Publisher's Description of Master's Class High School Biology Teacher Guide
The vital resource for grading all assignments from the Masters Class Biology course, which includes:
- Instruction in biology with labs that provide comprehensive lists for required materials, detailed procedures, and lab journaling pages.
- A strong Christian worldview that clearly reveals Gods wondrous creation of life and His sustaining power.
This is an introductory high school level course covering the basic concepts and applications of biology. This 36-week study of biology begins with an overview of chemistry while opening a deeper understanding of living things that God created. The course moves through the nature of cells, ecosystems, biomes, the genetic code, plant and animal taxonomies, and more. Designed by a university science professor, this course provides the solid foundation students will need if taking biology in college.
FEATURES: The calendar provides daily lessons with clear objectives, and the worksheets, quizzes, and tests are all based on the readings. Labs are included as an integral part of the course.
Category Description for Master's Biology
Strong enough to be college prep, this high school course takes an average of 5 hours a week. Everything you need (except lab supplies) can be found in the Student Text and Teacher Guide. Dr. Dennis Englin, the author of Master Books Chemistry , makes this Christian worldview Biology course understandable, yet comprehensive, beginning with the basics. Students will first learn about water, then carbohydrates and lipids, proteins and nucleic acids. Then building on this knowledge, students learn about cells, cell membranes and nucleus, movement through cell membranes, cell organelles, and cell division. After learning about the cellular and molecular level of life, students are now ready to go bigger with a wide variety of topics from ecosystems to human origins. With 28 total chapters, this is a one-year, one full credit high school course.
Student Text pages are visually appealing and not overcrowded. Colorful pictures, photos, and illustrations enhance the learning and hold interest. I love the logical course layout. Dr. Englin begins with an explanation of the chemical principles of biology. Understanding the basics of chemistry will help students better understand the foundation of living things, since all things are made of atoms. Every chapter begins by listing objectives. Chapters are divided into bite-size chunks of information with vocabulary words highlighted. Bible verses are also found throughout the text, using the NKJV. Chapters include labs with lists of required materials, explanation, and step-by-step procedures There are microscope and dissection labs. Lab materials may not be readily available but can be ordered from a science supplier. The Lab materials list is found in the Teacher Guide, but you can also call us and we can send the list to you before purchasing the course.
