We love adding lapbook projects to our homeschool studies so
we were really excited to receive the ExploringCreation with Human Anatomy and Physiology Lapbook from A Journey Through Learning Lapbooks and look forward to using more of their Apologia Exploring Creation Lapbooks.
The term “lapbook” was first coined by Tammy Duby, a
homeschool mother and writer from Virginia, USA. She named it that because the
whole project could fit into a “book” that fits in the child’s lap. A lapbook
is a single-subject book created by a student, generally as a supplement to a
curriculum. A lapbook consists of file folders with mini-booklets glued inside.
Lapbooks can be used for any subject and any grade level. I use lapbooks with
my students to enhance creativity and critical thinking while integrating
subjects such as Bible, language arts, science, history, geography, and
mathematics, depending on the subject of the lapbook.
To create the Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and
Physiology Lapbook, you will need the following materials: a printed copy of
the Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology Lapbook digital
download by A Journey Through Learning, the Exploring Creation with Human
Anatomy and Physiology textbook by Apologia Educational Ministries, fourteen
file folders, scissors, glue, stapler, brads, and colored pencils.
This lapbook is designed to be completed with the Exploring
Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology textbook. There are fourteen lessons
in the textbook. Students will create one lapbook per lesson, making it a total
of fourteen file folders to complete this lapbook. Gather your file folders and
fold them so that they will be ready to use as you get to each lesson.
This lapbook includes directions for folding the file
folders, directions for constructing each mini-booklet, pages to read from the
Exploring Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology textbook, and what your
student will record in the mini-booklet after reading to show what is learned.
A small key is provided to show you where to glue each mini-booklet into the
file folders. This lapbook also includes an answer key, additional reading
suggestions for each lesson, and enrichment pages.
Throughout this course, students will take a voyage through
the skeletal, muscular, respiratory, digestive, circulatory, immune, and
nervous systems. They will study nutrition, health, and embryology to see what
makes each of us a unique creation of God. Psalm 139:14 reads “I will praise
thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and
that my soul knoweth right well.” From head to toe, this course is a personal
encounter with God’s design for the human body.
This lapbook has been a great supplement to the Exploring
Creation with Human Anatomy and Physiology textbook! My sixth grader loves
hands-on learning and this lapbook has expanded her knowledge of human anatomy
and physiology. We have created several lapbooks throughout our homeschool
years, and I must say, A Journey Through Learning Lapbooks has done an
exceptional job in creating each mini-booklet for this course.
