Apologia Exploring Creation with Botany begins with a lesson on the nature of botany and the process of classifying plants.  It then discusses the development of plants from seeds, the reproduction processes in plants, the way plants make their food, and how plants get their water and nutrients and distribute them throughout the body of the plant.  As students study these topics, they also learn about many different kinds of plants in Creation and where these plants belong in the plant classification system.  Hardcover.

Apologia's Exploring Creation with Astronomy begins with a lesson on the nature of astronomy, and then it covers the major structures of our solar system.  Starting with the sun and working towards Pluto, the student will learn details about all nine planets (or is it eight? - your student will have to decide) in the solar system.  Along the way, the student will also learn about earth’s moon, the asteroid belt, and the Kuiper belt.  After that, the student will move outside our solar system and learn about the stars and galaxies that make up God’s incredible universe.  Finally, the student will learn about space travel and what it takes to be an astronaut!  Hardcover

In this book, your children will begin exploring the dynamics of flight and animal classification, understanding why the design we see in these incredible creatures points us to our Creator God. Then, get ready for the exciting adventure of learning about birds. Your children will learn how to attract various bird species to your yard and identify them by looking at their special physical characteristics, diverse nests, and interesting domestic practices. They will also learn the anatomy and the glorious design that enables birds to do remarkable things. After becoming amateur ornithologists, your children will explore the world of chiropterology, which is the study of bats. Hardcover.

Apologia's newest elementary science book will take you and your family on an exploration into the wonders of the swimming creatures made on the fifth day of Creation.   From the rivers and streams to the mighty ocean, God filled the Earth's waters with animals great and small.  From the microscopic to massive, no stone is left unturned in your student's passage through the waters of the world.

The creatures your student studies will come to life as your student creates replicas of them and adds them to his Ocean box - a miniature hand-crafted aquarium.  As always, each lesson ends with an experiment or project reinforcing the scientific method and the concepts studied.

Among other experiments and projects, your student will try on blubber, investigate a shark's ability to sense electrical currents, explore how whales can hear sounds that come from far away, and learn through experimentation which creatures make the best fossils.  No matter how near or far you live from the ocean, you and your students will wonder at God's design in the amazing aquatic animals He formed and fashioned on the fifth day. Hardcover.

What separates people from apes? How can a Great Dane be related to a Chihuahua? Is there evidence that people and dinosaurs lived at the same time? What should you do if you encounter a bear? How can you tell if a snake is poisonous? Come find out answers to these questions and many, many more with Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Zoology 3! This third book in the zoology series takes students on a safari through jungles, deserts, forests, farms, and even their own backyard to explore, examine and enjoy the enchanting creatures God designed to inhabit the terrain. Families will snuggle together and discover the amazing animals from primates to parasites, kangaroos to caimans, and turtles to terrifying T-Rexs— this safari doesn’t end there! Students will also keep a record of where each animal is found on a map and learn to identify animal tracks. As with all the Apologia elementary books, students will continue the practice of narration, keeping a notebook of what they have learned, and enjoy many hands on projects and experiments throughout the course.

Exploring Creation With General Science is a junior high school multimedia course.  It is not a supplement. It is a FULL COURSE! It runs in Internet Explorer, which is included on the CD.

The course looks just like a website, which makes it very easy to use.  There is a navigation frame to the left which allows you to choose any module and any section of the course.  The content of that portion of the course will then appear on the right-hand frame.  There are animations and videos throughout the course, which make the material fun and interesting. Technical words are also pronounced for the student.

There are hands-on experiments throughout the CD so that the student can have a true laboratory-based science course. All of the materials needed for these experiments are common, household items. There are study guides and tests for every module in the course, and the answers are provided as well.  Located on a separate CD that is included with the course, these materials can be printed out so that the student can use them and the parent/teacher can grade them.

This should be the last course a student takes before high school biology. It is typically recommended that the student take this course during the same year that he or she is taking prealgebra. Exploring Creation With Physical Science provides a detailed introduction to the physical environment and some of the basic laws that make it work. The fairly broad scope of the book provides the student with a good understanding of the earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. It also covers details on weather, motion, Newton's Laws, gravity, the solar system, atomic structure, radiation, nuclear reactions, stars, and galaxies.

The second edition of the physical science course has several features that enhance the value of the course:

• There is more color in this edition as compared to the previous edition, and many of the drawings that are in the first edition have been replaced by higher-quality drawings.
• There are more experiments in this edition than there were in the previous one. In addition, some of the experiments that were in the previous edition have been changed to make them even more interesting and easy to perform.
• Advanced students who have the time and the ability for additional learning are directed to online resources that give them access to advanced subject matter.
• To aid the student in reviewing the course as a whole, there is an appendix that contains questions which cover the entire course. The solutions and tests manual has the answers to those questions.

Because of the differences between the first and second editions, students in a group setting cannot use both. They must all have the same edition. A further description of the changes made to the second edition courses can be found in the sidebar on page 32.  

Format: 2 volume set. The first book, hardbound, is the student text, which contains all student material, 'on your own' questions and solutions, laboratory exercises, and module study guides. Color photos and illustrations. The second book, softbound, is the solutions and tests manual, which contains answers to module study guides, tests, and test solutions. Shrink-wrapped with the solutions and tests manual is a booklet containing an extra set of tests.

This course is designed to be a student’s first systematic introduction to the sciences. The course covers such topics as the scientific method, designing experiments, simple machines, archaeology, geology, paleontology, biology, and human anatomy and physiology. Its scope, therefore, is quite wide. There are many hands-on experiments to do, and they all use household items. Set includes Textbook and Tests & Solutions Manual.

• Scientific advances in the relevant topics have altered how some of the material is covered.  For example, the primary function of the human appendix wasn't determined until 2006.  Thus, while the primary function of the appendix is not discussed in the first edition, it is discussed in this edition.
• There is more color in this edition as compared to the previous edition, and many of the drawings that are in the first edition have been replaced by higher-quality drawings.
