Teaching with Khan Academy: Biology (A curriculum guide to Teaching Biology with Khan Academy)

This Biology guide covers the California high school standards (Standards can be found online). However, it can also be used for junior high school. I do use text books and other resources as well. Certain areas of the state standards weren’t completely covered by Khan Academy. But, for most of the areas required to be covered, Khan Academy does a wonderful job of explaining the concepts. I have also included other online resources I used.

I put the sequence of lessons in an order that I thought was progressive. That way, as the lessons went on the vocabulary was repeated and some concepts already covered. I found evolution to be the easiest theme to start with to get us on our way. It introduces so much vocabulary and just an overall view of biology before we start to look closer into each area. So the order is not necessarily as the standards are listed in the California Standards guide.
