Biology 101 provides more than 4 1/2 hours of video-based education on 4 DVDs. It provides a coherent and easy-to-understand overview of biology from a Biblical perspective. This course is packed with accurate and fascinating information, supported by thousands of captivating visuals and graphics. It is easy to use, understandable, and visually rich.
This exciting course, designed for ages 15 years old* and up, presents the study of biology following the actual creation days revealed in the book of Genesis. Taking God's word as the starting point, the course divides all life according to the days of creation.
Biology 101 is hosted by Wes Olson, a Multnomah School of the Bible (now Multnomah University) graduate, homeschooling father, a veteran filmmaker with over 30 years of experience, and producer of the 101 series.
This course guides you through the world of biological science, unraveling and decoding complex terms and ideas. The nine individual segments provide a thoroughly Biblical framework and have a run-time between 30-45 minutes each.
An interesting and fact-filled 114-page Guidebook, with quizzes covering each segment, is included as a printable (digital PDF) on disc D.

Your Complete High School Level Biology Course?
It depends—homeschooling families’ approaches to teaching and learning are far from cookie-cutter in design. For some families, this course— which is very comprehensive in scope—will be enough to provide a thorough grounding in biology.
Other families may prefer to use these courses as a starting point, one that provides their student with the correct foundation; an eye and mind-opening overview of biology, before beginning textbook study. A Course Accreditation Program, along with the Guidebook (digital PDF), is included for those who want this course to serve as the foundation of a full school year's Biology course. In either case, students will find the course captivating and informative. In fact, the entire family might enjoy watching each segment together and engaging in lively discussions about the material.
Not Homeschooling?
The 101 series is even more essential! If your children are in a public or private school, the 101 series will be essential viewing. These courses will provide a clear Christian context in which they can place all the information they are provided in their regular classes. They'll get the big picture that will help them correctly interpret what they are taught in school, and learn that education can be exciting, challenging, and fun. Teachers, too, will find these courses invaluable.
