Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology

Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology

Finally, Apologia introduces an elementary-level anatomy book that gives glory to God as children discover what's going on inside their bodies! From the brain in your head to the nails on your toes, your students will encounter fascinating facts, engaging activities, intriguing experiments, and loads of fun. And they will learn about the human body and how to keep it working well.

Written with the help of pediatrician Brooke Ryan, M.D., Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology covers many subjects such as nutrition and health, as well as the body systems: skeletal, muscular, respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular, nervous, and more.

Your students will voyage through fourteen lessons, beginning with a brief history of medicine and a peek into cells and DNA. These lessons include the body systems, nutrition, how God designed their immune system to protect them, embryology, and what makes them a unique creation of God. As they work through the course, your students will add the organs they learned about to their own personalized human figure in their course notebook. 

And they will enjoy scientific experiments and projects. They will test the bacteria content around the house, find their blood type, create a cell model from Jello and candy, and even build a stethoscope! See our optional lab kit here.

About the Young Explorer Series:
When we decided to offer our customers a boxed curriculum, we knew that our eclectic approach to science needed a bit of fine-tuning, so we knew we needed Young Explorer, Jeannie Fulbright's elementary science program. Not only does this in-depth curriculum, with its gorgeous, full-color pictures and captivating, God-exalting text, sparkle in comparison to the mainstream, dry-bones science program, it utilizes what we believe is the most sensible method to teaching science, the immersion approach.

While other science programs, with their yearly superficial overviews, quickly become tedious as children encounter the repetitiveness of topic matters, the Young Explorer science immersion program will allow your family to enjoy the depth and riches that genuine science can give. Most home-taught children who enjoy science are being taught with a science immersion program.

Because this program utilizes a combination of the Charlotte Mason and classical methods, you can count on each Young Explorer book to acknowledge the evidence of Creation, have easy-to-follow lessons that are self-contained, include hands-on activities, and support National Standards of Science. Recommended for ages six through twelve, but written with a fourth-grader in mind, you may find that your older children will enjoy doing the coursework on their own, while younger, less confident readers will prefer parental involvement.

We encourage you to let your child choose the topic to study that captures your student’s interest. Your student can use the Young Explorer titles in any order since each book’s content stands alone. Because of the concept levels, the publisher suggests that Earth Science, Human Anatomy & Physiology, and Chemistry & Physics are better suited for upper elementary grades. However, younger students can certainly follow along and learn well if older siblings have progressed into these last three books. The Junior Notebooking Journals, for grades K-2, will allow them to absorb the concepts at their level.

If you would like a convenient, time-saving way to get nearly all of the materials you will need for the experiments, we now offer a lab kit! This lab kit is already assembled with virtually every non-household item the curriculum requires, so you won't have to go searching for elusive components.

Though not required, a student journal is available separately and is the perfect complement to this textbook.
