Exploring Creation with General Science (3rd Edition): Student Notebook
Exploring Creation with General Science (3rd Edition): Student Notebook This companion notebook is designed to be used with Apologia’s Exploring Creation with General Science, 3rd Edition, textbook. The student notebook provides an organized, complete lesson plan for the year, which lets students check off their progress as they work their way through. It has places for their notes as they’re reading, lab charts, and tables to record their scientific findings. This notebook pairs perfectly with the Exploring Creation with General Science, 3rd Edition textbook, providing easy-to-understand graphics where students fill in the blank spaces as they read. Students learn how to take information from a text, identify key points, and critically think through what they are learning. Teaching Your Student Solid Note-Taking Skills Note-taking is a learned skill. While it might seem like there should be “answers” to questions and prompts found in the student notebook, we do not provide specific answers on purpose. The best way to take notes is the way that works for the student. That’s why the Student Notebook introduces the student to several methods for taking notes. At the beginning of each module in their Student Notebooks, students are encouraged to take mindful notes using techniques that expand as the school year progresses. The section in the Student Notebook where notes are recorded was created to give students prompts or questions to lead them to the important information they will read in the text. Answering these prompts will help them take effective notes. The notes a student takes are personal to them and their answers may be different from another student’s answers, but they can be sure to find the information on the pages they’re instructed to read. Although there is no one right way to take good notes, after trying the techniques in this notebook, students should find the way that works best for them. Then they’ll have a much better handle on all the interesting and sometimes amazing things they will learn in general science this year. Additionally, this course was purposely designed so that the first 2 exams are open book – meaning that students can use their textbook and notebooks when answering questions. We encourage them to evaluate their note-taking efforts after each exam. Were their notes helpful in the exam? If yes, they are capturing important information. If not, they need to learn to pull more information out of the textbook. Don’t worry, we help them there too. Using colored text and prompts to steer them in the right direction, we essentially walk your student through the note-taking experience. The General Science Student Notebook Includes: Suggested Daily Schedule “What To Do” sections, with a breakdown of the assignments, detailing exactly what to do each day, with checkoff boxes for the tasks Note-taking pages that contain prompts to help teach the student how to pull out pertinent information from the text Graphic Organizers to cue students to important content for their notes Pages to copy definitions for the vocabulary words within each daily section of the module Space to answer the On Your Own questions that are listed in each module Space to record their results from the many “Explore More” hands-on activities Creation Connection pages where students record their intellectual, emotional, and spiritual reactions to what they are learning Space to record answer to the Study Guide questions. These questions serve as review and prep for the tests Experiment and Lab Report pages with detailed instructions guiding students through the scientific method, analysis of results, and writing both informal and formal lab reports. Additional Note-Taking Tips for Your Student The Student Notebook also includes tips for writing notes. Here are some of those tips for writing thorough notes that students will be introduced to in this notebook: Make sure to include the main ideas of each passage and list the minor concepts under the main ones. Use the author’s style to guide your notes. If the author defines a term, make sure you include that definition in your notebook (you won’t miss it; we have it there ready for you to define). If the author is comparing or contrasting two things in the text, you should compare and/or contrast in your notes (again, we’ll provide you with some diagrams to help you do this). If the author is classifying in the text, you should classify in your notes (and remember to include any hints you think of). Don’t copy the text word for word. Always write your notes in your own words and make as many connections to ideas you already know as you can. If you see a word you don’t know, write it down and look it up so you can better understand what you’re reading. Apologia encourages parents to review their student’s notebook to make sure that the student is properly engaged, however, student notes should never be graded. You can choose to use the character-building points in your evaluations. Offer encouragement if you see your student struggling. Ask them to review with you what they are learning. Mentor to them how you took notes at their age. You will see that with each notebook module we offer tips and hints. By the time your student finishes the course, you’ll see highlighting and colored fonts, personal thoughts expanded and explored, and a true knowledge on how to personalize, capture, and understand new knowledge. About the Student Notebook author: Vicki Dincher holds a master’s degree in biology. Her four children, all homeschooled, have earned or are pursuing graduate degrees in the sciences. Vicki has taught high school science, including Advanced Placement courses, since 1995.

