Apologia Exploring Creation with Biology

Apologia's Exploring Creation with Biology 3rd Edition has been redesigned to better illustrate the beauty of life that surrounds us all! This edition also includes full-page infographics that help illuminate concepts from the text.

This college-prep biology course is designed to be the student's first high school science course, and provides students with a thorough understanding of the relevance of scientific inquiry. Textbook readings are backed by hands-on experiments that take students' book knowledge and bring it into real-world applications. After completing this course, students will be able to understand the vocabulary of biology and gain a strong understanding of the scientific method that will equip them to analyze data across other disciplines.

Modules cover atoms, chemical structures, ecosystems, biomes, ecological communities, cell structure and function, cellular energy, DNA, proteins, cell cycles, and genetics (including inheritance, disorders, and technology). Students will also learn about prokaryotes, viruses, protists, fungi, and the fascinating worlds of plants and animals.

716 pages, softcover. 3rd Edition.

For Grade 9. Can also be used in Grade 8 for advanced science students or Grade 10 if a student is not college-bound for the sciences.
