Biology Matters text and workbook are ideal for both classroom and home use for 9th - 10th grades.  We do not recommend the practicals for home use due to safety issues and the expense and difficulty in obtaining some of the materials.  Some of the experiments can be done at home.  Pages in the Biology Matters Practical Book are perporated for easy removal.