Exploring Creation with Botany (2nd Edition): Textbook
Exploring Creation with Botany (2nd Edition): Textbook Exploring Creation with Botany, 2nd Edition, is part of the award-winning Young Explorer Series–voted the #1 homeschool science curriculum for over 11 years in a row. Understanding how plants and animals (including humans) were meant to interact for their created purposes helps us spread the beauty of God everywhere we go. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. John 15:5 This Charlotte Mason styled living book will help you cultivate a love of learning in your homeschool as you study God’s incredible world of plants. Written in the Apologia conversational style, this hands-on and engaging botany course begins with a lesson on the nature of botany and the process of classifying plants. It then discusses the development of plants from seeds, the reproduction processes in plants, the way plants make their food, and how plants get their water and nutrients and distribute them throughout the body of the plant. As students study these topics, they also learn about many types of plants in creation and where they belong in the plant classification system. When your family reads this science book you are studying important information discovered by great scientists throughout history. Keeping a student Notebooking Journal helps your child to document studies in their own words. Additionally, participating in science activities builds upon that knowledge as your child conducts their own scientific studies. It is our prayer that at the end of the year your child will have gained a deeper appreciation for and understanding of the beauty of creation. Features of Exploring Creation with Botany, 2nd Edition Increased focus on nature journaling New chapters on gardening and mycology Wide variety of new and updated activities to fit any writing level and learning style Engaging and fun Minibooks to illustrate and assemble All new spectacular photos and graphics A Suggested Daily Schedule that makes lesson planning a breeze Improved layout that is more user-friendly, regardless of the climate in which you live This title is part of the Young Explorer Series, authored by Jeannie Fulbright. There are 14 lessons included in this one-year botany course. A detailed daily lesson plan is included in the Notebooking Journal. Lesson topics include: Nature Journaling The Science of Botany Seeded and Seedless Plants Grouping Plants Seeds and Germination Angiosperms – Flowering Plants Flower Families Pollination Seeds Fruits and Vegetables Leaves, Photosynthesis, Transpiration Roots and Root Systems Stems Gardening Trees Gymnosperms Seedless & Vascular Plants Mycology This botany course for elementary grades is packed with a variety of hands-on activities, experiments, and projects. These can be completed with household materials. You can view the complete list of lab supplies by viewing the sample here. The gardening chapter is especially exciting. There is an activity on building a raised garden, so you do not need a lot of room for a garden. As always, we encourage you to modify the course and its activities to fit your family’s specific needs. For example, your family could grow a container garden. What Are Some of the Activities in This Botany Course? The Exploring Creation with Botany, 2nd Edition, course is designed to provide fun, educational, and safe activities for you to conduct in your home, yard, and surrounding environments. The activities and projects use easy-to-find household items and truly make the lessons come alive! There are over 75 different activities and projects from which to choose. A sampling of the course projects include: Create a Nature Journal Make a Tree Field Guide Build a Light Hut Preserve Flowers Grow Edible Mushrooms Create a Garden Journal Build lichenometer Design a Garden Plan Plant and Harvest a Garden What is the Daily Schedule for Botany? We have provided a detailed daily schedule for Botany in the front of each Notebooking Journal and Junior Notebooking Journal. This schedule specifically outlines what to read and what activities to complete. This course is designed to be done 2 days a week, approximately 1 hour each day. The suggested daily schedule, found in the student Notebooking Journal,is for 28 weeks. We suggest you modify this schedule to fit your family’s specific needs. Each lesson should take approximately 1 hour. Some lessons have activities or outdoor adventures, which will require more time. We recommend that you spend the entire school year covering this book, devoting approximately two sessions per week to the course. Please note that many of the activities and projects in this book are long term with results that can take several days to observe. Thus, you will have to be flexible in how you schedule your time.
