Apologia introduces an elementary level Anatomy book that gives glory to God as children discover what's going on inside their bodies! Take this in-depth journey into the anatomy and physiology of your body through Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology by Jeannie Fulbright and pediatrician Brooke Ryan, M.D. From the brain in your head to the nails on your toes, you and your students will encounter fascinating facts, engaging activities, intriguing experiments, and loads of fun as you learn about the human body and how to keep it working well. Beginning with a brief history of medicine and a peek into cells and DNA, your students will voyage through fourteen lessons covering many subjects, such as the body systems: skeletal, muscular, respiratory, digestive, cardiovascular, nervous and more! They'll study nutrition and health, how God designed their immune system to protect them, along with embryology and what makes them a unique creation of God. As they work their way through the course, your students will enjoy adding the organs about which they learn to their own personalized human figure to be placed in their course notebook. In addition to all this exploration, your students will enjoy scientific experiments and projects, such as testing the bacteria content around the house, finding their blood type, creating a cell model from Jello and candy, and even building a stethoscope! In keeping with the other books in the Apologia elementary science Young Explorer Series, the Charlotte Mason methodology is employed with engaging narratives, narration prompts and notebooking projects, all of which reinforce their learning using proven techniques that strengthen retention. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

Great A & P Book for Elementary Ages!Sep 01, 2010
By Mel Highly recommended for homeschooling! Started using this book to school my 5th grader at home. After researching many books, this one offered the most interesting, thorough and versatile coverage for teaching the functions of the human body. Because of my career in nursing, I wanted an interesting curriculum for this subject matter. I am well pleased with the written material and the pictures included in this book. Great science book!

Great Science CurriculumMar 30, 2011
By cutiex4 I homeschool 4 children and this program is great! It engages the students and has lots of experiments throughout the lessons to help them apply what they have learned. It also doesn't hesitate to point out God's role in it all, including Bible verses. I absolutely love this program. This book is the main textbook.

Apologia Exploring Creation with Human AnatomyAug 26, 2011
By bbreit We have used Apologia Science textbooks forever. I decided to try the Human Anatomy Book. I overheard my 16 year old son talking to my 8 year old son...they were discussing Anatomy. My 16 year old had been reading it to his brother (on their own!). To me, that is the best recommendation. We love it!

Incredible Science ResourceNov 05, 2011
By book lover

We love this book. I am using it with my 5 children ranging in ages 8-11 (with a 3 year old along for the ride). Reasons I love it:
1. Captivating- The lessons are communicated in a way that is interesting enough to keep attention and aid in memory retention-thorough education (and more) of anatomy and physiology without being dry. 2. Activities- simple and easy to throw together at the last minute. I usually just look over what I plan on covering for the next 2 weeks to make sure I have supplies and do last minute prep right before teaching. 3. I am able to easily make this work for our variety of age ranges/styles- They all have the notebooks that accompany this book and it took me a while to figure this out- but I just assign something simple for each of them to do before/after or during the reading. 4. Christian apologetic perspective. I hear a lot of arguments against Christianity. It's so nice to have an intelligent fun curriculum that helps the children defend their faith. I debated in college. This stuff rocks.
Highly recommend- what I would change/add? Something that is not necessary but has been helpful is for me to read through the part we will be reading for the day and to have some kind of simple introductory activity or question or thought to get us started- it seems to help in making the lessons seem more complete. Also, There is not a lot of instruction for the accompanying notebooks for the children to write in/complete. But, it's flexibility in what you can do with it is helpful as well. The notebook has a lot of great activities.

Excellent Science CurricOct 20, 2011

"lovesbostonterriers"
This is a great Science curric. The projects in each chapter are fun and the reading is very interesting. My 5th and 6th grader really enjoy this book. We have the other elementary Science books as well and they have all been enjoyable. We downloaded the lap book pages on Apologia's website, it has added an extra dimension of fun to our Science.
