Description
Apologia’s Live Biology class is a lab-based, college-preparatory biology course. It provides a detailed introduction to general biology methods and concepts and includes various in-depth experiments, including dissections.
Throughout the course, students will gain a strong background in the scientific method, microscopy, biochemistry, ecology, cellular biology, molecular and Mendelian genetics, evolution as compared to intelligent design, and the classification of kingdoms in creation, all with a heavy emphasis on biological vocabulary.
And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good….And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. – Genesis 1:11-12, 24-25

Loisann Fowler
I fell in love with science during my first Biology class, and after studying Anatomy & Physiology in high school, my eyes were opened to understand there is a Creator behind all the majesty, beauty, and order. Therefore, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Auburn University and enjoyed physical therapy work with spinal injury patients after graduation. After being promoted to the profession of motherhood, I used Apologia Science with my children and others at home and in co-ops, and this will be my twelfth year with Apologia’s Live Classes.
