COURSE OVERVIEW
BOOKS AND MATERIALS

Campbell Essential Biology 4e [ORDER USED]
544 pages. Order the FOURTH EDITION used. This is a secular, lower division college text for non-science majors that is highly readable with amazing visuals. However, it is a SECULAR text with some objectionable content about the human person. We pair this book with a text about the Catholic Church and faithful science.

Colored Pencils (Prismacolor 24 Color Pencil Set recommended)
Art and science assignments often call for colored pencils. Students will need at least the colors of the rainbow, black, gray, and white. Any brand or pack of colored pencils will do. Pencil texture, number of colors, and price make the Prismacolor set of pencils our favorite.
