We have had a blast with Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology from Apologia. This science curriculum, designed for grades K-6th is written by Jeannie Fulbright, Brooke Ryan, M.D. Without a question, this has been one of our favorites!
We were blessed to get a full family of products - which are sold individually, including:
Science is one of our favorite subjects, and there is no better way to study God, than by studying his marvelous creation. One of the best displays of his handiwork is our very own bodies!
Apologia has been our "go to" science curriculum for years, and for a good reason. Every course we have used (and I'm pretty sure we've done them all...K-12) has been done with excellence. Not only good science, but from a Christian worldview that builds your children's faith.
Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology text contains 14 lessons covering all the systems in our bodies: skeletal, muscular, digestive/renal, respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous/endocrine and entire lessons on both the blood and health and nutrition.
By covering one lesson every 2 weeks (giving you plenty of time for hands-on projects) you have an entire year of science study.
One of my favorite parts of this curriculum is how customizable it is to you and your families schedule.
It's filled with activities - you pick and choose what is most engaging, or what you have time for.
The text works great with the Notebooking Journals.
They come in two different levels. The Jr. Notebook is designed for your younger student (grades K-3rd) or for those with developing writing skills.. It contains fun activities like coloring pages, copywork practice and full color mini-books. There is plenty of space for your student to journal, work on vocabulary, and document their discoveries.
As I mentioned, this course is written from a Christian worldview. I love how science is what helps us understand God better! The best part of this curriculum is the hands-on projects and experiments.
Reading and listening about science can be fun, notebooking can help you understand better - but, nothing beats getting to DO science!
Here are some snapshots from a few favorites (because, who doesn't love science with candy?)
The Edible Cell - I can never see a Reeses and not think "nucleus" again!
This curriculum works so well with multiple ages and grades! I did it with my 2nd grader through my 7th grader. It's perfect for big families, or for doing in your co-ops.
The Blood Model - using a few items, we were able to get a great visual on the composition and consistency of our blood. Red hots will forever be "red blood cells" and corn syrup has been renamed "plasma" in our kitchen.
This is the BEST way to do science with your children! Read, listen, journal and explore. They will never forget it, and neither will you.
Be sure to check this one out!
