This year we are doing zoology and using Lyrical Life Science and lapbooks to work through and learn the different animal groups. If you want a complete list of our plan, see my sidebar under "School Plans 2009-2010". We started out doing an overview of invertebrates. There are a lot of phyla of invertebrates (i.e. mollusks, poriferans, worms, etc.). We then moved on to vertebrates. So far we have done fish, amphibians, and reptiles which are all cold-blooded. We finished birds last week which are warm-blooded and started mammals this week. The different orders of mammals will last us for the rest of the year! This week we studied monotremes (egg-laying mammals...the platypus and the echidna). Did you know that the platypus has venom and that the echidna has a pouch? We are learning all kinds of things about God's amazing creation! Next week we will move onto marsupials.

What great lapbooks Debbie. I am so bad lately about completing ANYTHING I begin. Thanks for linking to Homeschool Happenings!
