Exploring Creation with Zoology 2: Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day by Jeannie K. Fulbright (2006, Book, Illustrated)

This is an amazing science curriculum for the elementary grades! By going above the "grade level" of the student it truly instills not only an excitment about the topic but for science in general!!!! It teaches the kids how to LEARN real facts and not just bites of watered down information. It really unleashes a students potential. I waited until 2nd grade to begin the series because that would be 1 book a year until beginning Exploring Creation with General Science (in 7th grade) and it really works out excellent! My daughter was much more able to not only learn the information but also to have long term retention starting in 2nd grade! That is why I will personally not being this until 2nd grade with my younger children as the difference in retention in 1st grade vs. 2nd grade is huge. It gives the student kindergarten and 1st grade to learn what science is before really digging in! We did Astronomy in 2nd, Zoology 1 in 3rd, Zoology 2 in 4th, Zoology 3 in 5th & Botany in 6th and my daughter is MORE than ready to being Exploring Creation with General science next year in 7th grade!! I will NEVER go to another science curriculum again!

We homeschool our child and belong to a co-op at our church. Exploring Creation with Zoology 2 was the recommended book and I am so glad. As an educator in the public schools for 15 years, I have seen a lot of text books. This one is written in a very logical sequence, appropiate pictures and diagrams, and pronunciation guides throughout to help with the vocabulary. It also includes a website to enhance learning. I highly recommend any of the Exploring Creation books!

I think the book is very informative and has great colorful pictures. I bought it because it's Christian based and has a Charlotte Mason approach to teaching science.

This is our fourth book in this series and as always, the kids are enjoying their studies. The lessons are simple to follow, though if you want to do the projects and experiments you will need to plan ahead as not all the items are common to all households. This book is packed with knowledge and written in a conversational format that makes it an easy read and easy to start a discussion from. I recommend this book and any in the series for any upper elementary to middle school age students.

It is GREAT book!
Easy to read and you learn ALOT of information about the creature's and their enviroment!
It's fun and it's a great book to get if you like water and sea creatures!
I like the condition it was in when we got it!
i got the book because I really like sea creature's and the ocean and I needed it for my science class!
