Overview<\/h5>\n

Exploring Creation with Marine Biology<\/a> is a high school level, college-prep, lab science (Biology is a prerequisite) yet it is also captivating to teens that are not majoring in science.\u00a0 The course covers a complex topic using a conversational style that is engaging for students.\u00a0 Parents will appreciate that it can be completely student-led.<\/p>\n

Apologia offers several \u2018add-on\u2019 components to the course, including a DVD, tests, and solutions, and a student notebook to complement the textbook.\u00a0 We used the text<\/a>, test booklet<\/a>, and the notebook<\/a>, which we found indispensable. It offers a daily schedule which was easy to follow and includes a chart for grades.\u00a0 There are pages for notes, definitions, study guide questions, an experiment and lab report section, and space for the ‘On Your Own’ questions found throughout the text.\u00a0 The test manual includes solutions for the study guides, a test and solutions for each module, and quarterly tests.<\/p>\n

The course contains 16 modules, intended to be completed in 34 weeks using the lesson plan schedule of 45 minutes per day, 5 days a week.\u00a0 One module with lab experiments and tests should be completed every 2 weeks.<\/p>\n

*Our daughter found this pace quite relaxed and often would complete 2 lessons in 1 day.\u00a0 After completing the study guide for a module, she would start the next module, while studying for the test of the previous module.\u00a0 She completed the course in approximately 28 weeks.<\/p>\n

The Pros and Cons<\/h5>\n

Pros included the easy-to-read delivery and the abundance of information on fascinating sea creatures. She also appreciated that while the focus of the course is on creationism, other viewpoints were presented as well for a balanced view of both sides.\u00a0 Cons were the large amount of time spent on microscopic creatures (not her personal favorite topic) and she found that often the study guide was not an accurate representation of the test questions.<\/p>\n

Final Thoughts<\/h5>\n

While not considering herself a science kind of kid, our daughter really dove into this course (water, get it?\u2026) We often heard her narrating fascinating tidbits at the dinner table, showing that she absorbed a lot of detailed information without the course being overly time-consuming.\u00a0 The ‘On Your Own’ questions were a great way to explore new knowledge on a deeper level, instead of just repeating learned facts and she liked that the author wrote for a high school audience in a way that was not overwhelming but was also not condescending.<\/p>\n

After going through all of the elementary Apologia science courses as well as several high school courses, we are excited to continue exploring creation!<\/p>\n
