In order to take this course, students must have completed a
first-year biology course, preferably
Exploring Creation With
Biology. This 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.
This course
contains many experiments, some of which require microscope
equipment, while others require dissection equipment. (See
below) Written by a home schooler and marine biologists,
Sherri Seligson has written this in the same friendly format as all
other Apologia texts and has been field-tested on over 100 students
in the central Florida area.
The first
book, hardbound, is the student text, which contains all student
material, on-your-own questions and solutions, laboratory
exercises, and chapter study guides. Color illustrations and
diagrams. The second book, softbound, is the solutions and tests
manual, which contains answers to chapter study guides, tests, and
test solutions. Both are contained within this set purchase.
