Apologia’s Swimming Creatures of the Fifth Day invites families to explore the fascinating aquatic creatures God created on the fifth day of Creation. From the moment whales, plankton, turtles, dolphins, and sharks filled the seas at God’s command, the waters teemed with life and joy. This book guides students through an engaging study of marine animals—from whales and dolphins to seals, manatees, sea turtles, snakes, and even ancient reptiles like the plesiosaurus. Learners will then dive into the world of fish, sharks, crustaceans, and mollusks, meeting creatures such as crabs, clams, squids, and nautiluses. The adventure continues with corals, starfish, sea anemones, sand dollars, and sponges, revealing the diversity and beauty of ocean life, from microscopic organisms to massive sea giants.
Hands-on learning brings these studies to life as students create replicas of animals and display them in an “Ocean Box,” a handmade miniature aquarium. Each lesson concludes with an experiment or project emphasizing the scientific method. Activities include testing blubber’s insulation, investigating shark senses, exploring whale communication, and studying the formation of fossils. Through these explorations, students gain a deeper appreciation for marine science and marvel at God’s creativity in designing the wondrous creatures that swim in the ocean, as described on the fifth day.
