Introduction to Anatomy & Physiology 2 (Teacher Guide - Revised)

After getting the textbooks as soon as they came out, I had to get the teacher resources also, I ended up getting the print and PDF versions so I can always have them available. The help these give me saves many hours of work I would otherwise lose from my family time. I am looking forward to teaching these volumes this year!

The required book to accompany this teacher guide is Wonders of the Human Body Volume 2 by Dr. Tommy Mitchell.

The Teacher's Guide contains schedules, worksheets, quizzes, tests, and answer keys.

Three units cover the topics: Digestive System and Metabolism, Reproductive System, and Special Systems.

In the first unit, there is vocabulary, fill-in-the-blank, and detailed images for the child to label. The second and third units have vocabulary, fill in the blank, and ask the child to draw and label what they learned about. There is also a space for personal reflection. The images used for the child to label are very detailed. There is vocabulary and fill-in-the-blank for each lesson.
We loved the section at the end that gives you several scenarios of patients with symptoms and asks the child to diagnose them. That was fun!

This is the teacher guide that accompanies Wonders of the Human Body Volume 2. It includes the open-and-go schedule and all the worksheets needed to complete this high school course. Below is my review of the complete set:

What a fascinating study, one I wish I had done in my high school years! Learning about the complexity of each detail in the human body, I find myself marveling and echoing the words of Psalm 139:14, “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.”

Written from a decidedly Biblical worldview, the author frequently points us to our all-wise Creator and Designer - and shows how evolution cannot account for the complex systems in our bodies. The text is well-written, engaging, detailed but understandable, and complemented by excellent illustrations and diagrams. Worksheets include activities such as defining words, fill-in-the-blanks, and completing charts which will help the students interact with the text to retain the information. Like other reviewers have mentioned, vaccines are presented with no hint of controversy regarding safety or effectiveness, so plan to discuss your viewpoint with your students if you differ in your opinion.

The biblical worldview really shines in the reproductive section. I appreciate how they teach the scientific terms for developing babies, but are clear that they are babies, created in God’s image, from the moment of conception. Genetic problems that lead to miscarriage or health challenges are related as a sad reality in our sin-cursed world. While I know this is going to be an excellent high school study, I’m brushing up on it myself so I’m better able to explain what takes place during puberty to my elementary-aged children... and am awed all over again at the miracle of human life!

This is a well-organized teacher guide. The course schedule, course objectives, worksheets, quizzes, and answer guide are included in this book. The course is designed to have couple of days of reading, followed by a worksheet. The worksheets are consistent with the reading. The workload is appropriate for a high school student, but it is not overwhelming.

This course is a great continuation from the Anatomy and physiology 1 course for high schoolers. This set goes through the digestive system/metabolism, the reproductive system, and finally special systems. Worksheets are vocabulary, fill in the blanks and labeling of parts. At the end of each unit there is a quiz, every 2 quizzes there seems to be a test. The course book is very colorful and appealing to my high schooler, They use lots of charts, pictures and diagrams to get a lot of information into a chapter. I am very impressed with this course, and was actually more interested in this one over the first volume because it included the reproductive system. It can be very challenging to find the reproductive system taught tastefully and from a christian worldview. I was very pleased with how this unit was tackled, always pointing to Gods design, and giving students the facts in a mature manner.

Introduction to anatomy and physiology 2
This is a great resource to add to the textbook. It is all laid out for the teacher to use. Unit one has 19 worksheets unit 2 has 16 worksheets unit 3 has 20 worksheets. For the quizzes each unit has two quizzes each. And one test for each unit. Needless to say this book allows you to give your student the evaluation throughout the curriculum and to know where they are at the end of each unit.

My 9th Grade daughter works about 3 days per week on this course. Often she does 2-3 book scheduled days per school day, to help her fit extracurricular activities into her schedule. The course load is very comfortable for her. However, the amount of information is extremely fulfilling. After looking through the textbook and grading tests/quizzes. I'm confident this course will prepare her for college-level anatomy.
I received this free digital course in exchange for my honest option.
