The BJU Press Biology Homeschool Kit (6th Edition; Grade 10) course equips students to ethically engage in biological inquiry and to recognize life’s design, homeostasis, and conservation from a biblical worldview. Students will be able to discuss the process of homeostasis to biological structures at multiple levels, analyze living organisms, evaluate current and historical biological models, and apply a biblical framework to ethical issues in the realm of biology.
Each lesson begins with selected activities focusing on prior knowledge. Students will review content from previous lessons, demonstrations, and discussions. These lesson introductions are intended to help students integrate new lesson content with what they already know.
The Biology course lessons are designed with multiple forms of instruction. Content is presented via direct instruction and further fleshed out in open discussions and review. Additional videos and demonstrations also present new material from multiple angles to maximize student comprehension.
Numerous realistic scenarios will help students connect biological systems and processes with everyday events. Worldview investigations and ethics discussions will also help them see how a biblical worldview affects scientific evidence and determines which methods or procedures are appropriate. Ethics boxes in the student edition also explain complex, controversial issues in biology from a biblical perspective.
This course features numerous opportunities for evaluating comprehension and skill. Section reviews and chapter reviews offer frequent opportunities for examining lesson content. Formative assessment questions in the teacher edition measure comprehension.
