Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology
Few subjects are more fascinating to children than their own bodies. Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy & Physiology is a Christian anatomy curriculum that helps your child discover how the human body works while developing a deeper appreciation for God's design.
Designed for elementary students, this hands-on course guides your child through 14 lessons covering the skeletal, muscular, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, nervous, endocrine, and other major body systems. Conversational text, vibrant illustrations, Scripture, and practical activities work together to make complex concepts understandable and memorable.
Rather than simply reading about anatomy, your child will build models, conduct experiments, and complete projects that reinforce key concepts. Activities include creating lung models, building edible cells, and exploring how various body systems function together.
One of the course's most distinctive features is the Personal Person project. Throughout the year, your child assembles a life-sized human figure, gradually adding organs, bones, muscles, and body systems as they are studied. By the end of the course, your child has created a visual representation of the human body that ties together everything he has learned.
The optional spiral-bound Notebooking Journal helps organize the learning experience with a built-in schedule, narration prompts, vocabulary activities, notebooking pages, copywork, mini-books, review exercises, and space to record observations and experiments. The structured format makes it easy to stay on track without requiring a separate teacher guide.
As your child studies the human body, he will develop observation skills, scientific understanding, and a greater appreciation for the complexity and purpose of God's creation.
Whether your child dreams of becoming a doctor, enjoys hands-on projects, or simply wants to understand how the body works, Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy & Physiology provides a hands-on, Bible-based introduction to human biology that encourages both learning and wonder.

Great Anatomy and Physiology curriculum!
Ryan T.
I was looking for a science curriculum that I could teach family-style, and decided on Apologia Anatomy and Physiology. I have 7 kids that range in age from 13 on down, and this curriculum can be modified for all their ages. The lessons are short, but engaging and very interesting. I love all the experiments too!

Solid

This was our first time exploring Apologia curriculum and while I think I prefer AIG God's Design curriculum a little bit more I still think this was a solid curriculum and we learned a lot.

Horrible
Nova
This book is awful. It's loaded with personal anecdotes and it reads like something geared for a 5 year old. It is most definitely not a 6th grade level book.

So excited
Laura P.
We are really excited to start this curriculum. This is our 3rd year homeschooling and I have always felt like disappointed from the science curriculum that we've tried. We've tried Science in the Ancient World, Good & Beautiful, Elemental Science - Zoology, and my science loving girls have usually been let down. This is set up exactly like a traditional text book would be. You'd find something very similar in a classroom setting. I really like that every lesson has an experiment. Some are quite simple, while others are very elaborate. I ended up purchasing the deluxe lab kit through Christian Books so that there would be no excuses for not doing every experiment. One thing that I will mention is that this is heavily faith based. There is page with the evolution graphic that is crossed out, which has sparked some conversation with my children. This book obviously teaches science from creation perspective which is fine, but it is something to note if this doesn't align with your family views. I'm really excited to start learning about the human body with my 3rd and 5th grader!

Amazing Textbook
Melinda H.
I enjoy teaching science from a creation perspective, and the author of this text has done a fabulous job of including faith elements. The text is well written for my 6th grader to comprehend, as I'm sure there are other textbooks on the human body that could be quite difficult to understand. We also enjoy the workbook and lab kit that goes along with this study.

Exploring Creation Anatomy
August S.
If you have done any of the Apologia Young Explorers you know the deal: The writing is less academic and more conversational, geared to the independent, upper grade school level. Don't let that turn you off. I'm a medical doctor and it's accurate and appropriate for the age level. This is traditional anatomy textbook breaking the body down by systems (a very brief and appropriate endocrine system and no reproductive system). Easy and appropriate home experiments at the end of each chapter. This is definitely a curriculum older grade school students can do unsupervised and I think it's fine for JR high students as well. I recommend the Notebooking Journal if for nothing else the acetate system pictures which make a excellent anatomy chart. One final point: there are elements of Faith themed throughout. The theme is along the lines of the order, beauty, and awe of the human body in relation to God's creation and the natural world. Only the most strident atheist would object. This faith element in no way distracts or denigrates from the science. It's actually well crafted in showing children how science and faith are mutual and not exclusive. 4 stars.
