Description
Do you want EVERYTHING done for the entire school year for your high school biology course? This bundle is for you! This no-prep paper AND digital paperless biology curriculum is all of the notes, labs, activities, practices, homework, projects, quizzes, and tests you need to teach an entire year of biology. Every major biology unit is covered and listed below. Everything is provided for two levels – CP and Honors. This is an excellent stand-alone resource or could be used to refresh or supplement an existing curriculum that you have. Not only that, but the student packets come in a paperless digital version that can be used in Google Drive™ and/or Microsoft OneDrive™. This is perfect for the teacher who is in a 1:1 classroom, for someone who is hoping to integrate more educational technology to move towards becoming a paperless classroom, or is currently teaching via distance learning. Because it is all-inclusive, it is especially useful for new teachers, maternity leave, and flipped classrooms!

Genetics Unit *UPDATED!*

Heredity Unit *UPDATED!*

What types of resources are included?
I strongly encourage you to click the links to each unit above and download their previews. Each unit preview will give you 15-20 pages detailing what is included. In summary, you will be receiving over 3,500 pages of curriculum including animated and editable PowerPoint slides with links to video lectures for each one, 10 packets (1 per unit) of student handouts, over 250 pages of implementation notes, editable unit plans (with both 50-minute and 90-minute pacing options), detailed answer keys, and editable tests and quizzes. Plus, access to ALL of the materials in the student packets in a digital paperless format that can be used in Google Drive™ and/or Microsoft OneDrive™.

Not only that, but in purchasing this bundle you will get free updates for LIFE for any content added to it. Since originally writing the curriculum I have added paperless digital versions of all student packets, study guide answer keys, mini-units that dive deeper into 3 extension topics (plants, homeostasis, and pathogens) and recently finished a major revamp of every unit. This revamp included redoing all notes and lecture videos, reformatting all student packets and instructional resources, adding study guide answer keys, updating assessment questions, rewriting all teacher implementation notes (including tips for distance learning), and adding ~3-5 new learning activities to each unit.
The newest additions to the biology curriculum include the yearlong independent research projects, binder covers, filled in Cornell notes and fill in the blank Cornell notes – both in the printable PDF packet format and the paperless digital Google Drive™ format.
