Yes, You Can Teach Homeschool Biology (Without a Degree)!

The thought of teaching an upper grade science, such as biology, makes a lot of parents shudder. They remember their own difficulties and don't feel confident enough to teach these more advanced subjects to their high school student. While teaching high school takes extra work and planning, there is no reason to fear There is such a vast wealth of home school science resources and curriculum available to the homeschooling parent, that teaching even these tougher subjects are very doable.
Will I have to set up a classroom lab in my home?
No, definitely not, but could if you wanted to, depending on the budget you have to work with. For instance, biology could be taught very simply in a "nature study" style format, which would include observing and documenting the life cycle of frogs, watching mold grow and viewing spores under a microscope or maybe making cheese and discussing live cultures. This could be supplemented by reading biographies about famous biologists (do a Google search).
Another option would be an online or virtual class, which might only demonstrate the results of an experiment and require little real-life experimentation on the part of the student. If this sounds a little too dry, there are usually fairly inexpensive science experiment kits available for purchase that includes and all the needed supplies (mostly) and directions to complete the experiments. This would "liven up" the chemistry course and add a hands-on component.
Other more expensive alternatives would be to purchase a more in-depth program that requires dissection tools and a microscope. Virtually anything is available for homeschoolers to purchase and set up a home lab. When my high school daughter was taking an advanced anatomy course, she had to dissect a cow's heart and a sheep's eyeball and the whole "dissection kit was ordered online for about $30.00.
So, as you can see the sky is the limit. It all depends on your budget and how in depth and challenging your would like your child's homeschool biology course, and you can make it as simple or as in-depth as you choose. This is just one of the many benefits of homeschooling, the ability to customize your child's curriculum to their interests and learning style.
