Justin and Josiah's Lapbooks!

As promised, here are photos of Justin and Josiah's lapbooks. They were to present their report to students in their Science co-op class. Justin decided to do his report about the praying mantis.



In addition to bringing the lapbook, he brought his mantis to class. The students were fascinated by the size of the insect!




Josiah did a fine job of presenting his report. He decided to share his research about the ants. They intrigue him to no end!

My Triple Lapbook

I've been checking out fun sites about lapbooking! Thought that I would give it a try and teach it to my sons so that we could use it for some of our science studies. In our homeschool co-op group, we were studying about grasshoppers. To learn about the inner parts, we ordered lubber grasshoppers and dissecting kits from science home.









Above is the science lapbook that I created. It is made on a high school level. The flaps are open in the center.


Below, the middle flaps are closed. More photos and information is added. (Click on photos to enlarge.)

On the outer pages of the lapbook, I've added a small mini book with grasshopper facts on the left, and grasshopper recipes to the right. Yum-yum!!! (giggles) One of the lovely parents (Anna) in the co-op group made chocolate covered grasshoppers. I brought mine home. It is in the freezer. I'm still trying to build up the nerve to taste it. Woof!
