Apologia Zoology 2
From the rivers and streams to the
mighty ocean, God filled the Earth's waters with animals great and small. Upon His Word, enormous whales sprung into being.
At His command, billions of plankton leapt to life. On that day, millions of creatures like the strapping sea turtles, the
skulking sharks, the delightful dolphins, and the soaring squid gladly joined their fellow sea animals. How joyously crammed
with excitement was the fifth day of earth's existence.
Apologia's newest elementary science book will
take you and your family on an exploration into the wonders of the swimming creatures made on the fifth day of Creation. You'll
begin with a big splash from the whales and dolphins, then spy on seals and meet manatees before swimming with the sea turtles,
snakes, and salamanders. You'll even peek in on the primeval plesiosaraus and its pals.
Following your frolic
with fish and sharks, you'll uncover the world of crabby crustaceans, sea snails, clams, and their soft bodied friends
like the octopus, squid, and nautilus. You'll consort with corals, find flowers that devour plankton, see stars and feathers
that walk, leap and roll, and descover dollars that disappear in the sand and sponges that clean more than you might think.
Prequisite: Zoology 1
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. Among other experiments and projects, your student
will try on blubber, investigate a shark's ability to sense electrical currents, explore how whales can hear sounds that
come from far away, and learn through experimentation which creatures make the best fossils. No matter how near or far you
live from the ocean, you and your students will wonder at God's design in the amazing aquatic animals He formed and fashioned
on the fifth day.
