Description
This is it, the eagerly anticipated and finally available third book in the"Exploring Creation with Zoology" series. Now it's time to learn about all the land animals God created on the sixth day. Animals in this category are diverse and include many different types. Like the others in this series, the groups are studied using their scientific names. You'll learn about Carnivores, Caniforms, Feliforms, Marsupials, Primates, Rodentia, Ungulates (hoofed animals), Artiodactyla, reptiles, amphibians, and even dinosaurs. The book is divided into 14 modules, each containing the quality information and illustrations you've come to expect from Apologia. Children will learn about what makes each group very special and different from other groups of animals.At the end of each module, children will engage in a variety of notebookactivities and experiments. A "Track It!" activity helps students identify tracks of the animals just covered in that module. The "Map It!" activity encourages students to mark a map with the location of where you might find the animals from that module. How Exciting! I think parents will really enjoy learning along with their children about the unique land creatures God created.

I bought it together with Zoology Notebooking Journal for my 5th grader. She's enjoying every chapter of the book. My 3rd grader follows along. The book is filled with awosome info. It really exceeded my expectations. Very engaging. I would highly recommend it to everyone who shares creationistic views.

Elementary Science - Great for younger kids
We are just a little over half way through this book and we love it! My kids (ages five and eight) and I are big fans of Apologia science and this one has not disappointed. Tons of interesting animals and enjoyable games, activities, and experiments. I definitely recommend!

My kids love this!
We are using this curriculum along with the notebook journal for middle school aged children. We have also used Zoology 1 and 2. It's great because they can work independently. The reading level is not too juvenile for them and I can adjust the difficulty level by simply requiring them to do more or fewer of the activities.

Zoology 3 is simply a treasure among science texts for children I am a Charlotte Mason homeschooler and don't usually use science texts for the elementary years We have always read real books from the library on whatever topic we were studying While this method has worked great for us in so many ways none of the available books were from a Christian perspective Still we found this the best available way to study science for the present Another problem was that my daughter is so used to good literature that science textbooks just didn't hold her interest After a field trip to the zoo one day she decided she wants to be a zoologist when she grows up I wanted to take full advantage of her excitement in that area while it still lasted so I let her pick a Zoology book out and we ordered it I have been so pleasantly surprised with this wonderful resource from Apologia! The text is incredibly interesting and I am learning things I never picked up from the library books or in my own education! This book is truly a "living book" in my opinion It is suitable for all ages as my 9 yr old my 15 yr old and I are all learning from it My 15 yr old is doing Apologia Biology and a lot of the chapters in Zoology cover similar things in a way that is much easier to understand but of course is not as in-depth I have him read any corresponding chapters from the Zoology text first so that he has a basic grasp of the subject before delving deeper with his highschool text We use this book like any "living book" in that I read it aloud to my 9 yr old and she narrates We have all learned so much from this lovely living science book and consider it a great addition to our home library

Zoology 3 (Land Animals) is my 9 year daughters favorite book It does involve quite of bit of reading so it may not be ideal for children who have difficulty reading I find the text is easy to read There are not any study questions so I write my own That way I know she is truly comprehending what she reads We plan on sticking with Apologia's Science books as the information is solid and I feel they will be well prepared for higher education

My daughter just FLEW through this book! She finished it in about 1-1/2 months time! We've done Astronomy Botany and Zoology 1 from the same series - all taking one year each This was quite a surprise to me! My daughter absolutely loved the book and found each animal encountered fascinating! I am now having her review by doing the lapbooks She is nearly finished with the first one - so the second CD-Rom is on order as is the Zoology 2 book and lapbook CD-Roms! Now that my daughter is 11 she is able to do the activities by herself which she is enjoying We highly recommend Zoology 3 - as well as all of the books put out by Apologia!

Great resource. Have used it with three other children and they wore out my first copy! Had to replace for my fourth!
