A Journey Through Creation – A Master Books Notebook Companion™

A Journey Through Creation - A Notebook Companion™ for Wonders of Creation VIEW SAMPLE A Journey Through Creation Notebook Companion™ and Wonders of Creation by Master Books (sold separately) combine science and apologetics with philosophy, art, and even mathematics to show some of the incredible ways we can see God’s hand of design in the world around us. The Notebook Companion™ gives your student numerous opportunities to draw and/or label many of the creatures and concepts studied. It also includes optional bonus projects that encourage students to dig deeper with hands-on projects and other challenges. In addition to providing a suggested schedule, the Planning and Pacing Guide (included!) contains an additional project and writing assignment for each week. The units begin by looking at the design of more than two dozen animals including land mammals, sea creatures, birds, and insects such as: Horses Camels Elephants Giraffes Kangaroos Sheep Dogs Coral Reef Fish Whales Dolphins Salmon Sea Turtles Sea Snails Cuttlefish Jellyfish Penguins Albatrosses Hummingbirds Eagles Dragonflies and Damselflies Butterflies and Moths Bombardier Beetles Ants Bees Dung Beetles The section on birds also shows how God’s hand is evident in the design of things such as a bird’s bones and muscles, wings and feathers, breathing system, and syrinx. It also discusses migration, distance gliding, aerial acrobatics, and more. The books then move on to exploring stars, the planets in our solar system, and how to understand how distant starlight is compatible with a young Earth. The books return to Earth and look at the existence of beauty, the incredible way mathematical patterns and precision have been observed in our world, and how both inorganic and organic materials are perfectly suited for our use. The books conclude with a look at the intricate design of our own body systems and a study of rock layers, dinosaurs, radioactive dating, and what went wrong in this world. Optional bonus projects in A Journey Through Creation Notebook Companion™ include: Land Mammals Comparative Chart Sea Creatures Research Project, Art Project, and Bible-Related Project Bird Flight Simulator Project Insects Research Project Stargazing Project Beauty and Color Palette Project Mathematics Project Materials Project Anatomy Project Apologetics Writing Project Many of the projects have space for students to reflect on what they’ve learned and record their thoughts.
