Lab Kit for Exploring Creation with Zoology 2, 2nd Edition

Exploring oceans and the creatures that live beneath the surface is exciting. Hunting down plaster of Paris, hydrogen peroxide, safety goggles, sea monkeys, and a collection of other specialty supplies? Not nearly as much. This lab kit gathers the harder-to-find materials for Exploring Creation with Zoology 2: Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day (2nd Edition), so you're ready when each hands-on investigation appears in the curriculum.

The kit includes more than 20 specialty items, including plaster of Paris, hydrogen peroxide, safety gloves and goggles, a magnifier, modeling clay, balloons, a sea monkey kit, and many other experiment materials. (See the Details tab for the complete list.) You'll still provide a few common household supplies, but the unusual pieces have already been gathered and are ready to use.

As your child studies cetaceans, sirenians, mollusks, cephalopods, and other aquatic life, he'll diagram a shark's senses, design a fish, simulate a crab claw, identify cnidarians, explore buoyancy and saltwater density, and complete many other investigations that bring marine biology to life. Each activity reinforces the concepts in the text while developing observation skills and scientific curiosity.

Designed specifically for Exploring Creation with Zoology 2 (2nd Edition), this parent-led lab kit keeps experiments organized and easy to prepare, so you can spend less time gathering supplies and more time exploring God's remarkable aquatic creatures together. The kit contains small parts and chemicals, is non-returnable, and should always be used with adult supervision.

How to Use Lab Kit for Exploring Creation with Zoology 2, 2nd Edition

Keep the lab kit nearby as you work through Exploring Creation with Zoology 2. When an experiment calls for a specialty item, simply gather the needed pieces from the kit along with any common household supplies or fresh grocery items listed in the lesson.
Read through each experiment before you begin, so everything is within reach. Having the materials ready ahead of time keeps the focus on observing, asking questions, and enjoying the investigation instead of searching for supplies.
After each lab, return the reusable pieces to the kit so they'll be easy to find for the next experiment. A few minutes of organization now will save time throughout the year.
