The Foundations of Science: Cells and Systems (Textbook)

In Cells and Systems: Living Machines, Dr. Heather Ayala examines the intriguing intricacies of one of God's smallest creations: the cell. Children can learn how they were created, from the division of their cells and the DNA instructions within them to their muscles and bones, cardiovascular, respiratory, nervous, and other systems, their five senses, and why eating healthy foods and getting plenty of exercise is beneficial for them.

Target Age: The workbook is ideally suited for middle elementary-aged students, but it can be adapted for children as young as first grade and as old as fifth grade. With a variety of activities included, not all need to be completed. The choice of activities can be tailored based on the child's age. For example, younger students might benefit from coloring pages, while older students might skip these and focus on more complex tasks. Similarly, younger students may bypass some of the personal reflection questions, while older ones should be encouraged to provide detailed and thoughtful responses. Please adjust the workbook to best fit your family's needs.
