Exploring Creation with Zoology 2: Apologia Book Review

This Apologia science book for elementary students will take you and your family on a thrilling educational journey of the underwater creatures of the sea.

Written directly to the student, you’ll love the conversational style of text, making learning about the creatures God created on the fifth day enjoyable and fun.

And, to make it even easier for you, they also offer a notebooking journal and a convenient lab kit that contains nearly every non-household item the curriculum requires.

Many find themselves completing the reading and notebook assignments over one week and then spending a second week on the experiments.

The notebooking journal is a wonderful addition and includes:

Review questions
Areas to label the diagrams
Spaces to add sketches
Copywork pages
Crossword puzzles
Flap books to make
And much more!

There are even extra resources available through their website. To access it, simply enter the password included in the textbook.

A handy guide is included in the beginning of the textbook that outlines every material that will be needed for each lesson, making it easy to prepare ahead of time.

Your child will love learning about:

Aquatic animals
Whales
Seals and sea cows
Herps
Primeval reptiles
Fish
Sharks and rays
Crustaceans
Mollusks
Cephalopods
Echinoderms
Cnidarians
And other interesting aquatic animals!

Exploring Creation with Zoology 2 is loaded with photos from the sea and helpful diagrams. Many hands-on activities are also included to make learning memorable.

I loved how they included prompts throughout the text, such as “Explain some of the interesting things you have learned about slipper shells, abalones, and limpets.” This is great for reading comprehension and to ensure the student is understanding what they are reading.

In addition, at the end of each chapter is a helpful, “What do you remember?” section, as well as notebok activities, an experiment, and a fun project.
