Description
These creation-based resources provide tons of information, tips, and activities, whether you're planning a field trip or just want to stay in your own home and feel like you're on one. Each hardcover "field-trip-in-a-book" houses a spiral bound book as well as a "tool kit" - a pouch in the back cover holding additional materials like maps, case notes and field journals to fill out on your trip, fact cards, and challenges. Each book is divided into four sections: Before the Trip, During the Trip, After the Trip, and Appendices. In the "Before" section, students will utilize the planning calendar and supplies list and complete a few devotionals meant to prepare you for the trip and seeing the amazing creatures God has designed. The "During the Trip" section makes up the majority of each book, as it first provides you with insights and guidelines about the trip and then gives details on what you will be seeing. They give lots of information about the animals you'll see, highlighting their unique characteristics/designs, behaviors, and life cycles. There are colorful photographs, fun facts, and maps of habitats so the book is very visually appealing as well as informative. The "After the Trip" section provides lots of activities to expand upon your trip and ensure that the fun and facts will be remembered. There are reproducible activities like word searches and matching exercises, as well as more hands-on activities like creating a booklet about your trip or using some of the materials in the attached "tool kit". The Appendices includes a glossary, a Bible verse index, and teaching suggestions and tips. The books are first-rate, with glossy, colorful pages, captivating photographs, and useful and interesting information. The Creation Museum Adventure is a bit different than the rest, as it focuses on a specific museum and thus knows exactly what visitors will see and experience, and it doesn't really have animals so the different exhibits are described instead. The Zoo and Aquarium Adventures are more focused on these places in general and providing Creation-friendly information about the animals you will see. All in all, these high-quality books offer a great way to expand your trip to any of the featured locations and do an excellent job of dispelling evolutionary myths about God's creation and pointing to our wonderful Creator instead. Each book is about 160 pgs, hc. ~ Melissa/Rachel
