Science

Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day

In this book, your children will begin exploring the dynamics of flight and animal classification, understanding why the design we see in these incredible creatures points us to our Creator God. Then, get ready for the exciting adventure of learning about birds. Your children will learn how to attract various bird species to your yard and identify them by looking at their special physical characteristics, diverse nests, and interesting domestic practices. They will also learn the anatomy and the glorious design that enables birds to do remarkable things. The text contains actual experiments on the preferences and habits of the birds your children see. These experiments further enrich the learning experience. After becoming amateur ornithologists, your children will explore the world of chiropterology, which is the study of bats. They will be able to intelligently share with others the value of bats in our world while exposing the misconceptions that most people have regarding these docile creatures of the night. Your children will then investigate entomology, the study of insects. They will learn to scientifically classify insects they find in their yard by a simple glance at their wings and other important characteristics. In addition to designing experiments with flies, crickets, darkling moths, and caterpillars, they will also learn how to attract and catch insects for scientific study. When your children complete this study of zoology, they will never view nature in the same way again. Their eyes will be open to the different species that live in their midst, enjoying and understanding nature to the fullest. Vacations will become educational experiences as they notice birds and insects inhabiting the areas they visit. By learning to keep a field journal, they will be able to notice unusual circumstances or sudden increases in bird or insect populations. They will become true scientists as they come to know nature and the fascinating world that God created. Grades K-6.

Synopsis | This inviting Young Math book shows that all division involves guessing (or estimating). Whether you are dividing the contents of a bottle of soda, a pile of walnuts, money a group of friends has earned, or the books in a second-hand library, the important thing you do is to guess how many or how much each person should get of what you are dividing.

Next, you revise your original guess so that the division comes out as evenly as possible, and finally you decide what to do about what is left over (if there is anything left over). 

Through lifelike examples, Robert Froman meaningfully illustrates the process of division, which is often such a great stumbling block for students of arithmetic. Gioia Fiammenghi's illustrations add a lighthearted touch to this interesting and informative book.

Synopsis | When the kids in the neighborhood lay out a baseball diamond, or when they are instructed to fold their papers "into three equal parts, for spelling," they are using the principles of STRAIGHT LINES, PARALLEL LINES, PERPENDICULAR LINES. The lives and livelihoods of printers, architects, painters, builders, and many others, in addition to mathematicians, depend on these principles, too.

In this charming book, Mannis Charosh has asked the young reader to imagine a world without rules or straightedges. To make a straight line in such a world, all you need is a piece of string. If, in addition to the string, you have (or make) a checkerboard and checkers, you are well equipped to explore the world of straight, parallel, and perpendicular lines. If you do all of the experiments and activities in the book, you'll be able to recognize such lines with the greatest of ease.

Enrico Arno's bright straight, parallel, and perpendicular illustrations enrich and enhance this fascinating and informative book.

Synopsis | Dillo is born deep in a burrow dug into the riverbank near fields of corn and soybean and a dense mangrove swamp across the river. When he is still young and dependent on his mother, Dillo is swept from the mouth of the burrow in a flash flood.

But Dillo escapes the raging river and learns to make his own way. The warm southern climate and abundance of worms, beetles, mushrooms, berries, and field crops make it easy for the little armadillo to survive. Protected by a thick, horny shell and an ability to dig, his only dangers are man-made ones, such as speeding cars, and people and natural disasters.

In describing the life cycle of his unusual mammal, Alice L. Hopf presents an informative and interesting picture and some little-known facts about the armadillo.

Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day

From the rivers and streams to the mighty ocean, God filled the Earth's waters with animals great and small. Upon His Word, enormous whales sprung into being. At His command, billions of plankton leapt to life. On that day, millions of creatures like the strapping sea turtles, the skulking sharks, the delightful dolphins, and the soaring squid gladly joined their fellow sea animals. How joyously crammed with excitement was the fifth day of earth's existence. Apologia's newest elementary science book will take you and your family on an exploration into the wonders of the swimming creatures made on the fifth day of Creation. You'll begin with a big splash from the whales and dolphins, then spy on seals and meet manatees before swimming with the sea turtles, snakes, and salamanders. You'll even peek in on the primeval plesiosaraus and its pals. Following your frolic with fish and sharks, you'll uncover the world of crabby crustaceans, sea snails, clams, and their soft bodied friends like the octopus, squid, and nautilus. You'll consort with corals, find flowers that devour plankton, see stars and feathers that walk, leap and roll, and discover dollars that disappear in the sand and sponges that clean more than you might think. From the microscopic to massive, no stone is left unturned in your student's passage through the waters of the world. The creatures your student studies will come to life as your student creates replicas of them and adds them to his Ocean box - a miniature hand-crafted aquarium. As always, each lesson ends with an experiment or project reinforcing the scientific method and the concepts studied. Among other experiments and projects, your student will try on blubber, investigate a shark's ability to sense electrical currents, explore how whales can hear sounds that come from far away, and learn through experimentation which creatures make the best fossils. No matter how near or far you live from the ocean, you and your students will wonder at God's design in the amazing aquatic animals He formed and fashioned on the fifth day.
