Apologia Zoology 3 Land Animals Extras
The recommendation in Apologia’s Zoology 3 is to do one (or more) of several long term, on-going project. This is just what we’ll do in our homeschool. However, I also appreciate a project here and there to choose from. There weren’t as many of those sprinkled throughout this book — so I found some! Here are suggested projects to go with each chapter, except 12:
