Publisher's Description of Bob Jones University Press Biology Equipment & Slide Lab Kit Grade 10 - 5th Edition

This lab kit takes the hassle out of high-school science. It provides many of the chemicals, lab equipment, and prepared microscope slides needed to complete the labs in the Bob Jones University Press Biology for 10th, 5th Edition.

NOTE: This course requires a microscope, not included in the set.


Category Description for Comprehensive Science Programs

Items listed in this section tend to be complete science programs with a teacher and student component, requiring few supplements besides science supplies.


Category Description for Bju Press Science

With so many secular materials infused with evolution, it's sometimes difficult to find solid science materials that are based on Creationism. Bob Jones Science is thoroughly Christian, including many evidences and support of Creationism and many "holes" in the theory of evolution, particularly at the upper grade levels. Vital to the program are the student activities, or labs. The scientific method is emphasized as children participate on hands-on activities and experiments throughout the curriculum. The junior high and high school levels are full-blown laboratory science courses, complete with a separate lab manual. Experiments are excellent, but some of them require unique materials or are difficult to do in a home environment. The revised texts are more home-friendly, though, and Bob Jones also offers a Lab Manual Supplement for home schoolers, containing tips for doing lab activities in smaller groups. We have used many of these upper level texts in our home school. We also have accumulated a wealth of laboratory equipment and supplies over the years, which has made the lab work easier. I have sometimes substituted labs from Experiences in Biology and Experiences in Chemistry (from Castle Heights - see index) where it's been too difficult to use a particular lab. Bob Jones has made it easy to obtain lab materials and chemicals (you can order almost anything you need for their courses on the Science Lab Materials Order Form), but some labs are still pretty complex for a home environment, requiring a lot of set-up and preparation time. For each grade level, essential materials are listed first, followed by asterisked (*) supplemental support materials. Support items used at multiple grade levels are at the end.


Category Description for Bju Press Secondary Levels

There is more evaluation of science and its relationship to Scripture at the upper levels, and biblical Creationism is presented as truth. Teacher's editions contain reduced student text pages on the same page with teacher instructions, notes, and answers.

Category Description for Bju Press Biology (5th Ed. / 4th Ed.)

A comprehensive high-school biology laboratory course including cellular biology, genetics, biotechnology, the history of life, microbiology, botany, zoology, ecology, human anatomy and physiology, and the systems of the human body. The course takes a tacitly Christian position on current issues like AIDS, abortion, sexuality, drugs, euthanasia, hypnotism, homosexuality, ecology, physical disorders, genetic engineering, etc. Laboratory exercises are included in the Student Lab Manual (sold separately). The Dissection Labs DVD is a real help, often providing a better view of the target system than a real dissection provides. If you decide to do the actual dissections, you will need a kit that contains specimens (earthworm, crayfish, perch and frog), dissection tray, and tools. Bob Jones sells one that includes the Dissection Activity Book, or check out our item #8779 which includes specimens, tray and tools, but no book or magnifier. The Dissection Kit Student Activity and Teacher's Activity books sold separately provide detailed descriptions of the four specimens, as well as instructions and diagrams on the best way to dissect each creature and questions to answer along the way. The teacher's book contains the answers. A microscope and other equipment may also be necessary.

Category Description for Biology (5th Ed.)

This comprehensive high school biology course includes topics on cytology, biotechnology, genetics, taxonomy, microbiology, botany, zoology, and human anatomy. Scripture is cited as the ultimate authority on issues such as evolution, human cloning, abortion, and stem cell research. Also highlighted are careers in the field of science and critical thinking beyond the textbook.

Labs are found in the Student Lab Manual, and a complete kit is available through Bob Jones. The kit they offer is complete and includes the supplies for dissection labs, microscope labs, and other labs. There are now only two dissections (rat and crayfish), rather than the four that were included in the previous edition. The Lab Manual Teacher Edition offers the answer keys for the labs.

The Teacher Book w/ CD includes additional lesson information, schedule suggestions, and answer keys for the student text.

The Home School Kit includes the Student Text, Teacher Book w/ CD, Tests, Tests Answer Key, Student Lab Manual, and Lab Manual Teacher Edition.
