Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology

Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology offers an immersive, hands-on approach to learning about the human body, designed specifically for elementary students (Grades 1–6). Authored by Brooke Ryan, M.D., and Jeannie Fulbright, this science course blends the Charlotte Mason methodology with engaging activities, experiments, and notebooking to foster a deep understanding of anatomy and physiology.

Students will explore foundational topics such as cell structure, DNA and RNA, nutrition, blood composition, the five senses, and growth and development. The course also covers major bodily systems, including the Cardiovascular, Integumentary, and Respiratory systems, making complex concepts accessible through age-appropriate explanations and interactive learning.

Structured for flexibility, the course can be completed over a standard school year with two lessons per week. To support differentiated learning, two companion resources are available: the Notebooking Journal (Grades 4–6) and the Junior Notebooking Journal (Grades 1–3), which provide tailored activities, reflection prompts, and space for creative expression.

Published by Apologia, this curriculum combines scientific rigor with a nurturing, exploratory approach—perfect for parents seeking a comprehensive yet adaptable resource that encourages curiosity and retention in young learners.
