We live at the beach, so choosing Marine Biology for a lab science was a no-brainer. We figured we'd know everything anyway. Ha!This book is VERY thorough and gives lots of detail. We've checked out a few things on-line as well and found that the book gives a better description.The labs are easy -- maybe a little too simplistic for high school. We have supplemented with field trips and a few other labs that I found on line just by Googling.We're using the program with two other families in a co-op situation. We also bought the animals for dissection -- the shark was pretty cool! The kids are at different levels scholastically, so I've assigned no more than five pages of reading per day; it's usually closer to three. All the kids are keeping up quite well and no one is reporting any difficulties.As a mom/homeschooler who is creating the schedule for all three families, I'm really happy with the way the book is broken out into modules. It makes creating the schedule so much easier. It's a very user-friendly book for homeschoolers!
This is the second Apologia science book. They are great. The material is intense. This curriculum is for advanced students. Average students may struggle. Below average students will be extremely challenged.
This book is in a logical sequence from Apologia Biology. The author is differentso sometimes the emphasis and tone is different from the Wile-authored books.The tests seem harder, and less based exclusively from the study guide than the Wile books.The labs are home-school friendly, and the dissection of the shark is a real high point.
This marine biology textbook is easy to read and understand. It builds on the previous science courses and build on the concepts. These concepts are explained so you can understand it even if you haven't been exposed to them previously!!
This is the book used in a home school cooperative that my daughter participates in. If you want materials that exclude evolutionary process as an origin, this book will work for you. However, it does not appear to espouse the gap understanding of the Biblical creation narrative either ( I have not read it cover to cover, but skimmed through it) It is a good introductory study of the subject matter that is likely to spawn additional outside research by the curious student.
This book was so enjoyable for my 15yr old son, he was able to gather facts and still enjoy the reading material without it becoming boring half way through the book
This Marine Bio curriculum is so fascinating. Back during my son's homeschool days, I found myself reading it when he was asleep at night and I could not put it down. It is broken down by different parts of the ocean. The part I found most interesting was the life that exists between the low and high tides. We ended up selling it, but I kind of wish we hadn't. I admit to being a bit biased toward Apologia. Prior to finding it, my son hated science, period. Apologia gave him room to have his own opinion. He began reading biology books just for fun! Now, he's trying to figure out a way to fit a Chem 2 class into his final year at South Florida as a Psych major. Thank God for this curriculum. All the best to you.
Love the pictures
