Apologia Biology Giveaway

Apologia BiologyI have spent the evening arguing with FeedBurner which has been about as productive as arguing with a wall, but at least that means that hopefully I will be able to relieve my bookshelf of one item gathering dust.

To a random commenter will go:  Exploring Creation with Biology, Second Edition put out by Apologia.  It even comes with the Solutions and Tests, still neatly wrapped in plastic wrap.  If you would like a second entry in the giveaway, you can either link to this post on your blog or tweet about it.  Just leave the link in my comment box or I undoubtedly will miss it.

I know very little about Apologia and cannot offer much of a review.  I’m not even sure how I got this book, although I have a vague memory of being a random commenter selected on a blog giveaway.  But we’re a long ways away from high school biology and I would prefer the book be used by someone before then.

Wow.  It looks like it retails for $85 with an additional $20 for the test booklet.

Contest will close Friday, January 23, 2009.

    We love Apologia science! It has given my college kids a fine science foundation, it is definitely “homeschool” friendly, and acknowledges God as Creator!

  6. Amanda, January 16, 2009:

    WOW! how awesome is this! I would love to put this to good use! ;)
    I really like the way Apologia explains science. I was able to understand it more than the BJU one we have!

  44. T8ermomma, January 19, 2009:

    My DD is enthralled with Apologia. She has a set passion and has already decided that she will work towards becoming a marine biologist. Which means LOTS and LOTS of study! ;)

    I’ve looked around you blog it looks like I have some figuring out to do! LOL, like the scroll bars along the side . . .

    Blessings,
    Stefanie

  87. Ber, January 20, 2009:

    I have homeschooled for fifteen years now, one is grown and one is off at University. I still have four at home. My Apologia is wearing out and now with four more to go I need to replace it. No hardships but it would come in handy.

    I also went a year ago and checked out all the other science curriculums out there, knowing replacement day was coming. I had help from other moms, one was a Science major in college and credentialed teacher.

    We were searching for a secular curriculum that matched or beat Apologia. After weeks of research we found none. Public schools use sub par at best curriculums that cost three to ten times the price.

    So we will stay with Apologia. Oh, and my now University daughter took Biology in College last semester. He raved about her coursework!! She explained what she used and she was homeschooled. So even if you don’t win, ha only one will, know it is a good curriculum.

  88. Laura O, January 20, 2009:

    We’ve used some of the elementary series of Apologia so far. My eldest needs to move up, so we’d love to have this for a future year.

  89. Vicky Shaw, January 20, 2009:

    I hear a lot about Apologia. I’ve never been able to afford it though.

  90. Jenny Anderson, January 20, 2009:

    I have a 9th grader that could use this! But good luck to all!

  91. Jane Elliott, January 20, 2009:

    Thanks for the giveaway! We love Apologia products.

  92. Stephanie Smith, January 20, 2009:

    I would love this book! I have a middle schooler who could really put this to use! Thanks so much for offering it up!

  93. April C, January 20, 2009:

    I LOVE APOLOGIA!!! We have been using the General Science Book this year. I am usually not the textbook type, but we really enjoy Apologia. Thank You for blessing someone with this great book.

  94. Marcia B, January 20, 2009:

    Apologia publishes great science materials. I highly recommend all of the texts! Before children I was a research scientist and now I teach middle school science classes in a co-op. I need to update my biology to the 2nd edition so please count me in on the drawing! Thanks for the opportunity.

  95. Molytail, January 20, 2009:

    This would be an awesome win – thanks for offering it up as a prize! I posted about the contest on my blog…

    http://tailsgonewest.blogspot.com/2009/01/apologia-biology-giveaway.html

  96. ConnieB, January 21, 2009:

    I would love to be entered to win the Apologia Biology set. My twins are using the Botany set and are almost done….we have loved it, but with my husband being laid off right now and the economy making it tough for him to find another job…well, no new curriculum for us this year. Science this coming year is going to be library books. So this would be a true blessing. And I gotta say, “What a creative way to clean your shelves!” Thank you!!!

  97. Jennifer Sikora, January 21, 2009:

    http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/sikoraaj/648232/

    I have been using Apologia this year and will be ready to use Biology next year. This would help out so much financially for us if I could win cause hubby has been out of work since way before Christmas so money is REALLY tight. I have posted about this giveaway on my blog. Thanks for doing this giveaway!

    I hope I win!!!

  98. Michele, January 21, 2009:

    Wow!!!What a fantastic thing to do.I am soooo in.I could really use this!!!

    Thanks,
    Michele

  99. Kymberly, January 21, 2009:

    I would also be interested in entering my name for the Apologia Biology. We’re getting close to that point & will need a good program! Thanks much!

  100. Lydia, January 21, 2009:

    We really enjoy Apologia courses. Have used several of the elementary level series, and have one child using the General Science course this year. I have learned or been reminded of so much right along with my kids…and I was a Biology and Chemistry minor. I am really looking forward to working through the Biology course with my kids. Thanks for hosting this give-away. I know it will be a blessing to whichever family receives it.

  101. Marcia, January 21,2009, January 21, 2009:

    Thank you so much for doing this. It is a great Science course.

  104. Kim, January 21, 2009:

    Please count me in as well! We are going to start homeschooling a high schooler in the fall – this would be great!

  117. Jacque, January 23, 2009:

    So, here is my second comment – which should have, I guess, been my first?? IDK. Time to eat, so forgive me!! Anyway…. we got a two for one deal on the Twitter anyway, b/c it is hooked up to my FB.
    off to increase my blood sugar level. :D

  118. Michelle, January 23, 2009:
