The goal of biology is to teach scientific content and method and the biblical principles necessary to interpret and apply this knowledge in a God-honoring way. Students will learn cell biology, genetics, the history of life, taxonomy, microbiology, botany, zoology, ecology, and human anatomy and physiology. Current issues such as abortion, stem cell research, biotechnology, euthanasia, environmentalism, genetic engineering, AIDS, and cancer will also be discussed. About 20% of class time is spent in lab activities, such as demonstrations, dissections, and experiments.

Student Text

cover image of Biology text Biology, Third Edition has been completely redesigned from front to back. The Student Text is filled with new and colorful photographs and illustrations. Special Facets of Biology articles provide in depth and practical information on topics covered in each chapter. Biology, Third Edition is the first of the BJU Press texts to incorporate the new P.I.L.R. (Personal Interactive Learning Resource) concept. P.I.L.R. texts are designed so that the students can personalize their text by writing notes, highlighting important concepts, and answering questions right in the text. While maintaining its focus on biblical integration, this two volume set covers cellular biology, genetics, biotechnology, taxonomy, origins, microbiology, botany, zoology, and human anatomy. The text also presents Christian positions on biotechnology, abortion, evolution, homosexuality, ecology, disease, and drugs. Each volume contains laboratory exercises designed to reinforce and complement the material presented in the student text.
