Description
Exploring Creation with Advanced Biology, 2nd Edition will provide students with an advanced understanding of biology while also preparing them for college-level biology and the ACT.
Curriculum Overview
Students will learn about the body’s organs, digestive, respiratory, endocrine, and lymphatic systems. The course also details the reproductive system, but it is done with respectful illustrations and descriptions. Students will be intellectually challenged and supported as they work through science concepts and thought-provoking (and fun!) experiments. Guided through a personalized format, they methodically learn, self-check, and master difficult concepts before moving on.
Topics covered include:
- Foundational Anatomy and Physiology Concepts
- Histology (the study of tissues)
- Integumentary and Skeletal systems
- Skeletal Systems Histology and Movement
- Muscular System Histology and Physiology
- Skeletal Muscle System
- Nervous System
- Central Nervous System
- Peripheral Nervous System
- Endocrine System
- Cardiovascular System
- Lymphatic System
- Digestive System
- Respiratory System
- Urinary System
- Reproductive System
Textbook
The Advanced Biology textbook is written in a conversational format, with the author talking directly to your student. We guide them through key learning strategies, such as thinking critically about what they are learning, identifying important parts of the information presented, taking meaningful notes, and completing experiments.
Testing
There are two testing options for this course. You can choose AutoGrade+, our auto-graded online testing, or the traditional Solutions Manual and Tests containing answers to study guide questions, test solutions, and a set of student test pages. An extra set of test pages is also available as an add-on.
Student Notebook
The student notebook for Exploring Creation with Advanced Biology, 2nd Edition, is highly recommended. It is designed to help students foster the independence, organization, and preparation they need to thrive academically.
Notetaking helps students retain information, review for tests, and record their thoughts as they connect the concepts presented in the textbook with their own ideas. Taking good notes can bridge the gap to mastering a concept with the following advantages:
- Students stay focused on what they are reading.
- Students pay closer attention, which increases their retention.
- Students have notes in their own words to review for tests.
- Students learn to connect new information to what they already know.
Additionally, the student notebook helps students keep a carefully organized, detailed, and complete lab notebook. Students can use the included lab report forms to record the information gathered during experiments and master writing a formal lab report.
The student notebook contains:
- Note-taking pages
- Instruction in the Cornell note-taking system
- Space to answer all study questions found in the textbook
- Lab report forms for each experiment in the text
Video Lessons and Experiments
In the streaming video lesson rental for Exploring Creation with Advanced Biology, Sherri Seligson provides instruction on each module of the textbook, using visual animations and on-location video clips. Additionally, the videos include experiments, labs, and activities so parents and students can better understand how to complete the experiments and activities at home.
These engaging video lessons help students absorb the concepts in a richer and more engaging way, and visual animations help explain more difficult concepts in a three-dimensional, interactive way.
These streaming videos are a 15-month rental and are accessed through your Apologia account.
