WHAT’S IT ABOUT
We’ve seen just about every textbook and curriculum there is on biology, mammalogy, zoology, the animal kingdom (etc). Each one of them bored us to tears (and our kids, as well). Then, we stepped into the world of real zoologists. We learned what they do, day in and day out, and how fascinating and truly captivating their career is! The contrast between real life and the textbooks… it was devastating. What a tragedy that until now there was nothing out there which captured the absolute awe and wonder of the zoologist career field. So can it be done? Is it possible to teach ALLLL of the science and terminology needed for true education, WITHOUT sounding like a dry textbook that steals your passion? Is it possible to step into the world of a specialist who spends their life studying and researching animals in all their splendor? Is it possible to have a curriculum that teaches MORE than most, while diving into conservation, ethology, environmental ecology, and the science behind it all? Is it really possible to travel to Africa throughout the lessons’ living story and discover the ins and outs of your favorite animals… with hands-on, real-world application? IT IS! And we’ve done it! We’ve done it in 12 lessons, too (and we covered over 68 different species!)! This unit is CRAM PACKED with activity options, as well. Most of them require nothing more than items from around your home. They are activities which turn you into a real zoologist, with our resources. You do NOT want to miss these! Whether you have an animal lover, a student who needs a biology credit, or a child wanting to become a zoologist…. YOU NEED THIS UNIT! You will see our Core Connections have AMAZING history that takes us back in time to Africa during the Antiquity period. Our language arts project is learning how to be a GREAT note taker, which is absolutely something you want every child and adult to learn! See the sample pages below! This is going to be your favorite unit, yet!

CAMPFIRE STANDARDS
Our units are taught through living book format.They are applicable to all age levels, pre-reader to adult. If you would like to see how we adjust each level for difficulty (while allowing the whole family to come together), please visit this page HERE.
AUDIO DETAILS:
The audio recording will consist of the main lesson portions of the Growing and Advanced guidebooks (black font) as well as some bonus readings of SYW pages. The main recording will consist of all of the main lesson content. This recording will obviously not include things like activity directions, “notes to parents,” different-colored font in the side bar (which is for independent study), side box definitions, etc.
How to purchase if you have a Campfire Credit Currency balance:
Some customers have built up Campfire Credit Currencies from prior summer sales. Our system does not allow combined “Credit Currency” and “debit card” payments. Since the audio recording cannot be purchased with a credit currency, you will need to do separate transactions or your debit card will be charged for the full balance of whatever is in your cart at checkout. As such, you would merely purchase the regular units with your Campfire Currency (if you haven’t already), and then purchase the audio download individually, as a separate transaction with your debit card.
Required for Audio:
You are only able to purchase the individual audio recording if you have already purchased the unit. The audio recording is intended to be used along WITH the unit. Otherwise, you will miss the visuals (like maps and graphs, which aid in teaching), any associated Cool Teacher Moments, the special side boxes, definition boxes, etc! We will still have little “beeps” throughout the recording to get your attention for when to look at the guidebook for note taking, but those are intended as helpful guides. We do not recommend listening to the recording without following along in the guidebook, especially for aid in memory retention and understanding.

This is not your average unit study! I was immediately hooked from the very first lesson! I love that they are willing to broach difficult subjects in ethics. There are no right or wrong answers, but lots of questions that open up amazing conversations with our kids.
My kids were asking for more info on Annelids, and when they went into the library last week, my 7yr old asked the librarian for a book about Cephalopods. At which my 5yr old comes over, and says, “Yes! Definitely Cephalopods!” Needless to say, she was quite impressed that they actually knew what they were talking about!
