The Wonders of the Human Body Series is an exploration of the awe-inspiring creation that is the human body. Nothing else in the universe is quite like it! Your body is delicate yet powerful, incredibly complex but at times amazingly simple. We will explore the structure, function, and regulation of the body in detail. In Volume One you will discover:

The Musculoskeletal System. The first unit opens with the building blocks of your body—the cells. Your body is built from many kinds of cells and tissues, and you will learn how they work. Even the bones and muscles that give you strength and speed depend on many types of cells.

The Cardiovascular & Respiratory Systems. The second unit covers the incredible design of the human heart, including how blood moves through an incredible network of arteries and veins and how the respiratory system allows us to get the “bad air out “ and the “good air in!”

The Nervous System. The third unit teaches you about how nerve signals are generated throughout the body, the structure of the brain and how it processes input from the body, our senses of sight, hearing, and taste, and more!

The vital resource for grading all assignments from the Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology 1 course, which includes:

• Instruction on the cardiovascular, respiratory, musculoskeletal, and nervous systems, from the level of the cell to the organs themselves, and God’s masterful wisdom in His creation.
• Assessments including worksheets, quizzes, and tests are given at regular intervals with space to record each grade.

OVERVIEW: In this dynamic Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology 1 course, students will not only begin to grasp the intricate workings of their bodies, but learn also of the wonders of the human body, designed by our Creator and loving Father. Nothing else in the universe is quite like it. The body is delicate yet powerful — incredibly complex but at times amazingly simple. Students will explore the structure, function, and regulation of the body in detail.

Throughout the study, students will learn things to do to keep the body healthy, though in a fallen, cursed world, things are bound to go wrong. The human body is built from many kinds of cells and tissues, and students will learn how they work. We will look at what happens when disease or injury affects bones and muscles. Although the world insists that our bodies are merely the result of time and chance, as students examine the human body closely, they will see that it cannot be an accident. It can only be the product of a Master Designer.

FEATURES: The calendar provides 5 lessons weekly with clear objectives, and the worksheets, quizzes, and tests are all based on the readings from the two books.

Unlike a traditional guide that focuses specifically on one book or level, this teaching companion is supplemental for any level of the program. Teachers will find this an invaluable resource, not only for using the Writing Strands curriculum but also for teaching any course that includes writing and literature as a component. The Teaching Companion provides a helpful overview of the Writing Strands system, as well as additional information on a range of writing, grammar, and literature issues that a teacher may face.

• Includes general guidelines on how to approach drafting papers with students and how to give effective writing feedback
• Provides discussion of the most common difficulties that students encounter, as well as tips on how to help students overcome these challenges
• Discusses how to encourage a lifelong love of reading in students, including suggestions on how to ask good questions when discussing books
• Offers suggested goals and objectives for teaching literature, broken down by age
• Explains the various elements of fiction and differences in literary genres, and includes appendices with information on basic citation, advice on teaching vocabulary, commonly confused words, and glossaries of grammar and literary terms.

Special attention is also given to the needs of developing readers, with additional supplemental information on teaching techniques for young readers and tips for helping them understand the meaning of what they read and develop critical thinking skills. We highly recommend that teachers read the Teaching Companion before their students start the course and that they continue to consult it as needed as students learn additional concepts.
