  "Created by a highly prolific health and science writer, editor, and textbook and curriculum specialist (already a regular contributor to CK-12's growing science library), our interactive biology textbook shows biology in action and takes students through a journey from the teeny tiniest unicellular organisms to GIANT superorganismal communities, from genes to population mechanics, invertebrates and vertebrates all find a home here.  Our text covers all the major topics of a high school biology course including cell biology, evolution, ecology, plant and animal physiology, and more."

  "This app helps students find and learn K-12 content in an easy and intuitive manner. Students can now learn at their own pace and in their own way (Video, Interactive Objects, Read, etc.). Teachers can use this app to help keep their kids engaged in the classroom and find supplemental material for their class.
  The new experience re-imagines CK-12's huge library of Free K-12 Science and Math content (free digital textbooks and concepts) for the iPad. This app helps open up never before accessible avenues for teaching through new types of media and the opportunity for students to learn in all different kinds of modalities (through videos, text, images, assessment, lesson plans etc)."
