Required Materials or Books:  Exploring Creation with Zoology 3 Land Animals of the Sixth Day by Jeannie Fulbright.  I have found that Christian Book Distributors offers the best price for the textbook.  Mardel in Waco also carries it.  Students in the same family may share a textbook.  I will provide your student with their notebook and folder for class.  Please have your child bring pencils and colored pencils to class each week.  Students need not have completed Zoo 1 or 2 to be successful in this course.

“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 out answers to these questions and many, 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 to explore, examine and enjoy the enchanting creatures God designed to inhabit the terrain. Together we will discover the amazing animals from primates to parasites, kangaroos to caimans, and turtles to terrifying T-Rexs— this safari doesn’t end there! Students will also keep a record of where each animal is found on a map and learn to identify animal tracks.”

As with other Apologia courses, your child will work on their notebook each week. They will narrate what they have learned, make sketches, and record data from experiments. By the end of the year, they can easily refer to their notebook to remind them of everything we studied.  Because one of my goals for the children is to become prepared for more rigorous upper level sciences, I will administer tests in this class, and there will be some homework each week.
