Apologia - Exploring Creation with Zoology 2: Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day

by Jeannie K. Fulbright

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.   From the rivers and streams to the mighty ocean, God filled the Earth's waters with animals great and small.  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.
