[This was from a year (or so!) ago... just now posting]
My youngest is doing a speedy study of R.E.A.L. Science - Life (level 1). It's young for her but we'll be supplementing heavily and I just absolutely love this curriculum to fill in classification gaps before going into high school science [which she'll be starting in the Fall - ACK!]. I wish we had a level 2 but, oh well, we'll make it work :).
COLORING PAGES
Here are some free online coloring pages in a random order (or it'll never be uploaded!). They recommend Color Anatomy by Christine Becker. We don't have that book and we would probably want more detail anyway so I started scouting around online.
Variety of Biology coloring pages:

Biology Cell Models
What's Schoolin'?
[Note: This is an unfinished draft but I'm posting it now because it looks like it will never be polished/posted if I wait! I've moved on from teaching Biology classes and youngest Dd is using DIVE Biology along with an outside lab this year. I'll be pulling in resources from these posts - which is what made me look for them and discover that many of the drafts were never posted! Hopefully these will be helpful to others... ]
We just finished Module 2 and are in the middle of Module 3 of Apologia's Biology (2nd Ed). During Module 2 I brought Play-Doh to class and had my students (yes, 9th graders!) make a 2-D cell model using Play-Doh. For Module 3 I had them make an Amoeba model using colored paper. Here is my example that I made as I explained it. A few students wanted to make a Paramecium instead.

I am teaching Biology at a local homeschool enrichment program this year. Ironically, I never intended to teach Biology to my own homeschoolers and my oldest children did it in a co-op. Even more ironically, one is currently a Biology major in college :) [update: she graduated!]. Anyway, this post will be a place where I will post online support resources for my general Biology class. We are using Apologia Biology 2nd Edition.
These schedules have been especially helpful in planning:
https://corefoundations.wordpress.com/scheds-math-science/
Donna Young Biology links (I still need to go through and see what I need):
http://www.donnayoung.org/apologia/biology1.htm
Great blog with ideas and links for each module:
http://mindfulramblings.com/apologia-biology/
Quizlet has flash cards and quizzes for each module. I find it easier to just google "apologia (the module) flash cards" than to search within quizlet.
Dissected Perch Cake, yes, really! Needs rice crispy treats and fondant.

And now for Module 9...
For this module I plan to show The Mysterious Island video across 2 class periods and just have them write a reflexive essay due the second class day. The end.
Here is a link to the full Vision Forum movie of The Mysterious Island. I have it as a DVD also.

This link has a few videos but I honestly have not watched them yet...
