We have completed our Exploring Creation with Zoology 3 Land Animals Apologia Science book.
We took our time, and spent about 18 months enjoying our reading, researching and discoveries. I LOVE to take things slowly. In all our years of homeschooling, I must endorse this – take your time with the things your kids enjoy!
Flesh it out, savor it.
Delve deeper, dig out more.
Delight yourselves in discovery!
All the way through our studies, my daughter pasted the images of each animal mentioned in each chapter onto continent maps.
For this activity ~
- Download and print out your free pictures ~ Land Animal Pictures and classification table ~ Table Classification of land animals
- Print out maps for each continent – Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America, Oceania. (Our Middle East map was still empty at the end of our study.)
We have enjoyed our Land Animal mobile hanging over our study table for the past year …
Pop over to the original blog post and here is your free download ~ Classification Table+cards. This is a simplified version of Animal Classification.
But now it is time to take it down to make way for our next Science book … Astronomy!
Blessings,
Thank you SO much for taking the time to create and share these printables! The animal photos are terrific and sized perfectly for using as you have cleverly done on continent pages or using to make trading cards with a fun fact. Thanks again!!
