Exploring Creation with Marine Biology, 2nd Edition, consists of a student textbook, a solutions and tests manual, and a student notebook. The notebook is designed with a daily schedule, note-taking pages (a critical skill needed for college), space to answer all study questions found in the textbook, lab report pages to help students document and master the process of writing a complete lab report, and additional materials not found in the textbook. Because biology is a prerequisite for this course, it is assumed that the student has dissection tools and access to a microscope. Students will need to purchase the marine biology prepared slide kit and the dissection specimens.

Highly recommended, yet optional, materials include the video instruction where Sherri Seligson provides full instruction for the course and takes students on location to experience the material they are studying. The video instruction also shows video coverage of every lab exercise found in the textbook. An audiobook is available through iTunes and Audible and as an MP3 audiobook download.
