For some of you, this will be easy! You love animals and know all about this stuff already, so have fun! There may be a lot of new words for some of you, but like I said, you’ll get used to them throughout the year. Animal classification is what we’ll be looking at first.You described a bird so that when you come across a new animal you can see if it fits the description. You’ve probably heard the word bird, right? Of course! Well, what makes a bird a bird? How would you describe a bird? They are the words that describe how animals are classified. You will learn them better as we go through the year. Don’t worry if you don’t learn them today.
Before we start learning about specific animals, I’m going to throw some words your way.Animals are amazing and they are all so unique because our God is amazing and creative! You’ll learn how they each have special strengths, defenses, and abilities. Zoology is part of biology, but there are SOOOO many animals that have so many neat things about them.Do you see the word ZOO in the title of this page? The suffix -OLOGY means “the study of.” What do you think “zoo” refers to? Animals, of course! So, zoology is the study of animals.Levels 1 – 4 print (be sure to print SINGLE-SIDED).Now’s the time to decide if you want to print out the worksheets you’ll be using in this course (now or as they come up in the course) or if you want to buy a workbook of all the printables.If you didn’t get here through My EP Assignments, I suggest you go there and create an account.Just stay focused on your lesson and then close that window and you should be right back here for the next lesson.
