LAPBOOK: Chemistry

 We took over a year to make this lapbook.  The unit study and printables can be found HERE.  We went through the book Christian Kids Explore Chemistry and as we came to appropriate sections, would complete the section and mini book from the unit study.  We also did some extra experiments, took photos and did a mini book on them.  Some of our mini books we made up ourselves but most are from the free one online.  Once we were done with our chemistry study, we had an envelope full of mini books to put into the lapbook.  We also printed off several photos, charts and graphs to include.  This is the biggest and most complete lapbook we've ever done. It was lots of fun and is now a great tool for review for ClaireAnna.  Click on the photos to enlarge.

This middle section contains several mini reports of important chemists.
On the right is a time line of their lives and a map showing country of origin. 

We learned about molecules, atoms and nano particles.

We learned what every bit of information on the periodic table stands for. 

We learned all about the different sections of the periodic table. 

 This pocket contains pictures of molecules made with this molecule kit.
On the back is the name of the molecule in words and symbols. 

BIOLOGY

In August of 2009, ClaireAnna and I started this book. It’s a full year course on Biology from a Christian perspective for grades 3-6. You adjust the work for the grade you are teaching.

We worked through the the text and filled this binder with color pages, experiments, quizzes, diagrams, drawings and lots of other things. It’s a fat binder and it’s full!

This past summer, ClaireAnna participated in a week long science camp on the human body, put on by our local university. It fit right in with our biology study. This fall, we took some extra time to review the Human Body and study it more in depth with this book.

The last unit in the biology text was on Water Creatures and since ClaireAnna LOVES Sharks, we took some extra time to study them more in depth and make this lapbook.

ClaireAnna wants you to know that sharks don’t eat people on purpose. They don’t even like the taste. Sharks can’t help it if you look like a seal!

So, we’ve finished Biology! It’s been so much fun! For the remainder of this school year, we’ll study Chemistry with this book! ClaireAnna can’t wait to do all the experiments and learn about matter, molecules, atoms, elements, reactions and all the rest! She LOVES science!
