Exploring Creation with Advanced Biology 2E Text

Exploring Creation with Advanced Biology 2E provides a rigorous, college-preparatory study of human anatomy and physiology, designed for high school students ready to deepen their understanding of biology. Authored by Marilyn Shannon and Rachael Yunis and published by Apologia, this comprehensive textbook systematically explores the 11 major organ systems—skeletal, integumentary, respiratory, circulatory, nervous, muscular, urinary, endocrine, lymphatic, digestive, and reproductive—with detailed yet respectful coverage of each.

Structured for a full-year course, this material requires foundational knowledge in biology and chemistry and is best suited for advanced students in 11th or 12th grade. When used for one hour daily over two semesters, the course equips learners with a thorough grasp of human biology through clear explanations, hands-on labs, and thoughtfully designed experiments. For those who document their lab work, dissections, and research, the course can qualify as an Honors or Advanced-level credit.

To fully engage with the curriculum, students will need the accompanying Student Notebook, Solutions and Tests Manual, and Kaplan’s Anatomy Coloring Book (8th Edition), which together reinforce learning through interactive exercises and assessments.

Balancing academic depth with accessibility, Advanced Biology 2E prepares students for higher education in the sciences while fostering critical thinking and a mastery of complex biological concepts.
