Thanks to generous public and private school teachers and free online curriculum providers, there are a handful of homeschool biology programs online that can be used with or without a textbook.

Human Body Unit Study and Lapbook project
This lesson page will help you teach all about the human body in great detail. It is probably most appropriate for elementary and middle school age and is a great precursor to high school biology.

We all have one! We use it every moment of every day-- your incredible human body! What a personal and relevant topic of study for any child!
For the younger students, your study may focus primarily on anatomy, so you will explore the body's organs and body's systems. For older students you may extend the study into physiology and add in the functioning of the human body, including its systems, tissues, and cells.
Browse the ideas and links here to plan your human body lapbook, notebook, or unit study.

Anatomy of the Human Body
Anatomy is a sub set of Biology, but a perfectly acceptable course for a homeschooler.
More specifically, Anatomy is "branch of biology concerned with the study of body structure of various organisms, including humans"
This is an online book provided by Bartelby.com. You could create tests yourself to go along with this text, or have the student write essays to explain what they have learned or to discuss theories. This online book has excellent illustrations.
^ Here's an anatomy coloring book you can use alongside the free online book.

Dissect a cow eye virtually
Courtesy of exploratorium.edu learning studios, you student can watch the dissection of a cow's eye... if they can stomach it. If they want to give it a try themselves (you supply the eye and tools) they can follow along with downloaded step by step instructions.
Enjoy these links to dissection tools and simulated frog dissection kit.

Use of my text for educational purposes is encouraged and
appreciated, however many illustrations are taken off the web, and I have
indicated the source page (when that page still is an active link) and tried to
provide a link back to the original.
