Apologia’s Young Explorer Series

Apologia’s Young Explorers elementary series is a complete elementary science curriculum for use with multiple-aged children in elementary grades k-6.

All of the elementary books in the series have a specific main topic that it sets its focus on. Each of the science textbooks has 13-14 lessons that have individual topics that pertain to the main topic of the book.

This creates a completely immersive curriculum which is written directly to the child. The conversational style writing makes this a great choice for Charlotte Mason homeschooling.

When you add free printables for Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Zoology, as well as complete the suggested hands-on activities, this science textbook will fascinate children who love learning about land animals for a full school year.

A great curriculum for animal loving kids.

I’ve shared before how much my girls love animals. They are always wanting to learn about them, memorize interesting facts. and go on field trips to see them. If you have animal lovers in your house they will enjoy being immersed in learning about land animals and learning about them in different ways.

My favorite thing to do with this book is to take multiple field trips to the zoo to see the animals we are learning about first hand. The year we studied land animals, we bought our family a zoo membership so we could attend the entire year, each time we finished a chapter. 

Exploring Creation with Zoology 3: Land Animals of the Sixth Day is the third book in the Zoology series. This book will take you and your children on a safari through different wild animals, their habitats and even your own backyard to learn about land animals.

There are so many amazing animals that are covered in this book. Many of these animals you can visit at your local zoo and even animals that you can’t see like parasites and dinosaurs. Children will learn the scientific names of the land animals of the 6th day, and about the different animal groups.
