Welcome to Our Red Wagon Biology for High School Course

Getting Started with Red Wagon Biology for High School Homeschool Course

This biology course is taught through online pre-recorded videos. Text instructions along with additional videos, experiments, and online reading are included in order to provide students with the knowledge that science was created by God. This is done through a study of the various kingdoms including Monera, Fungi, and Plantae; cellular respiration, ecology, and genetics. A discussion of evolution and its implausibility is provided.
