The human body! We haven’t really covered that yet in our science explorations. We get stuck on astronomy, ecology and geology 🙂
Blair
I understand how easy it is to get stuck on those. I am writing Earth and Space now and WOW!!! this is fascinating stuff.
Sarah
Love the podcast! And I loved the interview with Blair Lee. Big thanks for introducing me to pandia books; I didn’t know these awesome books existed.
Natalie
Thanks for the really informative podcast episode.
Jen Driscoll
We look forward to investigating more genetics, botany, and microbiology! We did a great job with anatomy and how the animal kingdoms are related from a phenotypic sense, with a light touch on the smaller scale of life. Next time around we need to look harder at the relationships from the genetic side and have more fun playing with microscopes!
Renée
Just found your podcast, looking for secular homeschooling/Charlotte Mason stuff… fantastic! I’ve been considering investing in some Pandia Press books. I’m studying pre-med myself so everything Human Body is what I’m interested in!
Ellie
Have recently discovered Pandia Press and about to start Biology 1 with my two boys. Looking forward to Biology 2 aswell!
Great interview too; thanks.
Stefany
We’re looking forward to the evolution chapter in Biology 2. Not many science books (at least those aimed at homeschoolers) discuss evolution so I’m glad Blair Lee does!
Also, thanks for mentioning Cosmos in your Podcast, we’re loving the series so far!
tammy cordery
Learning about the botany would be great.
Raechelle
Found this when researching a secular homeschool science program for next year. I already use Pandia Press for history, thanks for the Bio 2 info. You guys are great, “liked” you on facebook!
hbessman
Microorganisms and everything else using microscopes!

We recently recieved our first Pandia Press curriculum, and we love it! It is exactly what I’d been searching for!
