High school students who have completed basic biology and/or who have any interest at all in any type of health-care career will be ahead of the game by joining us for Anatomy & Physiology. We will use Apologia’s Advanced Biology for our text. Students will also need an anatomy coloring book (they use these in universities and medical schools). We will be using the Anatomy Coloring Book, 4th edition, by Wynn Kapit. Students will also need a set of quality colored pencils. Class time will be spent reviewing anatomy and systems and performing various physiology labs. More information will be sent regarding texts and materials after registration.
This is a full-year course intended to satisfy a student’s high school science credit requirements. Bring colored pencils.
Homework: 5+ hours/week
This class is intended for high-school students who need to begin earning lab science credits. We will be using the Apologia Biology, 3rd Edition text.

Students in this class will be eligible to become a part of the Critter Club team and share in the responsibility of caring for our animal friends. Animals will be handled in this class, and proper hand washing and safety precautions will be required. All students will be required to bring a thee ringed binder, page protectors, and a pen or pencil.
