sheets, lab reports, problem sets, activities, famous science research assignments, coloring sheets, microscope labs, poetry, and vocabulary review.

The parent/teacher’s text provides all the help a science novice needs to assist her student including suggested course scheduling, summaries, additional material and explanations, sample reports, learning objectives, answers and suggestions, tests, and quizzes. Divided into 32 chapters, Biology 2 provides a rigorous and complete biology course that covers a 36-week school year.

RSO Biology 2 is a comprehensive biology course designed to meet and exceed the National Science Education Standards for life science at the middle school level (grades 5 through 8). But unlike many science textbooks, RSO Biology 2 is not a dry collection of facts and worksheets. Rather, this is an in-depth course that engages young people's minds while allowing them to actively participate in learning biology.

Major topics covered in RSO Biology 2 include: Cells, Genetics, Anatomy & Physiology, Evolution, Ecology, and Classification.

RSO Biology 2 is designed specifically for home, group, and small classroom use. The course assumes no science background for teacher or student and does not require and an expensive laboratory. RSO Biology 2 uses natural settings that encourage students to explore the world around them through the hands-on application of the scientific method, observation skills, analytical skills, and age-appropriate mathematics.
