Exploring Creation with Zoology
Sample Module
Table of Contents
This book is organized and written exactly like Jeannie’s other books. The only
thing that is different is the subject matter! 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.
