Land Animals Unit

by

Apologia Science is a wildly popular homeschool science curriculum and a great spine for building your science lessons. When my kids were in elementary school we used them, and we I’ve created a lot of lessons for our land animals unit, and I wanted to put them all together in one place rather than scattered all over, so let’s get down to business.

Yes, I did put that earworm in your head too.

Sorry, not sorry.

Resources for your land animals unit

This is going to be a high-level resource, because once you get down into specific units there is a lot more you can get, but here are my big suggestions you’ll want for the whole year:

I’m going to try and roughly organize this in the same order the chapters of the book are organized.

Never mind, while I understand why they organized it that way, I just don’t want to. I’m going to stick with how I originally organized it for my blog.

Land Animals Habitats and More

Well, I added this in as I was starting to sort this out and I realized I had several posts about different habitats for land animals…

Zoo Animals Unit

I went and recreated this list, and then realized I actually had a zoo animals unit landing page I wrote once. Sigh, this is what happens when your blog is over 10 years old.

Now, I need to ask myself if it makes sense to keep it as a separate page or fold it into one giant page. It is like 20 links just for zoo animals and that does get bulky to scroll through.

Huh, I just went and read that post, and wow, I kinda need to update it because I found way more links than are on there.

Of course I wrote it 10 years ago, like literally it was written in 2014, so there are a lot more posts now than when I wrote it.

Okay, my first section is going to be zoo animals. I love to visit the zoo, and this will include animals from most of the chapters in the book because they are sprinkled all throughout these chapters. But if I split it up by chapters, I just don’t have enough to have an entire section just for marsupials. What can I say?

    Farm Animals Unit

    I think I might have even made this into a landing page. Just a moment let me search that up…

    So the answer is yes, yes I did make that a landing page.

    Backyard Animals lessons

    I don’t know quite how to categorize this, so I’m going to call this backyard animals lessons. It makes as much sense as anything else.

    Here’s a question, would you put rabbits as a backyard animal or a farm animal? I just realized it could be on either list.

    Dinosaurs Lessons

    That’s right, dinosaurs are land animals, so we can put them on here. Also, don’t rhinos look kind of like dinosaurs?

    At some point, I should go back to the zoo so I can get more animal pictures. Or just so I can happily sit there and watch the animals. That’s also a good reason.

    What are your favorite animals to study?
