Download N Go Homeschool Unit Studies

I’ve never really purchased any unit study kits. Usually I hodge podge them together with items around the house. And I’ve never really lapbooked in the traditional sense. Usually we journal and color and cut and paste into a spiral notebook, but when I was given the opportunity to review Download N Go unit lapbook kit, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity.

Upon opening the PDF file on Whales, I was immediately impressed with the colors and graphics. Definitely eye pleasing, but not having experience with download unit studies I started to wonder if I was suppose to print out the entire 80 page unit. That would mean a lot of ink. Probably more than I’d spend if I just bought a paper copy of the unit study.

As I read through the well thought out curriculum, I loved the video links included and the suggested reading to enhance the study. There were even handy links for lapbook beginners. So the definite plus of a downloadable are all the links to enhance the study on the computer.

The unit study is probably for younger aged kids, 3rd grade and lower and it’s put together nicely with daily to dos and suggestions, plus questions for your children to answer on the printable pages. There are also activities that will eventually go in the lap books, but I’m still figuring out what I should print out and what I can save ink on. I guess for me, I might have preferred more coloring pages then full blown color graphics.

One neat feature is that occasionally the unit study will tell you click over to the lapbook for an activity. Maybe that’s when I should print out the page. And then on the activity page it will have a link where you can click back to where you were in your study.

Like I said, I’m knew to online lapbooking, but to me this seems like an individual project the child sits down at the computer to do by himself. At least, that’s the best way to take advantage of all the links. But I’m going to attempt to tackle it with two children at at time!

Here’s more information:

Each day for 5 days, your students will meet and learn about a different whale and enjoy creative lapbooking fun. There are science discoveries, such as learning about whale and human anatomy, and history investigations, learning about Creation and the Bible story of Jonah. Geography lessons will introduce the oceans making the study of whales quite interesting! Plus there are writing prompts, crafts, games, a wonderful choice of books to complement this study, and many coloring/activity pages.
