Product Description
Second Book in the Young Explorer Series. A creationist world view is stressed throughout.
Reader ReviewsThis fabulous book and the others in the elementary series perfectly lay the groundwork for later success in the unparalleled Apologia Science books. The philosophy is that, rather than be given a quick shot overview of a scientific subject, young students will thrive best with an exciting, intensified study that thoroughly peaks their interest beyond trite summaries. Written in the typical user-friendly Apologia style, these books are readable by the students. An in-depth study of the Plantae Kingdom is covered with continually fun activities that are teacher/parent friendly. The students learn Latin terminology that will aid them with more advanced vocabulary study, as well. We are using this in a homeschool Botany class where 6 families meet weekly in various settings to amplify the theme. We met at the park waterfall to study mosses and at a berry farm to pick blueberies together during the study of fruit plants. A visit to the bee farm and butterfly pavillon will provide visual integration of the pollination chapter. The students each made their own light hut to grow herbs which will later be made into their own herb soap. A free downloadable workbook is presently on their website, along with a multitude of internet links for each chapter. This is an effective and exciting study ~ well worth every penny!
