Apologia Elementary Science Curriculum

I love to get school materials at a discount. Don't you? I thought there may be some of you who were already purchasing school books for next year (or more for this year). We have used this series of science books for a few years now and really love them. Apologia has an excellent reputation in the home school community and my experience with this curriculum has been great. The books are written in a conversational style so that your children will enjoy reading them. They are packed with great information about the creatures being studied - all from a Creation point of view. The science in these books is not skimpy. Your child will learn! They will expand their vocabulary through learning the meanings of the root words of the names of the kingdom, phylum, etc. to which the animals belong. They will learn about the habitats, feeding habits, and special features of the animals. They will learn about symbiotic relationships, defense mechanisms, and how they reproduce. (Reproduction is covered at a simple level without the details that your child may not be ready to learn.)

I think that these books are going to challenge most children to learn details that other curricula will not provide, but will not overwhelm most students. Your students will find the text and pictures enjoyable. You, the teacher, will have opportunity to have your child recall to you what they are learning through narration periodically through each lesson. Notebook assignments and experiments at the end of each lesson are a great way to have hands on activities and record what has been learned. Each book also comes with a password to give you access to the course web-site where you will find links to more information, videos, pictures, etc. of the topics covered in the lesson.

I'm planning to purchase the Land Animals of the Sixth Day title (along with the new notebook journals they have for the books in this series) for my youngest daughter for next school year. If you are looking for a great science curriculum this is it!

Now through March 31st these books are on sale at Christian Book Distributors. Interested in getting in on this sale? The link is below.
