Biology

Course Description:

The Biology (4th ed.) Student Text takes the student on a quest to

understand God's living world, from the microscopic world of the

cells to the macroscopic world of plants, animals, and the human

body. Clear scientific images help them picture the cell's workings,

and galleries of photos in every chapter give them a sense of the

classification of life. Case studies, web quests, lab activities, and

questions help students think like scientists and understand that

biology makes sense from a biblical perspective.

Each student will do a Science Fair project as well this year.

Course objectives:

The goal of biology is to teach scientific content and method and the

biblical principles necessary to interpret and apply this knowledge in

a God-honoring way. Students will learn cell biology, genetics, the

history of life, taxonomy, microbiology, botany, zoology, ecology,

and human anatomy and physiology.
