Exploring Creation with Biology Full-Course CD-ROM is not a supplement, but a full, high-school college prep science course. Appearing just like a website, it runs in Internet Explorer, and easy navigation allows you to jump to any module and section of the course. Animations, videos, word pronunciation and other multimedia features are included that would not be available with the regular text. Just like the book course, household-item experiments, tests, and study guides are included in each module. A separate, included CD contains the answers for the course. The latter materials may be printed out for easy grading.

I really liked the CD format. There are a lot of advantages. It is like using the web and you can print and click on stuff and there a short videos. I was, however, disapointed in the content. I did not think this was geared to a High School Curriculum. I thought it was written for someone in the 5th grade. Who in High School doesn't know what a herbivore is? My 15 year old son felt that it was written in a somewhat condesending way. I was happy to have a non evolution based curriculum but the creationism was a bit over the top.

This was a great way to purchase a normally very expensive curricula. I wish the answers to study guides questions, reviews and tests were on the same disk rather than a separate one. It is an excellent buy for the cost.

We have used other Apologia Sciences for years but this is the first year to use it on the computer. I love the way I can print out what I desire and the ease of using all the curriculum. We love the Apologia materials because of the Christian influence.

This is an excellent product. A Christian worldview permeates every module, and brings glory and honor to our Magnificent Creator.
The easy to use computer format eliminates bulky, and awkward workbooks, but still allows tests, or diagrams to be printed as needed.
The pictures and video are great and really help explain the subject matter, not just add fluff. And the study guides are perfect for reviewing each module and help students prepare for the tests.
This is one of the best homeschool products I have ever purchased. I highly recommend it.
