Exploring Creation with Zoology 3

Exploring Creation with Zoology 3: Land Animals of the Sixth Day

What separates people from apes? How can a Great Dane be related to a Chihuahua? Is there evidence that people and dinosaurs lived at the same time? What should you do if you encounter a bear? How can you tell if a snake is poisonous? Come find answers to these questions and many more with Apologia's Exploring Creation with Zoology 3!

This third book in the zoology series takes students on a safari through jungles, deserts, forests, farms, and even their own backyard. With Exploring Creation with Zoology 3 your children will explore, examine, and enjoy the enchanting creatures God designed to inhabit the terrain. 

Families will discover the amazing animals, from primates to parasites, kangaroos to caimans, turtles to terrifying T-Rexes. But this safari doesn't end there! Students will also record where each animal is found on a map and learn to identify animal tracks.

As with all of the Apologia elementary books, students will continue the practice of narration, keeping a notebook of what they have learned, and enjoy many hands-on projects and experiments throughout the course. See our optional lab kit here.

About the Young Explorer Series:

Young Explorer Jeannie Fulbright's elementary science program is an in-depth science curriculum with gorgeous, full-color pictures and captivating, God-exalting text. It sparkles in comparison to the mainstream, dry-bones science program, and it utilizes what we believe is the most sensible method of teaching science, the immersion approach.

Other science programs quickly become tedious with their yearly superficial overviews as children encounter the repetitiveness of topic matters. The Young Explorer science immersion program, will allow your family to enjoy the depth and riches that genuine science can give. Most home-taught children who enjoy science are taught with a science immersion program.

This program utilizes a combination of the Charlotte Mason and classical methods. You can rely on each Young Explorer book to acknowledge the evidence of Creation, have easy-to-follow self-contained lessons, include hands-on activities, and support the National Standards of Science. 

Recommended for ages six through twelve, but written with a fourth-grader in mind, you may find that your older children will enjoy doing the coursework independently. At the same time, younger, less confident readers will prefer parental involvement.

We encourage you to let your child choose the topic to study that captures your student's interest. Your student can use the Young Explorer titles in any order since each book's content stands alone. 

Because of the concept levels, the publisher suggests that Earth Science, Human Anatomy & Physiology, and Chemistry & Physics are better suited for upper elementary grades. However, younger students can certainly follow along and learn well if older siblings have progressed into these last three books. The Junior Notebooking Journals, for grades K-2, will allow them to absorb the concepts at their level.

If you would like a convenient, time-saving way to get nearly all of the materials you will need for the experiments, we now offer a lab kit! This lab kit is assembled with virtually every non-household item the curriculum requires, so you won't have to search for elusive components.
