 DIVE Biology

DIVE Biology is a complete, college preparatory one year curriculum that does all the teaching for you! This course includes video lectures and labs, a printable workbook and lab manual, video solutions to all workbook and lab activites, a weekly assignment chart, and a free email Q&A Email Service with Dr. Shormann.  

Topics include but are not limited to Science and Christianity, biochemistry, cells, genetics, Creation/evolution, bacteria, protozoans, fungi, plants, animals, ecology and human anatomy. 

DIVE Biology will also encourage students to become naturalists. One of the first tasks God assigned Adam was to name the animals, giving Adam a chance to become familiar with the animals he had been given responsibility for. Today’s science classes typically don’t emphasize the naming of plants and animals, and most students probably could not name 10 bird species that live near them, not to mention plants, mammals and other organisms. DIVE Biology encourages the memorization of plant and animal names through the use of Biology Facts Quizzes. These are computer-based quizzes that give students an opportunity to memorize a list of plants or animals, plus other lists such as the names of human bones. 


Taught from A Biblical Foundation

Students using DIVE Biology will become adept at working with the scientific method, will be familiar with the use of technology in science, and will develop their lab skills above and beyond most of their peers. Most importantly, students will have a better understanding and appreciation for the rich Christian heritage that exists in science, and will better understand the importance of studying His Word and His Works as they seek to become good rulers of His creation.

Your Choice of Textbook

Weekly reading assignments can be completed using our free Internet Textbook, which is a chart with links to specific websites to complete required reading.  If you prefer a traditional textbook, we recommend either Bob Jones, Apologia, or Abeka.  We have a reading syllabus for these books, as well as many others, that tell you exactly what to read each week.  Click the link to view the Reading Syllabus.

Advanced or Standard High School Course

Based on the CLEP and AP standards, DIVE Biology is an advanced course that contains all the labs required for an AP Biology course.  Although it was designed to be an advanced course, it can be used as a standard high school course by allowing students to take the quarterly exams as "open note" exams.  


Earn up to 8 College Credits by Exam

Upon completion of DIVE Chemistry, we recommend completing our CLEP Professor for CLEP and AP Biology.  This three week course specifically prepares students for the CLEP and AP Biology exam. For those planning to take an AP or CLEP exam, it is recommended that you use either the DIVE Internet Textbook, Bob Jones or Apologia to ensure adequate reading material.  If using Apologia for an advanced course, we recommend you use both the Apologia Biolohy and the Human Body text.  The Apologia Biology text is missing about 8 weeks of required reading material that is found in the Human Body textbook.  Therefore, both books are required to complete required reading assignments.
