Greg Landry's Homeschool Science - Crew Review

 

Disclaimer: I received this complimentary product through the Homeschool Review Crew.

Greg Landry’s Homeschool Science has created a Virtual, Interactive Homeschool Laboratory for 7^th-12^th grade students learning about biology, anatomy, and physiology. Students within a subscribed family have access to the virtual lab experiments for a full year and can work at their own pace through these virtual biology labs.

Lab 1: Measurement in Science

Lab 2: Diffusion and Osmosis

Lab 3: Blood Type

Lab 4: Protein Synthesis – mRNA Codons

Lab 5: Cell Mitosis

Lab 6: Urinalysis

Lab 7: Cellular Respiration

Lab 8: Frog Dissection

Lab 9: Bacterial Inhibition

Lab 10: Muscular Work, Power and Caloric Expenditure

Lab 11: Density Determination

To begin, students login to the virtual lab and choose the experiment they want to perform. Students watch a video of professor Greg Landry explaining the background information on the topic of that experiment as well as details on performing the experiment.

With their mouse and keyboard, students follow a step-by-step method to perform all the steps in the experiment; and they record data from the experiment in their (paper) lab notebook.

After students have watched the video lesson and performed the lab experiment, they create a lab report based upon the experiment they performed and the data they collected.

After recently completing biology, my daughter enjoyed working through the labs each Wednesday during her infusion time because it was like playing a computer game. She was very quick to determine the blood types in lab three! I really thought it would be time consuming to go through fifty slides; but it really didn’t take her long at all. When finished, she said she already knew this information so she breezed right through it. Landry has created a fun learning tool that guides students through the process to perform experiments online using a computer. These realistic, interactive, virtual lab experiments require no supplies! Everything is done online! Students simply take notes and record data to create their lab report.
