Exploring Creation with Zoology 3: Land Animals of the Sixth Day is a homeschool science course for elementary grades K-6 and part of our Young Explorer Series authored by Jeannie Fulbright. Exploring Creation with Zoology 3 is part of the award-winning Young Explorer Series–voted the #1 homeschool science curriculum for over 11 years in a row.

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-Rex—and the 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.

The Benefits of Using the Notebooking Journal

Keeping a scientific notebook has always been standard scientific practice.  Apologia’s Notebooking Journals have been designed to:

  • Facilitate retention and provide documentation of your student’s education. The unique personal written and artistic expressions incorporate both sides of the brain
  • Be flexible and allows for multilevel learning. A twelve-year-old student may write an essay and make an elaborate illustration, while a six-year-old may write one sentence with a stick-figure drawing
  • Help students record experiences, observations, and thoughts
  • Engage students in the scientific process
  • Provide a written history that students can reference as they explore new subject areas
  • Give your student a place where they can record and organize experiences and observations
  • Provides a place to review their notes to create opinions, and draw conclusions about the way their world works

 What’s the Difference between the Regular Notebooking Journal and Junior Notebooking Journal?

The regular Notebooking Journal for Exploring Creation with Zoology 3 is recommended for use with students who have mastered handwriting, can take notes, and enjoy upper elementary level activities.  The regular Notebooking Journals include the following features that are not in the Junior Notebooking Journals:

  • Lengthy and technical Vocabulary Crosswords
  • What Do You Remember? Written review questions
  • Final Review section

The Junior Notebooking Journals are designed for younger students who are still developing basic writing skills. These journals have easier crossword puzzles and activities, easier crossword puzzles and activities, and wider writing lines.
