A perfect complement to Exploring Creation with Anatomy & Physiology, the Anatomy & Physiology Junior Notebooking Journal provides everything your student needs to complete his study of Anatomy & Physiology. Not only does it include all the fun and creative features of our other Notebooking Journals in the Young Explorer Series, but it also many additional activities, projects and experiments that can be completed in one day or less. 

This Junior Notebooking Journal will serve as your child’s notebook, providing a place for him to complete every assignment in the text.

Each lesson begins with two fun coloring pages for the student to color while he listens to the reading of the text. These pages provide opportunities for active learning while reinforcing the lesson’s content. Following are pages with templates designed to encourage creative expression and written narration. The student can illustrate what he’s learned and write a sentence or two about the topic.

Next, the student is allowed to work with and learn key vocabulary words presented in the text. Included are puzzle piece cut out and match vocabulary activities, partially filled in crosswords, vocabulary stories, plant identification activities and more. These learning activities are not only fun, but they also increase the student’s retention of both the important terms and the subject matter presented in the lessons.

A detailed daily schedule in each of our Notebooking Journals and Junior Notebooking Journals makes planning easier. This schedule lists the pages to read in the textbook and the pages to complete in the journal.
