Travel the world to learn more about the incredible world of
land animals in Exploring Creation with Zoology 3 from Apologia. Following
the Genesis 1 (verse 30) pattern, land animals are separated into three
categories to study: wild animals, livestock, and crawling creatures. The
beautifully illustrated Textbook
provides 14 lessons. While no schedule is included in the textbook, the author
anticipates lessons taking about 2 weeks to complete. (For those wanting a
predetermined schedule, there is one found in the optional Notebooking Journal).
Within the Textbook are all the lesson readings and related activities, What
Do You Remember? comprehension questions, lesson supply lists for
activities, and the answers to the comprehension questions. Numerous household
or easily found items are needed to complete the hands-on activities. Students
will need a notebook (3-ring with looseleaf paper or spiral bound) or the
optional Notebooking Journal to record their learning. There are no tests at
this level. Purchase the Textbook and/or Notebooking Journal separately or see
the Exploring Creation
with Zoology 3 Advantage Set, which includes both the Textbook and
Notebooking Journal.
Please note, the 2nd edition Textbook and Notebooking
Journal are not compatible with the 1st edition Text and Notebooking
Journal.
