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. Families will snuggle together and 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 all 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.

Included in the Astronomy Notebooking Journal is: *A Daily Schedule for completing the reading, activities and projects, utilizing a two-day per week plan. *Fascinating Facts Templates for your student to record what he or she learned with both words and illustrations. *Templates for completing the Notebooking Assignments. *Review Questions, which can be answered orally or in writing as a written narration. *Scripture Copywork, with both print and cursive practice - which is a valuable method for memorizing Scripture, teaching spelling, grammar and writing, as well as handwriting practice. *Project Pages for the student to keep a record and log of projects he or she completed. *Take it Further ideas for additional activities, projects, experiments, books or videos that correlate with the lesson. *Beautiful, full-color, lapbook-style Miniature Books, which the students may wish to create. These are then placed on the Miniature Book Paste Page, to display in the notebook. *Field Trip Sheets to document astronomy-related field trips enjoyed during the studies. *A Final Review with fifty questions the students can answer either orally or in writing to show off all he or she remembers and knows about astronomy at the end of the course.

This book begins with a lesson on the nature of astronomy, and then it covers the major structures of our solar system. Starting with the sun and working towards Pluto, the student will learn details about all nine planets (or is it eight? - your student will have to decide) in the solar system. Along the way, the student will also learn about Earth’s moon, the asteroid belt, and the Kuiper belt. After that, the student will move outside our solar system and learn about the stars and galaxies that make up God’s incredible universe. Finally, the student will learn about space travel and what it takes to be an astronaut!

The activities and projects use easy-to-find household items and truly make the lessons come alive! They include making a solar eclipse, simulating the use of radar to determine a hidden landscape, making a telescope, and making an astrometer to measure the brightness of a star. We recommend that you spend the entire school year covering this book, devoting approximately two sessions per week to the course.

Only the hardback student text is pictured, but this set also includes the softcover booklet with the solutions and tests as well as the companion CD. This course is recommended for seventh grade. The course covers such topics as the scientific method, designing experiments, simple machines, archaeology, geology, paleontology, biology, and human anatomy and physiology.

This course is designed to be the last science course the student takes before high school biology. Thus, we generally recommend it as an 8th grade course. However, if your student was recently in public school, he or she might need to wait until 9th grade to use it. The course discusses such topics as the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, weather, the structure of the earth, environmentalism, the physics of motion, Newton’s Laws, gravity, and astrophysics. The author especially concentrates on the myths generated by the hysterical environmentalist movement. There are many hands-on experiments to do, and they all use household chemicals and supplies. It is an excellent course for preparing the student to take a college-prep high school science curriculum.

This CD is designed to be used with the textbook, Exploring Creation With Physical Science. It contains many multimedia features that cannot be included in a print textbook. They include videos that illustrate important concepts in the course, animations of example problems in the course, and also provides pronunciations of technical words with which the student is unfamiliar. Format: CD-ROM Requires a PC computer with sound card and speakers. Windows 98 or higher; Macintosh OSX or higher; Virtual PC 5.0 or higher.

This is the Solutions Manual and Test Book intended to accompany the Exploring Creation with Physical Science Textbook 2nd Edition. It contains answers to module study guides, tests and test solutions. Also included is a booklet containing an extra set of tests.

From the microscopic to massive, no stone is left unturned in your student's passage through the waters of the world. The creatures your student studies will come to life as your student creates replicas of them and adds them to his Ocean box - a miniature hand-crafted aquarium. As always, each lesson ends with an experiment or project reinforcing the scientific method and the concepts studied.

A softbound solutions and tests manual, which contains answers to review questions, practice problems, tests, and test solutions.
