This page intentionally left blank.

Any question marked Challenge: will be just that—a challenge for your children. While we believe the mate-rial covered in the challenge questions is worthwhile for your children to know, it may not be specifically explained in their reading assignment. As always, if you think any question is too difficult for your children, please feel free to skip.

Please don’t expect your children to write the answers until they gain considerable proficiency at handwriting. We have provided a variety of activities to interest and chal-lenge your children. Feel free to let your children do those activities that he enjoys and simply talk through others.

We have provided space for you to fill in answers as your children respond verbally, or simply check off the items that you discuss.

Remember: This program is designed for you to use to meet your children’s needs. It is not meant to use you!

Suggestion: Your Activity Sheets might work more easily in a small binder for your children to keep and use as assigned. If you have more than one child using this program, extra Activity Sheets can be purchased for each child (Item #DSG41).

Real Science 4 Kids: Biology Level 1

Day

1 1.1–1.2

The book credits Carolus Linneaus as being the founder of taxonomy, but a case can be made for Aristotle (ca. 384–322 B.C.) being the founder of taxonomy. The begin-nings of taxonomy, then, resulted from the interests of an ancient philosopher trying to make organizational sense out of life. It may be better to say that Linneaus refined taxonomy, resulting in its modern scientific form, or that he is the founder of “modern” taxonomy. [p. 3]

Day

1 Activity Sheet Questions #1–3

Note to Mom or Dad: Find each week’s Activity Sheets immediately after the notes and answer the questions assigned on the schedule page. Each Activity Sheet has a corresponding Answer Key page at the end of each week’s notes.

You do not have to do every question on the Activity Sheets. Feel free to adjust and/or omit activities to meet the needs of your children. We cover the same concepts repeatedly throughout the year (and years to come!) to enable students to learn “naturally” through repetition and practice over time.
