BIOLOGY COLORING WOR 1st 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!

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.

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 recommended this to all my biology students. The pictures are very good and the reason why I purchased it. The written explanations are also clear and concise.Edit: The only downside is this book still contains the old 5 kingdom system with Monera. This is the only flaw I have found though, all the other topics appear accurate and easy to use.

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 coloring workbook makes me excited to study biology. It does not cover all the topics that are covered in a college Biology class (it was published a little while back), but it does hit upon a lot of topics and really helps me understand the material and is super fun!

This is a great find. We are using it for a supplemental for biology. It's well written, and the lessons are clear.

I was looking for a good coloring book for my Special Needs Biology Class to reinforce concepts. What I got was a textbook with pictures. The drawings were too small to color and difficult for my students to understand. There were more diagrams then pictures which would make it very difficult to color. I am very disappointed and will be returning this book.
