The third book in Apologia's acclaimed zoology series,
Exploring Creation with Zoology 3 will give students a tour through their own backyards, bring them on a safari and introduce them to the varied inhabitants of jungles, deserts, forests, farms and other ecosystems. Discover how people are different from apes, how to tell poisonous and non-poisonous snakes apart, how to get away from a bear and more!
Arranged by classification order, animals are divided into the distinctions given in Genesis--wild animals, livestock and "creatures that creep." Each chapter is packed full of interesting facts and notes, characteristics, differences between species, habits, habitats, bright photographs and more fun information that kids will love to learn. Factor in interdisciplinary skills by keeping records of where each animal is located on a map, narration questions, notebooking, tracking tips, and numerous household, hands-on experiments and projects. Answers are organized by chapter, with both the student question (in bold) and answer included. 288 indexed pages, hardcover. Elementary grades.

We used Apologia's elementary astronomy book last year and really enjoyed it. We looked forward to trying another book in the series this year and my son chose to learn about land animals. I'm really rather disappointed in this book. The information seems to be presented rather randomly, with the second chapter focusing on canines and the third chapter focusing on bears. Later chapters feature bears, marsupials and primates, followed by rodents and ungulates. Amphibians get two chapters, followed by dinosaurs and ending with worms. There is no layout according to type of life form or any other discernable order. In my mind, I can grasp something more easily if it seems like there's a logical reason for one topic to follow another. Maybe if we had started with the first book on animals we'd be better able to appreciate this one - as it is, it is too randomly presented for me.

This is the second Apologia Science book we have used, and we love it! These books have taught my 7 year old son so much! He loves all of the details, experiments and projects in the curriculum. I'd recomend it for anyone looking for an excellent program to teach science to their kids, and even to learn along with them!

Beautifully illustrated text book. Well arranged for lessons. Can be taught to different age levels because of the sections and activities. Another fine production by Apologia.

Jennie Fulbright does such an awsome job with all her books! The detail is amazing! The depth is so great! We are having sooo much fun going through this book! This makes Science Fun! We paired this book up with Considering God's Creation, and are using the notebook pages/projects for it. This makes learning so much more hands on! I plan to continue using Ms. Fulbrights books and Apologia's as well! Great job again Ms. Fulbright!!!
