If you already have the dissection tools you need, this set just includes the individual specimens: an earthworm, a frog, a perch, and a crayfish. Specimens are nice and large, and are preserved with NASCO-Guard®. Please note that all specimens are enclosed in a plastic bag within a zip-close bag, and will ship with a separate packet of care and safety instructions. All specimens are packaged in one bag, so when bag is opened, you will need to reseal it in the reclosable bag to keep the other specimens from gradually drying out. Brief or minimal exposure to air will not harm the specimens. Refrigeration is not required.
Teaching a high school biology course at home can be challenging. Apologia's Exploring Creation with Biology offers Christian homeschool families a college preparatory science course with a comprehensive lab experience to meet high school requirements.

Viewing God as the Master Designer of life, this course offers a thorough explanation of the scientific method, tools, limitations of science, and an evaluates the theory of evolution through a Biblical worldview. Topically, students will study the science and chemistry of life, ecology, genetics, bacteria, viruses, protists, fungi, plants, and animals. There are 16 modules, each taking approximately 2 weeks (1 hour per day/5 days per week.), exams follow each module and quarterly exams are also included. Three types of lab exercises are included: Household, microscopic, and dissections. Required lab equipment includes a 400x microscope, concave and flat slides, prepared slide set sold separately, dissection tools and specimens. Lab Kits are available. The publisher recommends all three types of lab exercises for a science lab credit.
