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.
