Zoology
This class will include a field trip
to the zoo and aquarium
Fall semester: Aquatic Animals
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.
This class will explore the wonders of the swimming creatures made on the fifth
day of Creation. We will 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. We will even peek in on the primeval plesiosaurus and
its pals.
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.
Spring semester: Land Animals
What separates
people from apes? How can a Great Dane be related to a Chihuahua? Is there
evidence that people and dinosaurs lived at the same time? What should you do if
you encounter a bear? How can you tell if a snake is poisonous? Come find out
answers to these questions and many, many more with Apologia’s Exploring
Creation with Zoology 3! This third book in the zoology series takes students on
a safari through jungles, deserts, forests, farms, and even their own backyard
to explore, examine and enjoy the enchanting creatures God designed to inhabit
the terrain. Students will discover the amazing animals from primates to
parasites, kangaroos to caimans, and turtles to terrifying T-Rexes— this safari
doesn’t end there! Students will also keep a record of where each animal is
found on a map and learn to identify animal tracks.

“Exploring Creation with Zoology 3” Available at the Center for Home Education

Intro to Psychology
This class is designed to prepare home schooled high
school students for the worldview assumptions made in Psychology courses in
colleges and universities across the country. It will provide an overview of
introductory psychology though a Christian world view. Students will be
trained to better recognize the humanist, evolutionist, and naturalist
assumptions in the theories presented in college level Introductory Psychology
classes.
The curriculum we will use was written by a home schooling
father of four children with 13 years of experience working in the public
mental health field. Assignments will include vocabulary, internet research,
essays, biblical comparison, and more. Plenty of opportunity to gain
additional knowledge and understanding through research is provided.
This class is best suited for older high school students preparing for
college.
