Are you looking for a top notch biblical based science curriculum for your children?  You will need to look no further than Apologia. Apologia provides fun and challenging K-12 creation-based science curriculum specifically designed for the home school.  Apologia Science is full of hands on experiments that are easy to do at home and challenges your children to stretch and learn.   Apologia was written by a former university professor and homeschool parent.  I have found it to be one of the most thorough Science programs out there. I have used them in the past but was blessed to review Zoology 1 Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day and Exploring Creation with General Science Edition 2.  Zoology 1 Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day introduces your children to classification of flying creatures. It gives you an in depth study of birds, their anatomy, their habitat, identifying birds, even how to attract them to your yard, making the connection to how God created them and how glorious and wonderful they were created. There is also a study of bats and their habits as well. The book does cover many animals that can fly.  What I love about this book is that it's all you need. You do not need anything else to teach it. The children get to make a notebook with lots of things to put in it. There are several hands on activities all surrounding God's creation of the 5th day.  Exploring Creation with General Science Edition 2 is a two book set that includes both the student textbook and the Solutions and Test Manual. This is a book that gives your child an introduction to science.  It such a rich book that covers a lot of ground.  It has a very wide range of topics that it covers. The history of science, scientific method, designing experiments, simple machines, archaeology, geology, paleontology, biology, and human anatomy and physiology.  With such a large range of topics in this book there is something for every child that would interest them. I loved watching my children coming to life with curiosity while using this book.  It's full of experiments that can be done at home with household items.  Apologia offers a free help line for all customers.  They also offer a money back guarantee. On their website they offer notebook pages to go along with  Zoology 1 Flying Creatures of the Fifth Day and many of their other books that they offer.  Apologia offers a wide range of curriculum for all ages and all your science needs. They are great in supporting the homeschool parent and helping them if they have any question.  Apologia wants you to succeed in teaching your child science based on creation.  You can see samples of thier books on the Apolgia website.  The books are non-consumable and can be used with all your children througout the years.
