• Exploring Creation with Biology (Apologia 2nd edition)

Class Description:: Exploring Creation with Biology is designed to be the student’s first high school science course and 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, dissection, and ecosystems. It also provides a complete survey of the five kingdoms in Creation.

Students who take and understand this course will be very well-prepared for a tough university biology course.
