Biology teacher

Pages are just simple enough for students to learn something but not get overwhelmed with the details. Great for most topics.

Biology coloring workbook

The details in this book sets it apart from a childs coloring book. This has been a great asset in our homeschooling curriculum.

Great supplement for Biology students

I use this book to introduce topics to my students or to expand on different topics. It's very user friendly and great for high school biology concepts. I also have the biology coloring book by Robert Griffin and this one is a million times better!

Helped me with learning biology

I used this book to help me memorize important facts in biology. Although I had to use Raven's Biology book (not a bad textbook), this coloring book helped to reinforce the facts to my brain. I read somewhere that most people are visual learners. Being a visual learner myself, I found that coloring the pictures in really helped with learning the various structures. Sections on the cell were excellent. You could color in mitochondria or whatever other cell components. If you really want to know the kind of questions asked on college biology tests get the following: The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Topics: Organization of Living Things & Chemistry of Life, Structure and Function of the Cell and Energy Pathways, Reproduction and Heredity, Genetics) Volume 1 The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Topics: Evolution, Ecology, Kingdom Bacteria, Kingdom Protista, Kingdom Fungi, & Viruses, Plant Form and Function) Volume 2 The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Epxlantions (Topics: Kingdom Animalia, Organization of the Animal Body, Animal Form and Function, Animial Reproduction, Development and Behavior) Volume 3 These last 3 study guides were awesome because it allievated a lot of my anxiety before taking my college exams. This is because they showed what type of questions that could be asked on my exams. In this way, it helped me to prevent getting surprise questions. The Biology Coloring Book also helped with fact retention. I got great grades because of the study guides and the biology coloring book

Alternative Learning

As a homeschooling mom, I found this book very informative and well-designed. My children (1 high school-aged taking college classes and the other elemntary school-aged) both enjoy the book and find it interesting. If you're looking for something for creative minds who have to have a reason to study a picture for a while to more fully understand concepts, this is the way to go. You can color the pictures or not and still get some useful material from this book.
