We will be using Exploring Creation through Biology Second Edition by Dr. Jay L. Wile. This is a college preparatory high school biology course that provides a general survey of the five kingdoms. It covers the following topics: classification, the definition of life, features of the organisms in each kingdom, an introduction to biochemistry, cell structure and function, cellular reproduction, DNA, protein synthesis, cellular respiration, and genetics.

Parents and students will enjoy this text written in a conversational style that makes science concepts easy to understand and fun to discuss.  In class, students will participate in lively discussions of the information presented in the module, and learn to make application to the science they read about in current events. 

Emphasis will be on experimentation and observation while students perform the enumerated labs which include a variety of experiments and dissections and use of a microscope. 

Lab reports and current event reporting are important routine homework assignments in addition to the assignments required in each module of the text.
