Timberdoodle's review

Exploring the World of Biology
The field of biology focuses on living things, from the smallest microscopic protozoa to the largest mammal. In this book, you will read and explore the life of plants, insects, spiders and other arachnids, life in water, reptiles, birds, and mammals, all highlighting God's amazing creation.

You Will Learn About the Following (and So Much More):

How does biological classification give each different type of plant or animal a unique name?

In what ways are seeds spread around the world?

What food does the body use for long-term storage of energy?

How did biologists learn how the stomach digests food?

What plant gave George de Mestral the idea for Velcro?

Learn About Classification
For most of history, biologists used the visible appearance of plants or animals to classify them. They grouped plants or animals with similar-looking features into families. Starting in the 1990s, biologists have extracted DNA and RNA from cells as a guide to how plants or animals should be grouped. Like visual structures, these reveal the underlying design or creation.

ABOUT THE EXPLORING... SERIES:
There is much more to science than poking, prodding, swirling, stirring, creating, or constructing. There is the story behind the science. While many children would rather learn with their hands, Master Books has made the reading of science as painless as possible.

God-Honoring Perspective
The illustrations may be black and white, but accounts are quite colorful, resulting in a surprisingly appealing text for otherwise potentially dreary topics. Includes chapter tests. This is a great series from a fine Christian publisher.

Another outstanding component of Timberdoodle's Eighth Grade Core Curriculum!
