Class Description:

Exploring Creation With Biology is a college-prep biology course that provides a detailed introduction to the methods and concepts of general biology. Heavily emphasizing the vocabulary of biology, it provides the student with a strong background in the scientific method, the five-kingdom classification scheme, microscopy, biochemistry, cellular biology, molecular and Mendelian genetics, evolution, dissection, and ecosystems. It also provides a complete survey of the five kingdoms in Creation.

This will be an exciting and interesting science class. Students will participate in a variety of learning experiences including hands-on activities, note-taking, labs and a few projects. Students should plan to spend 4 hours per week in preparation for class.
