If you're looking to shave some time off of your lesson planning, consider these ready-made lessons plans. Written by Lynn Ericson, a homeschooling mother, they were intended to aid her own children in using the courses after numerous days of not having necessary supplies, being unavailable to direct reading at the needed moment, etc. She breaks down the modules of the Apologia courses and provides instructions on what to do each day to finish the modules in an educational and time-efficient manner. Takes the guesswork out of scheduling! ~ Rachel S.
This is a very handy resource for planning your lessons with Exploring Creation with Astronomy. However, it does not include any of the activities in the notebooking journal. And in fact, if you purchase the journal as part of the course, it has a lesson plan built into it. So if you are planning to use only the textbook alone, this will be helpful and save a lot of time, but if you are planning to use the journal as well, this resource is pointless.

Do I have to purchase the lesson plans, if I already have the textbook?
The Textbook does not include any lesson plans although it is not too difficult to plan your own. However, the Student Notebooking Journals include lesson plans.
