Ornithology Learning Packet is a Christian homeschooler’s guide to teaching elementary science with biblical principles, written by Raquel Werk. Birds are all around us, and they reflect the wisdom and creativity of God. In this study, children learn to name, describe and reason through the details of how God designed birds, connecting His creation with biblical truth about His beauty, creativity and purpose.

“But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you.” Job 12:7

What’s inside: 8 lessons
