Zoology 2 Notebooking Journal

for use with Exploring Creation with Zoology 2


The Young Explorer Series is a favorite science program for young scientists and with good reason. The Charlotte Mason approach provides lots of information in a readable, engaging format. Lessons are designed to be spread over multiple weeks, with significant portions devoted to hands-on experiments and notebook keeping.


Notebook keeping is simply a system for assisting your child in documenting what he has learned in each lesson. With this book, your child will write out the highlights of the lesson. 


If your child is young or doesn't enjoy writing, you can instead use the Junior version of the Notebooking Journal, available separately. 


This approach helps your child think through what he has learned, distill it down to its most basic level, and communicate it effectively. If he can't reiterate it well, he probably doesn't grasp it.


With 200 ready-to-use pages, as well as 64 pages of full-color supplements, the spiral-bound Zoology 2 Notebooking Journal includes:

 

  • A daily schedule for completing the readings, notebook assignments, activities, and experiments utilizing a two-day-per-week plan 
  • Fascinating facts templates for your student to record what he has learned with words and illustrations for each lesson 
  • Templates for completing the Notebooking Activities 
  • Review questions for each lesson, which can be answered orally or as a written narration 
  • Scripture copywork, with print and cursive practice--a valuable method for memorizing Scripture; teaching spelling, grammar, and writing; and handwriting practice 
  • Project pages and scientific speculation sheets for the student to record experiments or projects completed throughout the course 
  • Fly higher ideas for each lesson, including additional activities, projects, experiments, books, or videos that correlate with the lesson
  • Beautiful, full-color, lapbook-style Miniature Books, which the student may wish to create, encouraging him to record facts and information learned in each lesson. These are then placed on the Miniature Book Paste Page to display in his notebook 
  • Field Trip Sheets to record field trips he enjoyed during his studies 
  • A Final Review with fifty questions the student can answer, either orally or in writing, to show off what he knows about zoology at the end of the course

    Swimming Creatures notebook

    These notebooks don't go over too well at our house. They look nice, and the idea is a good one, but there's a lot of writing, much of it repetitive, and the mini books get to be a pain. For a child who likes them, this would be perfect!

    Used every page

    We have done multiple Apologia elementary series journal books and I think this one was my kids favorite. They completed it fully, which I can't say for some of our other workbooks. The astronomy one was also a favored one.

    Great additional resource

    This is a great way to reinforce learning...its a fun additional resource. It isnt totally necessary and might even be considered busy work...but we enjoy it.
