Description

Optional, complementary teaching support is available for many Apologia high school courses through video instruction Thumb drives. Energetically presented by Sherri Seligson, the presentations help students understand the concepts taught in the text through captivating lectures, animated diagrams, and on-location video clips. The content is more of a summary of the textual information found in each section of the modules than a narration of the text. Every lab is also explained along with the expected results. Please note: these are not stand-alone products. The textbook, solutions and test books are required to use the thumb drives successfully. ~ Deanne

Publisher's Description of Exploring Creation with Biology Video Instruction Thumb Drive (3rd Edition)

In the videos that accompany Exploring Creation with Biology, 3rd edition, Sherri Seligson is actually teaching the course, using visual animations and on-location video clips. This helps students absorb the concepts in a richer and more engaging way, and it encompasses all types of learners. The animations help explain more difficult concepts in a three-dimensional, interactive way rather than in a static, two dimensional text only. And the medium allows students to review material until they really understand it.
