EXPLORING CREATION WITH

ANATOMY + PHYSIOLOGY

This year’s topic for Grade 5/6 is Anatomy and Physiology! This is a great course that covers subjects students will use the rest of their lives. From bones, to muscles, blood, digestion, development and much more, we are covering how and WHY our bodies work the way they do. It doesn’t matter if your child learns best through visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or reading and writing-there will be something for everyone in this course! Students will be exposed to American Sign Language (ASL) through ASL vocabulary of the week that relates to topics covered throughout the course.

We will use Apologia’s Exploring Creation series, which is a favorite science curriculum used by many homeschool families. It is built on a solid creationist foundation, always directs our attention to the amazing character of our Creator God, and incorporates a Charlotte Mason approach using the tools of narration and notebooking. Class will be quick paced with a wide variety of activities including lots of exciting labs and experiments, Bible knowledge, art and life skills. Science meets life in this class!

Students will be asked to read certain portions of the text at home during the week and optional homework will be assigned. Homework will not be required but strongly encouraged as it will help reinforce understanding of topics covered in class. No previous exposure to any Apologia’s text is necessary.
