W is for Waves: An Ocean Alphabet Free Notebooking Pages

W is for Waves: An Ocean Alphabet is a wonderful way to study the many aspects of the Ocean.

W is for Waves: An Ocean Alphabet  has beautiful illustrations as well as engaging information about ocean life. This would make a wonderful unit study! Add in hands on projects, experiments or Inquiry based work - (here is my Pinterest Board to get you started) and this would round out a very interesting and diverse study.

I read this book on EPIC! EPIC! is a wonderful way to access many different books including ones in a read along format. I have been enjoying reading a wide variety of books as I prepare for next year's teaching and creating more resources for you!

These W is for Waves Free Notebooking Pages that I have provided have pages with images as well as plain pages without images. I have allowed space for drawing and for writing. I hope that these pages will bless your homeschool!

I hope to do more of these A-Z pages on a variety of topics.

Blessings! Natalie

Fetal Pig Dissection

For the past two days Elizabeth has had the benefit of taking part in a fetal pig dissection. Though this, for me as I remember, happened in Grade 12 Biology class it was a "carpe diem" kind of choice to go and be part of the class. 

The instructor, a retired 30 year Biology teacher, guided the students through the process of dissection and examining the parts of the fetal pig. They had alot of freedom to explore over the two days, but it was rushed to learn about all of the parts of the pig and each section of the dissection process. 

Some of the students were adding on a third day, which would have been great, but we had to head home. 

It was great to see Elizabeth and her lab partners work together on this project. It became Dr. Jonah and Nurse Elizabeth forging ahead with their patient "Leonard". 
I think they all learned alot about anatomy from this, as well as many of the processes and skills that this type of lab work provides. It was a great opportunity and well worth the drive!!
