Humans and the Rest of Creation

The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) are research-based, cutting-edge K–12 science standards. They set expectations for what students should know and be able to do. To date 44 states have adopted NGSS or have standards based on the underlying framework.

While not an NGSS curriculum, BioLogos INTEGRATE has many points of alignment with NGSS. To aid instructors who refer to NGSS in their lesson planning, we have aligned all INTEGRATE science activities with the standards. Please see the NGSS Alignment for BioLogos INTEGRATE.

After years of getting requests for curricula, BioLogos began developing INTEGRATE in 2017. Focus groups with educators revealed they weren’t looking for a brand-new, full biology curriculum, but rather quality, vetted resources to help students make deeper connections between their Christian faith and the science they were learning. INTEGRATE has been designed to accomplish that goal in a flexible, easy-to-use format. It spans not just one or two hot-button issues but the full range of topics covered in a typical biology course. The modular format enables easy team teaching with Bible, English, and even Art teachers.

BioLogos INTEGRATE is a flexible teacher’s resource for exploring biology from a Christian worldview. It presents science in conversation with biblical faith. Designed for classroom teachers and home educators, INTEGRATE can be used alongside any science curriculum, or even on its own. It addresses common questions and concerns related to bioethics, creation care, origins, and other topics, and emphasizes virtues such as humility, wisdom, wonder. INTEGRATE helps Christian young people grow in their faith in Christ as they develop a deeper love and stronger understanding of the world God has made.
