Apologia's Marine Biology, 2nd Edition elective takes your upper-high school level student under the sea to explore the many wonders of marine wildlife and habitats!
The textbook opens with a chapter on oceans themselves--including plate tectonics, salinity & density, waves, tides, and other physical characteristics-before studying sea creatures and the different types of ocean zones. Subsequent chapters cover life in the sea, the first four kingdoms (Monera, Protista, Fungi, and Plantae), marine invertebrates, marine vertebrates, marine ecology, the intertidal zone, estuary communities, coral reefs, continental shelf communities, the deep ocean, and more.
This course can be completed in a year at a pace of spending 45 minutes each day, five days a week, on the subject.
As biology is a prerequisite, it is assumed students have dissection tools and a microscope. Students will need to purchase the marine biology prepared slide kit and dissection specimens to complete the course.
Pre-requisite: Biology. Recommended for Grade 12.
The solutions manual contains the tests and solutions to the module study guides and tests found in the text. A booklet containing an extra set of tests is shrink-wrapped with the manual.
This kit includes:
- Exploring Creation with Marine Biology 2nd Edition Text, 576 pages, softcover.
- Exploring Creation with Marine Biology 2nd Edition Solutions Manual, softcover.
