Exploring Creation with Biology

This isn't just biology—it's a guided trek through jungles of DNA, oceans of microbes, and the glorious complexity of life. Exploring Creation with Biology (3rd Edition) transforms your teen's science credit into a grand-scale investigation of cells, genes, plants, animals, and ecosystems—while pointing clearly to the fingerprints of the Creator in every detail.

This full-year high school biology course covers all the essentials for a solid foundation in life science. Across 16 modules, students explore classification systems, cell structure, DNA, photosynthesis, genetics, microbiology, zoology, and beyond. Written in a friendly, conversational style, the 710-page student textbook includes margin notes, helpful study prompts, and vivid illustrations that do more than decorate the page—they clarify what's happening and why it matters.

But the real star of this set? The 554-page spiral-bound Student Notebook. With a built-in schedule, wide open space for organized notes, and dedicated lab-report pages for microscope and dissection work, it sets your teen up for independence without letting anything slip through the cracks. It even includes pre-formatted Cornell-style notes and structured study guides to make retention feel less like memorizing and more like mastery.

The course is designed for 34 weeks at a 4–5 day pace and includes access to tests, answer keys, and grading guidance via the included Solutions & Tests Manual. Lab components are clearly explained and thoughtfully structured—no need to guess what a "good" lab report should look like. Many families report that students enter college with confidence after completing Apologia Biology.

For teens who are ready to dig in, this honors-level course delivers both academic rigor and daily clarity—all through the lens of God's creation.
