Apologia’s Exploring Creation With Anatomy and Physiology, for 4th-6th graders, taught by Tanya Stuart, is a foundational anatomy and physiology course where your students will do a deep dive into the unique design of

their own body–both inside and out–and how they can keep it working well!

They’ll also explore a range of topics such as human DNA, cell anatomy, and body systems through the curriculum filled with vivid graphics, interactive lessons, and hands-on projects. As they engage with the lessons, projects, and experiments, your student will better understand the complexity and purposes of the human body’s

design and how best to care for their own body.

This anatomy course begins with a brief history of medicine and then gives your student a peek into cells and DNA. Using vivid graphics and hands-on activities to make learning come to life, your student will study and explore various body systems, nutrition, and health, how God designed their immune system to protect them, and what makes them a unique creation of God.

The student textbook provides engaging hands-on activities to help them solidify the concepts they are learning.

The Notebook Journal provides students with recording experiences, observations, thoughts, learning vocabulary, and engages students in the scientific process.

Some of the activities and experiments your student will complete in this course include making an edible model of a cell, testing the bacteria content in random objects, and even building a stethoscope.
