Curricula I've started and will complete at some point in the future:

Botany in 8 Lessons (for ages 8-13)

I am currently working on this curriculum and hope have it available for sale by October 2010.

I have posted the first chapter below. It covers the topic of photosynthesis and has two levels.  The second level is for students who are in grades 6-8, or for younger students who want more information.  Be aware that this is a pre-publication preview-- the final published version may vary slightly from this one.  For instance, I may add an extra activity or two, or add extra questions at the end of level 2.

CELLS AND MICROBIOLOGY
