Exploring Creation with Zoology 1 - Lab Kit

This lab kit, designed to accompany Apologia's Exploring Creation with Zoology 1, contains the items you need to complete each experiment and activity--all in one convenient location!  Using the items in this kit, students will be able to see caterpillars grow into butterflies, observe ants in a homemade ant farm, and display interesting insect specimens. It is certain to enhance students' learning experiences by ensuring that all hands-on activities can be successfully completed (without a scavenger hunt before each one!).  And you'll be saving money, since items won't need to be purchased in bulk (for example, buying an entire box of cheesecloth when only a small 6x6" square is required)!  Items are packaged in individual lesson packs for ease of use.  See the following table for a list of items included in this lab:

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-This kit contains small parts. Not for children under 3 years.
