Curriculum Overview

In Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Biology, 3rd Edition, your student will gain an appreciation of God’s creativity and the world around them as they discover how the designs of the simplest living things point to the fingerprints of the Creator.  This biology course covers the science and chemistry of life, ecology, cell structure and function, cellular energy, DNA and, genetics, evolution, prokaryotes and viruses, protists and fungi, plant diversity and reproduction, plant structure and function, and the biology of various types of animals. 

Students will learn:

  • How to utilize the proper scientific method in a detailed and engaging way.
  • How to record data and report it.
  • How to read, create, and utilize several types of graphs (a skill that is found on SAT and ACT exams!). 

Lesson Plans and Materials

The Exploring Creation with Biology, 3rd Edition, Student Textbook is written in a conversational format with the author talking directly to your student. Your student is guided through key learning strategies like how to think critically about what they are learning, identifying important parts of the information presented, taking meaningful notes, and completing experiments. The student notebook complements the textbook by providing easy-to-understand graphics, space to record answers, and note-taking instructions designed to to help your student make a successful transition to high school science.

This course is designed to be done 5 days a week. A suggested daily schedule is found in the student notebook with clear daily assignments that include study days for test prep.

Hands-on Experiments

Throughout this course, your student will connect textbook instruction with hands-on experiments for maximum learning. The experiments your student will conduct come in three types: microscope labs, dissection labs, and household labs. Household labs utilize easy-to-obtain household equipment. The microscope labs, however, will require that your student has access to a microscope and several blank and prepared slides, while the dissection labs require an additional dissection kit with specimens

As the person overseeing your student’s education, you get to decide which assignments you expect your student to complete. However, we recommend that they complete them all as they are designed to add to the foundational knowledge that your student is gaining. The Student Notebook contains lab report forms for each experiment in the text, which will help your student master the process of writing a formal lab report.

As high school students are developing critical thinking skills, they benefit from the opportunity to explore an idea from multiple points of view. With this in mind, we’ve included callouts throughout the modules labeled “Creation Connection” and “Think About This”. These are conversational in nature and designed to help students see connections to a Designer and give students another way of thinking about the concept that they are studying.
