Homeschool Anatomy and Physiology

Over the last few years we have explored elementary science with Apologia studies. This year my elementary-aged children are excited about Exploring Creation with Anatomy and Physiology.

Homeschool Anatomy and Physiology Review

~Don’t miss the *giveaway AND the special discount code* at the end!! We received these Apologia homeschool anatomy and physiology resources in exchange for an honest review. Any affiliate links included are for resources we absolutely love. All opinions are our own and we love the benefits and blessings we are continuing to see from this homeschool anatomy and physiology study. Please see our disclosure policy.

Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology

The Young Explorers series offers a Charlotte Mason approach. The textbooks in the Young Explorer series, like this Anatomy and Physiology, have these components:

  • Lessons
  • Narration
  • Notebooks
  • Projects
  • Experiments

Which also includes:

  • Instructions for the teacher and a suggested schedule (e.g., a two week schedule for each lesson: reading and notebook assignments during the first week and the experiments and data recording during the second week).
  • Gorgeous photographs of human anatomy plus diagrams and more – with interesting facts in the captions
  • Prompts for the student to complete the accompanying notebook pages
  • What do you remember? discussion questions
  • Suggested project or experiment

This text uses an immersion approach. “A child that has focuses on one subject throughout an entire year is being challenged mentally in ways that will develop his ability to think critically and retain complex information.”

  • Oh this makes it so nice for the teacher! All the pages are in one spot. This is a spiral bound notebooking journal.
  • The contents follow along the studies of the textbook.
  • Take it with you in the car, pull it out at the kitchen table.
  • My 3rd grade son appreciates the Jr. Notebooking Journal – just enough writing for him. Not too much!

Make a pocket for your menus with the notebooking journal section on nutrition.

  • Bible verses on all coloring pages.
  • Pre-lined notebooking pages.

What Age is the Young Explorer Series For?

We are using Exploring Creation with Anatomy and Physiology with our 3rd and 5th graders. “The elementary series is designed for grades K-6.”

Apologia Anatomy & Physiology

How We Use Apologia’s Anatomy and Physiology in our Homeschool

With 14 lessons in Anatomy and Physiology, most can be divided into two week segments. I have found that I can be very flexible with these resources. We use them for: Read Aloud Time – we have a good habit going of spending some time just after lunch when I read aloud the text and the children work on their notebooking journals. Independent Reading – my fifth grader can pull the textbook off the shelf and read her lesson – and even sometimes read aloud to her brother while I clean up lunch dishes.
