It should take approximately 30 weeks to complete a "book," doing one part of each unit per week. The text is a hardcover book, so students’ complete exercises and chapter reviews on separate paper. Book 1 covers facts about the cell, food and nutrition, blood, safety and first aid, and mental/emotional/spiritual growth. A special feature of Book 1 is “Exercising for Fun and Health”, which includes instructions for a variety of games. Book 2 builds upon the content of Book 1 and continues with nutrition, safety and first aid, structure of the human body, the body's interior resources, healthy personalities, and meeting handicapped people. At the back of the text is a thorough glossary of the terms found throughout the text. The separate Test Booklet includes a chapter test for all chapters in both Book 1 and Book 2. This Teacher Edition includes all student pages, answers to textbook questions and tests, lessons suggestions, and discussion questions. Now available are two booklets of Student Worksheets that correspond with the student text to review the material in a variety of exercises. These include fill-in-the-blank, crossword puzzles, matching, etc. Two Worksheet Answer Keys have duplicate pages with red answers filled in.
