Right now I am still muddling my way through Prentice Hall Biology with my 9th grader.

If I decided to bail at this point and switch to Holt Biology, what resources should I get? I'd get the student edition and the teacher edition, but what else?

Also, if I used Holt for chemistry next year, what should I get? I have thought about using Keystone (which uses Holt) next year, but I'm not sure I can justify for myself the additional cost of their service.

Doesn't anybody use Holt for biology or chemistry?

We used Holt Visualizing Life - HATED IT!
We are using Singapore Biology Matters and castle heights Biology. Also supplimenting with Self Teaching Guide Biology and the SAT II prep book.

My daughter used Holt Biology but had a teacher that supplemented. They used an online version which works out much better than I expected!

We did Holt Biology with TE edition and online edition. Getting the online edition gives you nontext book resources.

I thought it was fine. Don't know how it compares with Visualizing Life or Modern Biology also sold by Holt.
