Biology

The study of life — from "is it alive?" to the molecular machinery of the gene. This course spans the full learning ladder, from kindergarten to college: living things, senses, plants and animals, cells, energy, inheritance, molecular biology, immunology, neuroscience, evolution, the human body, and ecosystems. Rigorous, correct, and built for the genius in every learner, at every age.

Twenty chapters, from kindergarten to college.

Each builds on the last across five stages — Kindergarten, Primary, Middle School, High School and College. Every chapter carries four layers — Theory, Explanation, a hands-on Practical, and a Q&A to test yourself. Jump in anywhere, but the sequence is the intended path from kindergarten to college.

Stage 1 · Kindergarten
01Living or Not Alive?The five signs of being alive, and how to spot them. 02My Body & My SensesBody parts and the five senses that explore the world.
Stage 2 · Primary

Stage 1 of 5

KINDERGARTEN — first playful steps into biology

Big, simple ideas for a curious 4–6 year old: what makes something alive, and the amazing body and senses you use to explore the world.

In a nutshell

Living things breathe, eat, grow, move and make babies — non-living things need something else to do all that for them.

Stage 2 of 5

PRIMARY — animals, plants and how they live

Hands-on science for a 7–10 year old: grouping living things, their basic needs, and the life cycles, food chains and habitats that connect them.

In a nutshell

Animals and plants can be sorted into groups, and every living thing needs air, water, food, light and space to survive and grow.

Stage 3 of 5

MIDDLE SCHOOL — the machinery beneath living things

From atoms to cells to membranes: the foundations of biological chemistry and cell biology, built for an 11–13-year-old ready to go deeper.

In a nutshell

Living things are built from atoms and cells, and every cell — bacteria or human — runs on the same basic chemistry, membranes and enzymes.

Stage 4 of 5

HIGH SCHOOL — building the real machinery of life

Photosynthesis, cell division, genetics, molecular biology, evolution, physiology and ecology — the core high-school and early-university biology curriculum, in full rigour.

In a nutshell

Cells divide, pass on genes, and turn sunlight and food into energy — the machinery that builds bodies and drives evolution.

Stage 5 of 5

COLLEGE — university-level depth

Real mechanism and rigour: the molecular machinery of the gene, the immune system's defence logic, the electrical life of neurons, and the mathematics of ecosystems.

In a nutshell

At university level, biology becomes mechanism: the exact enzymes, immune cells and neurons that carry out what earlier chapters described in outline.
