Exploring Creation with Zoology 2 2E Text

Dive into the wonders of the ocean with Exploring Creation with Zoology 2: Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day, 2nd Edition. This engaging elementary science curriculum invites students to discover God’s incredible design in marine life, from majestic whales to fascinating cephalopods. Through a mix of vivid lessons, hands-on experiments, and creative projects, young learners will develop a deep appreciation for the underwater world—and the Creator behind it all.

The adventure begins with an introduction to oceanography, covering essential topics like ocean structure, salinity, tides, and waves. As students progress, they’ll explore marine biology, learning about the unique traits and behaviors of swimming creatures. Each lesson connects scientific discovery with faith, helping children see the purpose and beauty in creation.

Interactive learning brings the material to life. Simple at-home experiments—like testing water pressure or observing density—make complex concepts tangible. Kids can also build their own "ocean box," adding creatures as they study them, reinforcing knowledge in a fun, memorable way. The companion Notebooking Journal (sold separately) extends the experience with activities tailored for deeper engagement.

Written by Jeannie Fulbright and published by Apologia, this hardback textbook is designed for elementary students (grades 1–6). Its structured yet flexible approach works well for homeschoolers or classroom settings, blending rigorous science with a sense of wonder. Whether your child is a budding marine biologist or just loves ocean adventures, this book turns learning into an exploration of God’s underwater masterpiece.
