Apologia Exploring Creation with Marine Biology

Save During Our Apologia Exploring Creation with Science Curriculum Sale!

For Exploring Creation with Marine Biology, it is recommended that students first complete a first-year biology course, preferably Exploring Creation With Biology.

The Marine Biology course concentrates on marine wildlife and marine habitats. It provides a survey of members of each biological kingdom that live in marine environments. The student will learn about the microscopic organisms that make life in the ocean possible, including details about their interesting habits and life cycles. The student will also learn about the anatomy of many macroscopic marine creatures such as clams, starfish, and sharks. The student will then learn how these creatures and their physical surroundings form marine ecosystems such as intertidal zones, estuaries, coral reefs, continental shelf communities, epipelagic communities, and deep-ocean communities. The course ends with a study of marine resources and our relationship with the sea."

Exploring Creation With Marine Biology contains three types of laboratory exercises for the student to perform:

Household labs - Only household equipment is used. These labs should be done by all students.

Microscope labs - Require a microscope + slide set. These labs are optional.

Dissection labs - Require a dissection kit. These labs are optional.

The microscope and dissection labs are not required, but they will be beneficial to the student (especially if he or she is science-oriented,) They are not absolutely necessary.
