Summary: Excellent reproducible items
Review: I found this to be a very useful tool for teaching Biology. There are many puzzles and activities covering different Biology units, including genetics, physiology, and cell biology. Students enjoy the variety and the puzzles go along with most typical high school Biology textbooks.

Summary: Essential for teacher's personal library
Review: This book contains several ready to use worksheets. They are easy to adapt to a particular unit. I have especially appreciated this book when expecting a substitute teacher, because it contains activities to help reinforce prior teaching. The activities include complex as well as basic ideas. It has been a big help to me during my first year of teaching Biology.

Rating:
Summary: not great
Review: This book spent a lot of space on activities that I would never use (example: Anatomy awards). I found that many of the sponge activities were quite advanced for Biology 20. Generally I did not find much that was useful or helpful to me for teaching high school biology.
