Biology: God's Living Creation Student Textbook
The student textbook provides textual readings, feature articles, and the section and chapter reviews. Space to record answers is not included, so students will need a separate notebook. The text is well illustrated, with graphics and colorful photographs throughout the text to aid student understanding. A nice feature is the Trans-Vision Plates™, which provides a unique look at the inside of the human body through transparent overlays. Also includes a glossary of biology terms and medical prefixes.
Truly non-evolutionary in philosophy, spirit, and sequence of study, this 544-page text begins with the familiar, tangible things of nature and concludes with God's amazing design at the cellular and chemical level. Abstract concepts are tied to concrete examples through clear, easy-to-read explanations, laying a firm foundation for future studies in chemistry, physics, and other fields. Along with academic knowledge, your teen will gain a greater appreciation for God's physical creation and an increased interest in science. Key concepts listed at the head of each chapter, pronunciation helps, bold key terms, vivid photographs, full-color diagrams, section reviews, and chapter reviews aid learning and enjoyment. The text will lead your teen through a study of botany, zoology, microbiology, human anatomy and physiology, cytology, genetics, and ecology that reflect the latest advances in man's understanding of living things without neglecting a foundation in the basics.
Instilling an academically solid, God-centered understanding of all branches of science from the early elementary years through high school is the mission of this traditional curriculum. Uniquely, Abeka focuses on mastery of the sciences from a young age through two pathways. First, the science curriculum follows a spiral approach to learning, which means students review previously learned concepts each year, expanding on known concepts and learning new material. The second path, if you chose to use Abeka curriculum in other subjects, is the integration of the grade level scope and sequence, which takes the material taught in science and reinforces it in other subjects like language arts and reading comprehension. While this approach is helpful for mastery, it is not necessary to use other Abeka courses to gain a thorough understanding of the sciences. Scripture references are KJV.
Following a traditional philosophy of education, the basic components include a student text and a teacher edition and/or answer key. Student textbooks are full color and written at a level that each learner can read and understand. Teacher edition content will vary depending on the grade. At all grade levels, Abeka science is teacher led and not designed for independent student work, although at the higher levels, students may be able to do some reading and related activities independently. The K-2 teacher guides include all the information needed to teach science successfully from the scope and sequence and lesson plans with teaching notes, to the activity suggestions and answers (except kindergarten). Beginning in Grade 3 through the high school courses, teacher resources have been divided into separate categories. While this may seem overwhelming, targeted teacher resources help parents and teachers find what they need quickly. Additional supplemental resources may be available. Student and teacher books are not reproducible. See individual descriptions for more information. ~Deanne
