Tiramisu Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I will be teaching a coop science class for ages 9-11 this year using Zoology 3. I have some reservations about the text but have decided to proceed because the parents and kids have enjoyed using this series. I would love some suggestions on how to make this work in a coop setting for a first-timer. What length of assignments are realistic for this age group on the days we don't meet? Should there be homework everyday? Who is the lovely person who offered to share the animal pics? I would love to have them! (I tried to search for this but had no luck.) I thought of using blank books for the kids to use for the notebook assigments, recording the animal tracks, and including maps for the animal pics. Would that be effective? Any other comments or thoughts would be helpful. Thank you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimber Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 Is this Apologia by Jeannie Fulbright? If so, check Donna young.org. I'm not sure, but she may have some zoology apologia lesson plans on her site. Also check out the notebooking pages that Jeannie has for free on her site.

Tina Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 You've probably already seen these, but thought I'd post them anyway. There are some co-op manuals for botany and astronomy here: http://www.jeanniefulbright.com/science.html You might find some ideas there. Also, join her yahoo group (bottom of that link). There are some schedules in the files. Someone else might be working on that now, too! It's a great place to ask questions, too. There will be some notebook pages available for zoology 3 here: http://www.jeanniefulbright.com/notebookpages.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TolleLegeAcademy Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 A very generous and hardworking soul is sharing all of her notebooking pages for Zoology 3 here. They are very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiramisu Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 for the great links. I had not known of them so I'm very grateful. I also joined the Yahoo group. It looks like it will be very helpful. And, yes, this is the Zoology 3 book of the elementary Apologia series. Thank you! Kelli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiramisu Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 I'm still hoping to find the person with the animal pics.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 There were a few in the files section of Fulbright's yahoo group... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiramisu Posted August 4, 2008 Author Share Posted August 4, 2008 in those FILES, but I'm really hoping to find something like a sheet of animal pictures that I can photocopy so the children can cut them out and glue them on to the maps. I see the empty maps and the maps already beautifully completed but how do I have the students complete the maps without nice pictures to give them? I could have them draw their own but that would really overwhelm them, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
