Have you ever wondered if birds get tired of flying or short of breath, or why they sing? Do you know how fast a Peregrine Falcon can fly or how the Arctic Tern knows when it’s time to migrate? Why are flamingos pink? The Book of Birds is a thorough introduction to the fascinating world of our avian friends, covering everything from anatomy and the physics of flight to social habits and habitats. You’ll meet thirty-one of the most common birds in North America, as well as the birds in our Bird Hall of Fame, including the smelliest and smallest birds in the world. The study guide includes comprehension questions, diagrams, and enrichment activities, as well as worksheets for your own field observations. Our Birds Flashcards will help students practice identifying birds on sight. Pair with Tiner’s Exploring the History of Medicine for a full-year science course.

As much as modern science instruction becomes increasingly dominated by a focus on technology and scientific abstractions, teachers, parents, and students will appreciate programs like these that return to the traditional focus on the wonders of nature.

Young students love to study animals. This in-depth study of mammals in grammar school will make for an exciting year.

The Student Workbook will lead your student through The World of Mammals as the primary text, alongside What Is the Animal Kingdom? and What Is a Mammal? Students will study rodents, elephants, primates, marsupials, and much more! In addition to answering comprehension questions, students will also learn by drawing the animals they are studying. The Teacher Guide includes answers to questions, quizzes, and tests.

Watch as your student learns an in-depth amount of information as they journey through the Memoria Press Mammals Set.

Does your student know that the very gift of breath is the result of the oxygen that trees and plants put into the air? Or that trees and plants provide the means of sustenance for all life on earth? The Book of Trees is a reader that goes along with the Student Workbook and Teacher Guide, will teach your student both plant morphology and taxonomy (the different parts and different kinds of plants), as well as photosynthesis and respiration. Other chapters cover flowers and fruits. Add the Peterson First Guide to Trees and The Tree Book for Kids and their Grown Ups to complete the set.

This course includes The Book of Insects, a reader compiled of classic stories written by Arabella Buckley and Julia McNair Wright in the late 1800s. It takes a charmingly narrative approach to the life of insects, and Memoria has written a Student Workbook to go along with it that takes your student through the identification of different kinds of insects, insect anatomy, and more! The Teacher Guide is complete with answers, quizzes, and tests.  Add the Peterson First Guide to Insects and the Insects Flashcards and this year-long course makes for a program your student will love!
