Course Description:
This advanced biology course covers in greater detail God’s “crown of creation,” the human body, and the anatomy and physiology of eleven of its organ systems. Over the course of a full year we will be covering such topics as the skeletal system, muscular system, nervous system, endocrine system, lymphatic system, digestive system, circulatory system, respiratory system, urinary system, and integument system (skin) from a creationistic perspective. At the end of the year the reproductive systems will be taught only with written permission from each parent.

Class time will include student generated questions and discussion sessions, and laboratory. Students will be expected to come to class with reading assignments and questions completed for the topic of discussion for that day.
Part of the lab work will include The Anatomy Coloring Book, and it is probably the most important portion of the laboratory material including detailed coloring of anatomic details.
