| The Teacher book includes two
volumes with 742 pages, spiral bound. See science in modern life as
your students study an introduction to cellular biology, genetics, taxonomy, microbiology,
botany, zoology, and human anatomy. The biology materials uphold the sanctity and wonder
of life as God has created it. These materials discuss Christian positions on eugenics,
drugs, abortion, diseases, miracles, evolution, euthanasia, homosexuality, ecology,
genetic engineering, AIDS, and animal rights. The Teacher's Edition contains extensive
teaching notes, schedules, and activities. It also includes a reduced full-color student
text with answers to all review questions. For each chapter in the student text, the Teacher's Edition
contains the following:
- List of objectives
- Suggested Time Frame for completion
- Brief description of Laboratory Activities
available in the Lab Manual
- Overview of the chapter, including a
discussion of various teaching techniques to be considered (and some to be avoided)
- Marginal materials (etymologies and
footnotes) of the student edition
- Collection of teaching notes (in the
margins)
- Answers to the Review Questions at the end
of each chapter
- Answers to the Thought Questions at the end
of each chapter
At the end of each of the two volumes are
the Appendixes, the Glossary, and the Index. These sections are included in both volumes
so that they can be used even when only one volume is used in the class or home school
session.
