Apologia Exploring Creation with…. series by Dr. Jay Wile
Solid science from a Christian perspective! All of the science courses offered by Apologia, whether for elementary, middle or high school, are top-notch. Older students will find themselves well-prepared for college level courses - both with scientific knowledge and a thorough understanding of science from a Creation Science point of view, which will enable them to stand firm when confronted with humanistic/evolutionary teaching.
Apologia has provided several ways for you to get the most out of their materials.
· First, and most popular, is their textbook sets that include a student text and a separate solution manual and text book
.
· Second, they offer each course COMPLETE on a CD-ROM. The CD-ROM versions of these courses contain everything that is in the textbook courses plus multimedia add-ons like word pronunciations, videos, and animations. Please note that this CD does not read the course to the student. It is the book on CD, formatted as a website. This is GREAT for visual learners! Students answer the 'on your own' questions as they read through the CD. The Module Reviews, Tests, and Answers are on a separate CD (included in the package) for the parent and they are printable, so you can have a "hard copy" of the study guides and tests. These are complete courses, not just supplements!
· Third, there is a Companion CD for each course, which provides all of the multimedia components found on the full course CD, but DOES NOT contain the text. This CD is a supplement to the textbook, not a replacement.
Apologia science is user friendly, written to the student, academically excellent AND Christ-centered! The textbooks provide several ways for students to contact the author - now that's what I call service! Please note that a microscope and lab supplies are required for the High School level Apologia courses. The publisher, along with other homeschool supply companies offer kits that correspond to these courses.
All Apologia titles are the most recent editions!

 Exploring Creation with General Science
This course is designed to be a student's first systematic introduction to the sciences. Although it can be used for eighth grade (especially if the student has recently left the public schools), it is typically used best in the seventh grade. The course covers such topics as the scientific method, designing experiments, simple machines, archaeology, geology, paleontology, biology, and human anatomy and physiology. Its scope, therefore, is quite wide. There are many hands-on experiments to do, and they all use household items. Regular testing ensures mastery and and is an important part of this program.

 NEW - 2nd Edition!
Exploring Creation with Physical Science
This course is designed to be the last science course the student takes before high school biology. Thus, we generally recommend it as an 8th grade course. However, if your student was recently in public school, he or she might need to wait until 9th grade to use it. The course discusses such topics as the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, weather, the structure of the earth, environmentalism, the physics of motion, Newton's Laws, gravity, and astrophysics. The author especially concentrates on the myths generated by the hysterical environmentalist movement. There are many hands-on experiments to do, and they all use household chemicals and supplies. It is an excellent course for preparing the student to take a college-prep high school science curriculum.

 Exploring Creation with Biology, 2nd Edition
This course is designed to be the student's first high school science course. Typically, we recommend that the student take this course during the same year that he or she is taking Algebra 1. Exploring Creation With Biology is a college-prep biology course that provides a detailed introduction to the methods and concepts of general biology. Heavily emphasizing the vocabulary of biology, it provides the student with a strong background in the scientific method, the five-kingdom classification scheme, microscopy, biochemistry, cellular biology, molecular and Mendelian genetics, evolution, dissection, and ecosystems. It also provides a complete survey of the five kingdoms in Creation. Please note that this course does not contain a discussion of human anatomy and physiology. This course is rigorous and more than sufficient for students who will NOT be pursuing a career in a field that requires knowledge of Life Science. For those students aspiring for careers in Life Science field and/or for a thorough study of human anatomy and physiology, see Apologia's advanced biology course below.

 Exploring Creation with Chemistry, 2nd Edition
In order to be able to understand this text, the student needs to have completed algebra I. This course is designed to be a first-year high school chemistry course and gives the student a rigorous foundation in chemistry, in order to prepare him or her for a college-level course. The course covers significant figures, units, classification, the mole concept, stoichiometry, thermochemistry, thermodynamics, kinetics, acids and bases, redox reactions, solutions, atomic structure, Lewis structures, molecular geometry, the gas laws, and equilibrium. Students who take and understand this course will be very well-prepared for a tough university chemistry course.

Exploring Creation with Physics, 2nd Edition
This college-prep physics course is designed for the student who has completed algebra and has had an introduction to the definitions of sine, cosine, and tangent. Heavily emphasizing vector analysis, this text is ideal preparation for a university-level physics course. It provides the student with a strong background in one-dimensional and two-dimensional motion, Newton's laws and their application, gravity, work and energy, momentum, periodic motion, waves, optics, electrostatics, electrodynamics, electrical circuits, and magnetism.

 Advanced Biology - The Human Body, Fearfully and Wonderfully Made
Apologia Science
Combined with Exploring Creation With Biology , this text gives the student the equivalent of a university biology course. In other words, these two courses together cover the entire "advanced placement" (AP) curriculum. In order to take this course, the student MUST have completed a first-year biology course AND a first-year chemistry course. It covers both the anatomy and the physiology of the human body's 11 organ systems in detail. Note: The Anatomy Coloring book (listed below) is required for this course.
