Survey of Man

6th - 8th Grade - 32 Weeks

This course will focus on our Creator's grand finale, mankind and how we are to exercise proper stewardship of our bodies. We will explore the creation model of man for 3 weeks, medical history for 5 weeks, and then dive into 10 of the 11 body systems. We will not cover the reproductive system in class due to its delicate nature. Then after 1 week exploring how our body fights foreign invaders, we will spend 8 weeks on what the Bible says about how we should fuel our body and what the health benefits are when we follow God's instructions. Mrs. Frates likes to call this study, "Make your Home a Cancer Free Zone" in hopes that this information may help some families prevent this dreaded disease. This class includes dissections of a sheep's heart, calf's eye, and fetal pig among other experiments.
