Biology 101
Biblically-Sound Biology DVDs In the Christian home school realm, too often what appeals about a product is its religiosity, not its excellence. While you know that you cannot do an honest job of teaching biology unless you use a resource that is both scientifically-accurate and God-glorifying, many times a teaching parent may have to sacrifice one for the other.

First-place winner in 2004
Not so with Biology 101. The preview short From Genesis to Genes was the first-place winner in the Creation Category at the 2004 San Antonio Independent Christian Film Festival. Now this four-DVD version is available to teach your entire family high-school-level biology in a systematic way.

Scientifically accurate
Developed and hosted by homeschooling father, Multnomah Bible College graduate, and fifteen-year veteran filmmaker Wes Olson, Biology 101 approaches teaching biology by classifying all of life according to the days of creation. Individual segments include classification, plants, aquatic creatures, avian creatures, land animals, mankind, cells, and genetics. Upon its completion, it was submitted to the Institute of Creation Research, where it was intensely scrutinized and was found to be scientifically accurate. Nearly 4,500 hours were spent researching and developing Biology 101.

Hundreds of captivating visuals and graphics
It may be Biblically-sound and scientific, but is it appealing? Absolutely! In fact, we have never seen a more engaging approach to biology. Using eye-catching video footage supported by hundreds of captivating visuals and graphics, Wes does an excellent job of explaining even the most complex of topics. And if retention is important to you, you will especially appreciate Wes' effort to cement any new vocabulary through the use of word pictures.

Biology 101 is best for students who:
1. Would benefit from an overview before an intense biology study.
2. Struggle with textbooks but readily learn via discussions.
3. Are not college-bound but need the basics of biology.

Appropiate and engaging for the whole family!
With initiative, Biology 101 can also be used as a full-blown, accredited biology course. Towards that end, a printable PDF file with quizzes and discussion questions is included. While Biology 101 was designed specifically for ages fifteen and up, if you have younger children in your home you will be relieved to know that every word, graphic, and picture in Biology 101 is appropriate for the entire family. In fact, while this may be technically geared for high-school students, children as young as eight who love science and are bored with juvenile science courses will glean a massive amount of biology knowledge from this course and be further ahead for it.

The nine individual segments run from 30-45 minutes each:
  • Introduction: Defining Life and Life Classification
  • Plants
  • Aquatic (water) Creatures
  • Avian (flying) Creatures
  • Land Animals Part 1
  • Land Animals Part 2
  • Mankind Part 1
  • Mankind Part 2
  • Conclusion: Cells, Genetics, and a Brief History of Biology

    We love this!! March 17, 2009
    Reviewer: Caroline Jensen from Huntsville, AL United States  
    My kids are younger, 11 and under, but they all have loved this.  We will use this again  when they are older, but they have learned a great deal already.

    Great introduction to Biology February 19, 2009
    Reviewer: Carol Stack from Riverside, CA United States  
    My children and I have watched all of this DVD set except the last 2 sections. They have all enjoyed it (ages 8-16).

    The DVD keeps their attention, and gives lots and lots of great information that demonstrate how great our God is to have made such a diverse and marvelous creation.

    We highly recommend this DVD set if your children need to know some basics about the different kingdoms. I'm looking forward to watching the last segment, which is on genetics and cells.

    Informative, interesting, captivating... November 5, 2008
    Reviewer: Richard and Tracy W. from Cotulla, TX  
    The Biology 101 DVD is informative, interesting, captivating, and put together very well. Our 10 year old son learned much valuable information from this DVD. It matches up to the A-Beka 10th Grade Biology book perfectly.   We are very pleased with your History, Biblical Training, Science, and all other materials we have ordered from you. Thank you so much for the many wonderful and delightful educational resources you offer in your catalog. It is definitely one of our family's top picks for Christian growth-producing resources. Thank you for your ministry in this much needed area.  Sincerely, Rick, Tracy, and Ben

    An incredible set of DVD's!! November 5, 2008
    Reviewer: Krystal R. from Woodinville, WA  
    Biology 101 is an incredible set of DVD's that is a wonderful springboard for Biology studies.  This would be a great introductory course for the child who loves science as well as an excellent course for the non-science bound college student.  We used the DVD lessons as a springboard for an engaging unit study for high school biology and covered many more practical topics and topics of interest.  This is a great alternative for those not wanting to use a textbook for their biology studies.  Biology 101 also comes with a course outline to make it a complete course for high school.  We enjoy unit studies so we used that as a guide but built it into our own studies.
