Creation Anatomy, K-12

The amazing flexibility of the structure that is totally self-contained and self-propelled is remarkable. To think that anything as complicated as the human body could have evolved by random chance processes requires more faith than our belief in Creation. As you study each fascinating system in the body, with its precisely designed functions, you will be amazed and will truly appreciate how you were created. Not only is each system special, but they are all interrelated and interdependent. In this text, the student will learn the importance of each body part and its significance.

This unit study guide was written for students in grades K-12. It includes a 42-page teaching outline and over 300 activities in every subject: language arts and grammar, science activities and experiments, geography and history, math reinforcements, vocabulary and spelling, reading lists, art and music, and resource guide. Some reproducible sheets are included. Softcover, 170 pages.
