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

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 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.

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.

"Anatomy & Physiology 2" by Master Books gives a detailed look at the human body's advanced systems. The book is easy to follow with helpful illustrations, covering topics like the nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems. It's a great starting point for those interested in healthcare or biology, providing a strong foundation for deeper study. This book is a valuable tool for students and anyone curious about how the body works.
