college-prep biology course is designed to be the student's second high school Biology course and provides students with a thorough understanding of the
relevance of scientific inquiry. Apologia's Marine Biology, 2nd Edition 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, all from a Christian perspective. In class we will dissect a clam, a starfish, a sponge, and a
shark (!!) and look at other marine specimen under the microscope, as well as
conduct other fun experiments together.
