Something's Off
Review byJane
I really wanted to love this curriculum. I appreciate the approach toward medicine in general and the incorporation of scripture. But like others have mentioned, I find the workbook to be a poor match for the textbook. The assignments will either require outside research (trying to keep my kids off the internet and wanted this to be open & go) or if the worksheet topic does seem to be a match to the assigned textbook reading, I will later discover that the specific answers required are NOT in the reading. This makes the whole process frustrating and not rewarding for me and for my kids. Finally, as a registered nurse with decent knowledge of anatomy, I find the information featured, the order in which it is presented, and the highlighted vocabulary to be unnecessarily complicated and confusing.
I'm disappointed because having purchased the textbook, three copies of the workbook, and supplemental anatomy manipulatives, I feel committed to this topic and curriculum for the year.

my 5th grader, myself and husband do not like this
Review byMercedes
I dont want to bad mouth MB because i love a lot of their content and what they stand for, however, this curriculum is terrible. as a 30 year old with a public school education, i found this very challenging. the words are hard to pronounce, the lessons almost always dont seem to relate with the reading for the day, not to mention it seems all over the place. there are choices of worksheets/activities for the child to choose and it feels like there are papers everywhere and its been a nightmare for us. we are 5 weeks into the school year as of tomorrow, and, we have NEVER not finished a subject because as a middle class household we dont enjoy wasting money but we are searching for a different science curriculum because we dont want to dread the whole school year.

Not going to continue
Review byBrittney
I had really high hopes for this curriculum based on the excellent reviews, but it's not working for us. The worksheets don't always make sense for the reading. I want my kids to have hands on lessons and worksheets about the human body, and most of the worksheets so far we have skipped over because they're about some tangential information. When I told my kids we were going to do something else for science, they got really excited. I'm really bummed that it's not working out, but it's not at all what I had hoped and I want to use our school time wisely.

Stay Away
Review byLiz
I tried to look this, and we will finish it because I don't like to NOT finish something. However, it is a chore. My kids don't like science, so I thought this would be a good choice. Reading the book, it's fine. The worksheets/activities are fine. HOWEVER, the reason I am only giving this two stars is because they do NOT match up. For example, the book said to read pages 36-39, and then do a particular worksheet. No problem. We read and then went to do the worksheet, and the worksheet said it went along with the same pages. HOWEVER, that worksheet actually went with the reading/diagram 20 pages later in the books, and some of the answers were things we hadn't come close to reading about. That's just ONE example. There have been others. But it's hard on planning and doesn't reinforce what was read that day because the sheets don't necessarily line up. I wish I wouldn't have listened to the 5 star reviews and would've have a real review like this. If I had it to do over again, I'd do a different course.

Excellent Anatomy Course
Review byAshley
My daughter used this for 6th grade science last year. She absolutely loved it! She often did more than a day's worth at a time. I do feel it is better suited for 5th/6th grade than the younger grades. It was challenging yet kept her interest throughout.

Nice set
Review byAmber
I really loved the authors forward bringing everything back to God. I thought this set was great but my son hated it. Not the fault of the books, he just isn't interested in this subject at all!

Award Worthy Curriculum
Review byVirginia
The Elementary Anatomy: Nervous, Respiratory, and Circulatory Systems (Set) is designed for the 4th to 6th grade student to complete over 36 weeks, five days a week. It includes a suggested daily schedule. It has 3 units, each of which cover a system of the body. Each unit includes learning objectives, supply lists, rubrics, a variety of activities and worksheets. The student book is very colorful with vibrant images and illustrations. The text is engaging, which makes the subject approachable for students. It is absolutely award-worthy.
I would highly recommend getting the paperback copy of the student book because it is too beautiful to print in black and white!

We Love it!
Review bydeon
This course is taught by a former ER doctor who is now a homeschool mom. The course is detailed enough to teach but appropriate for the elementary students.
This course is for 4th--6th grade. It is intended for a 5-day week, to allow for a 36 week class.
This teacher guide is for the companion book God’s Wondrous Machine. The reading and worksheets are not on the same day. This is so nice to allow for opportunities to talk about the reading before the worksheets are done. The teacher's guide is clear. There are so many engaging parts, writing, matching, drama and hands-on activities.
This book is being used as the textbook for Elementary Anatomy: Nervous, Respiratory, and Circulatory Systems.
The book (God's Wondrous Machine) is so beautiful. It has vivid images, history, and weird facts. Making connections to the Bible is so important in science. So glad for these reminders throughout.
This book would be great to help spark interest for kids interested in medicine.

Age Appropriate Content, Interesting, and Engaging.
Review byDawn
This is an engaging anatomy course from a Christian perspective. It includes some wonderful full-color illustrations, historical information, timelines, three levels of vocabulary words, and even Biblical references. The conversational style of the writing makes it more engaging than a typical textbook, but it is still packed with solid scientific information.

Fantastic course to learn about the human body
Review byKathleen
God's Wondrous Machine: This book covers the Nervous System, Respiratory System, and Circulatory System.
Each unit covers vocabulary, word pronunciation, historical information, timelines, biblical references, and vibrant photos.
The illustrations in this book are amazing. You feel like you can see inside the human body.
There are many areas titled I am Wonderfully Made that point out what scripture says about that area.
We had a lot of laughs with the section in each unit titled: Youve Got to be Kidding. Jokes that have to do with that part of the body. My sons favorite was How do you prevent a summer cold? Catch it in the winter.
This is a great book for students and parents. I am so pleased with all of the information in this book. We learned a lot of valuable things.
Teacher Guide: This teacher guide starts off by explaining the Eight Areas of Intelligence. It was very interesting.
At the back of the book, there was also an activity worksheet overview. That tells you which area of intelligence the activities in each lesson are best suited for. I found this really helpful.
The variety of activities in the teacher guide was wonderful. Some of them are: matching, short answer, short story, biblical references, fill in the blank, dictionary usage, timeline, project activities, word scramble, and our favorite: make a commercial
This was designed to be used by a 4th-6th grade student. It includes a 36-week schedule with lessons scheduled 5 days a week.
Another bonus is the rubrics to help with grading.
I highly recommend this course. I am learning so much along with my child. It is written so well that you just want to keep reading
