About Our Virtual Textbooks

Collectively, the hyperlinks presented in each of our virtual high school science textbooks provide an alternate to a traditional high school science textbooks. General disclaimer: Web pages change without notice. Links were compiled summer of 2018 and may no longer be valid. Users of these links are advised to additionally and separately search key words within the topic using a trusted web-search engine.

Also note: Reading text online is NOT identical as a learning method to paper-based reading from a textbook. Generally, paper-based text is a slightly superior learning tool. In particular, Mangen et. al. say that this is because paper gives “spatio-temporal markers while you read.” Touching paper and turning pages aids the memory, making it easier to remember where you read something. Having to scroll on the computer screen makes remembering more difficult.

More ideally, these linked web pages provide for an additional resource to supplement student reading from a traditional high school science textbook. The links offer an excellent resource for student-independent research to more fully grasp each topic. Explore each of our virtual textbooks at these pages:
