Anatomy: (Elementary Grades)

 

All creation is awe-inspiring, but the work of the human body, created in the very image of God, is especially jaw-dropping! This study of anatomy and physiology showcases the intricacy and design of the human body, from DNA and cell creation to the skeletal, muscular, digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous/endocrine, immune, and integumentary systems. Integrated with health and nutrition information, as well as plenty of scripture and biblical application. This complete guide to the human body is written in an enjoyable, conversational tone that will keep kids engaged.

This class is ideal for grades 6th-8th but I am open to other grades on a case-by-case basis.  Curriculum purchased by parents is required.
