My Review:
This Ecology text has been developed with 3 educational levels in mind. You can use it in a classroom, independent study, or homeschool setting. So it is all three different levels combined in one handy book.
Level One is a basic level suitable for younger readers usually the 5th-6th grade levels. It includes the building memories and wonder why segments.
Level Two is suitable for the middle aged student that is in the 7th or 8th grade level. This middle level digs deeper into ecological issues related to today's environmental issues and focuses on words to know and practical applications.
Level Three is a level that focuses on the high school grades 9th-11th. This upper level incorporates concepts and theories related to all subject matter included in the text as well as unique information within the dig deeper sections.
Master Books has taken the study of Ecology and combined God's creation within its text to create something very unique and easy to understand. There are beautiful, real life photographs on each page. Each chapter contains the "Big Five" the who, what, where, why and how. So each chapter answers each of these questions. There are words to know lists and appendixes available for further study. As well as a glossary for any of those words that are hard to understand words. There are also pages full of additional resources to expand on the lessons.
As a homeschool book, this Ecology curriculum is something short, sweet and simple and easy to incorporate into any homeschool family.
