The oceans may well be Earth’s final frontier. These
dark and sometimes mysterious waters cover
71 percent of the surface area of the globe and have
yet to be fully explored. Under the waves, a watery
world of frail splendor, foreboding creatures, vast
mountains, and sights beyond imagination awaits.
Now this powerful resource has been developed for
three educational levels!
Learning about the oceans and their hidden worlds
can be exciting and rewarding — the abundance and
diversity of life, the wealth of resources, the latest
discoveries, and the simple mysteries that have
intrigued explorers and scientists for centuries. A
better understanding of our oceans ensures careful stewardship of their grandeur
and beauty for future generations, and leads to a deeper respect for the delicate
balance of life that God created on planet Earth.
The Wonders of Creation series published by Master Books is a favorite among
many homeschoolers. That is why, with the publisher’s permission, we’ve created
this student notebook that you can use alongside the textbook. It ’s a great way to
help your students go deeper in their understanding and retention of the material
and provides room for notebooking, diagramming, and more.
