Your children will learn how to attract various bird species to your yard and identify them by looking at their special physical characteristics, diverse nests, and interesting domestic practices. They will also learn the anatomy and the glorious design that enables birds to do remarkable things. After becoming amateur ornithologists, your children will explore the world of chiropterology, which is the study of bats.

Exploring Creation with Zoology 2
Young Explorers Series
by Jeannie Fulbright

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.

Heroes of Invention Unit Study
by Amanda Bennett
Using fascinating stories of early inventors, Amanda has assembled 18 historical studies of various inventors from centuries past. Using stories of these inventors (written in the 1800s), she has developed a wonderful set of studies that teach not only about the inventors and their inventions, but also about the history of the time, the trials they endured and how they stayed committed to their ideas.
Your student will become familiar with the ideas that were involved in those early days of the Industrial Revolution, while enjoying the stories of these men's lives from boyhood through their adult lives. With many illustrations, these printable pages can form a sound basis for several areas of study - from European history to American history, from the scientific basics of flight by balloon to the principles of steam, the story studies hold the student's interest in a way that textbooks cannot approach.
