Christian Kids Explore Biology

This year we're starting a new science curriculum, Christian Kids Explore Biology.  I'm excited for it.  I like the way it's written and I think it's doable with the rest of what we're tackling this year.

I'm getting ready this morning for unit 1.  A friend of mine mentioned that her goal is to make all the copies she needs for the next month.  I thought that was an awesome idea.  But, I know I don't have the planning time Here are the resources that I needed this morning.  I'm going to add to this post what I need as we go, in case it might be helpful to someone else.

Extra Needed Resources:

First, I made a worksheet in Word that listed all the biomes and asked for a short description.

These sites can be used for kids' research:

Food Web worksheet:

It is hard to find sites appropriate for kids without a lot of advertising, but these sites seemed pretty good from my quick glance at them.
