BIOLOGY COLORING WOR Clr Csm Edition

I am a homeschool teacher and I bought this for my dyslexic high school son. Even though he is very bright, he struggles with traditional textbooks.I am thrilled with the format of this book. It is great for upper middle school/non-AP level Biology. I am an MD and majored in undergrad in Biology, so I was very particular about what book to use.This book is thorough and complete without being overwhelming. It is broken up into 145 or so "plates" with a lesson that corresponds. Each detail of the drawing is simply explained, and I can see the light bulbs going off in my son's head!As to the coloring aspect, there are certainly parts that can be colored and many plates lend themselves well to that. Others are so simple and straight forward that coloring them is not worth the effort and may even detract from the plate.It is very doable to read and study one lesson or plate together each day. I bought a second copy for myself so we could read along together and look and the diagrams at the same time.I am really hoping there will be more books written in this style, because it is an answer to prayer for this particular child for this subject!

I wish I could give this product a higher rating than 3 stars. Obviously work was put into the production of the text, and if I wanted to have purchased a textbook, I would have given it 4 stars. But, bummer, I wanted a 'coloring books.' So much about biology and DNA is pretty dense for me, so breaking it down by actually coloring cell parts, parts of DNA, DNA replications, etc., was what i really, really wanted. There are coloring plates for each section, but they are actually quite small and you'll need really sharp colored pencils to color in the parts. That's not so much a problem, but the book just involves more reading and less drawing, and since I'm a visual learner, that was what I was going for; however, it's okay. I think it's going to be a matter of taste as to who likes and who does not like this book. If you're looking for less text and more of the traditional Coloring Workbooks, this may leave you wanting. . .

This is more of a text book with coloring pages. It offers good and accurate information on multiple aspects of biology. When you open the book, the left page is text and the right page is illustrations, some for coloring and some that are just diagrams. It is moderately useful for my cellular biology class, with extra information that those in other biology classes would likely find useful. This is good for readers who like reading some additional text while having a "hands on" learning activity.

I bought this book and the other one that was recommended, by Robert Griffin. Just glancing through the two, I much prefer this one for the diagrams. They aren't as busy as the other books. So, for someone looking for diagrams that tell the story but don't overwhelm you; I would suggest this book.

I use this in my freshman biology class. The students like doing these but I wonder how much learning is happening when the students are coloring the pictures. The students can color the pictures using the color key supplied with the pictures without much thought.

This book got me good grades in college. While these books may appear as simple children's activities, they are instead detailed and complete guides to college level work and textbooks, giving a new initiative to learning material. The color, details, and careful explanations included within these books complement work done in the classroom and in the field. Before paying out large sums for study guides, outside tutoring or online help, try this book.

Highly recommend this for high school and lower level college biology classes!!! It helped me so much and is such a great study aid as well. Well worth purchasing!!!

I have not used the coloring book yet, so I may love it. It arrived as expected.

I just wanted to say I absolutely love this book. I bought 3 colouring books for a christmas gift to my Girlfriend. She went to school for biochemistry and she absolutely adores them, she told me out of the 3 books this one is the best. I love this book because it makes my girlfriend happy!

Great Teacher resource for upper level Biology courses.
