This self-paced middle school science course will prepare your middle school student for high school biology. We will learn about life science from a Christian perspective—this includes creation, microbiology, plants, animals, human body systems, and our role in the creation story. All lessons are pre-recorded and available at the beginning of the school year in August. Students will learn at their own pace with suggested deadlines through watching recorded lessons, working with the textbook as well as additional readings, and hands-on activities to bring the concepts of the class to life. In addition to this, students are required to attend a weekly office hour to allow for growth of student-teacher relationships and to ensure student progress and success.
