Exploring Creation with Zoology 3, 2nd edition

Packed with vivid photos and a variety of hands-on activities and experiments that bring Zoology to life, the student textbook provides engaging hands-on activities to bring learning to life.

Some of the activities and experiments your student will complete in this course are playing a predator with colored candies that hide in camouflage, acting like a primate to judge depth perception, discovering why giraffes have high blood pressure, identifying animal tracks, dissecting owl pellets and its last meal, and much more!

All activities and projects in this course use easy-to-find household items and truly make the lessons fun!


Zoology involves much more than just animals! This is why, in Apologia’s Zoology 3 course, your student will be taken on an adventure around the Earth’s biomes to explore and understand land animals and the environments they live in. They’ll explore jungles, deserts, forests, and farms and even venture into their own backyard to investigate and enjoy the creatures God has created.
