Publisher's Description of Exploring Creation with Zoology 2 Lab Kit for Apologia (2nd Edition)

If your children enjoy a fun, hands-on approach to learning, then this activity driven course will be engaging from cover to cover.

So that you will understand the organization and contents of this kit, please look through these introductory notes and comments. While we strive to include as many supplies as possible, it is impossible to include every item that will be needed. We assess the inclusion of each activity, or item, based on cost, long term availability of the item, allergy exposure, and ease of distribution. This is an incredible course filled with wonderful things to explore.

Reading the Lesson Bag labels

Supplies are organized into bags according to the text’s lesson numbers. Supplies for lesson one are contained in bag one, etc. Because many items are used for more than one activity, each label not only identifies the items in the bag, but also directs you to the location of additional items that you will need. By returning each reusable item to its original lesson bag, the labels will direct you through the kit with ease. The labels also reveal the items that you will need to provide.

You will find that many activities require not only time and organization, but also require items that you will need to provide. Once you have everything ready to go, we believe that your study through this text will be a rewarding, informative, and enjoyable way of learning many new things about our Creator and the Swimming Creatures He has made.

Please note: The instructions for all the experiments are contained in the textbook. The textbook is available separately if needed. No instructions for doing the experiments are in the Kit.

This lab kit is for the 2nd edition textbook only, it is not compatible with the 1st edition book.

Category Description for Exploring Creation with Zoology 2

Exploring Creation with Zoology 2: Swimming Creatures will immerse children in ocean anatomy, habitats, and aquatic life. Students should be familiar with the classification system and binomial nomenclature before diving into the watery depths to discover all the strange and unique creatures of the sea, lakes, and rivers. If students are unfamiliar with the classification system, the publisher recommends they complete Lesson 1 of Exploring Creation with Zoology 1 (available for free here). Purchase of the course includes a link and password to the Apologia Book Extras site which provides additional learning content. The Textbook includes all the student readings, instructions for creating an “ocean box”, and neat experiments like discovering the insulating power of fat, starting an aquarium, raising Triops, plus more. An appendix includes the supply list for all the activities (organized by lesson) and an answer key to the What Do You Remember questions from each unit. An optional, consumable Notebooking Journal provides additional learning activities for ages 5-11. Books are sold individually, or in a convenient set. We also offer an optional Apologia Zoology 2 Lab Kit from Nature’s Workshop for your convenience. Please note, the 2^nd edition is not compatible with the 1^st edition, as the new edition includes an additional lesson and revised lesson order. ~Deanne
