Description
Ever walk beside a stream or river or stand in awe at the edge of the ocean? Show your children how awesome the waters really are with Exploring Creation with Zoology 2: Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day! Apologia’s second zoology book takes 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 plesiosaurus and its pals.
Other fascinating creatures that came into being at God’s command are included:
- Plankton
- Strapping sea turtles
- Skulking sharks
- Soaring squid
- Swimming bass
- Creeping crayfish
- Sluggardly snails
- Crabby crustaceans
- Sea snails
- Clams
- Octopus
- Nautilus
- Corals
- Flowers that devour plankton
- Stars and feathers that walk, leap, and roll
- Dollars that disappear in the sand
- Sponges that clean more than you might think
The creatures come to life as your student creates replicas of them and adds them to his “Ocean Box” — a miniature hand-crafted aquarium. Among other fun experiments and projects are:
- Blubber
- A shark’s ability to sense electrical currents
- Explore how whales can hear sounds that come from far away
- Which creatures make the best fossils
