We did Apologia Astronomy two years ago, and I remember downloading a free PDF for a notebooking journal. I used the free download for my then 6yo, and purchased the Jr. Notebooking Journal for my then 7yo. For the life of me, I cannot find that link! We are starting Botany in 10 days, and I’m looking for the free, downloadable PDF for that text, but cannot find it either. Has Apologia taken that resource off their site, or am I looking in the wrong place?
Actually, suzukimom, I had no idea that existed, so thank you for pointing out that fabulous extra! I guess I need to work on my habit of observation, otherwise I would have missed a wonderful little detail. Unfortunately, it’s not what I’m looking for. The PDF I mentioned is basically blank notebooking pages that you can print out for free. The link for the PDF was located on the same page as the link to purchase the Jr. Notebooking Journal, but it specified that there was a difference in the two.
Perhaps this is only a feature of the Astronomy curriculum?
Lindsey, I seem to remember reading somewhere that Apologia has phased out the free note booking pages on their site to encourage using the notebooks. However, I also seem to remember reading that the yahoo group still has some.
I wish I had links to guide you. Sadly, it’s just stuff rattling around in my brain.
Near the front of the book should be a password that will allow you to access the free notebooking pages. In my Swimming Creatures book it’s right at the end of the Introduction section. The same thing happened to me. I downloaded the set for Flying Creatures without the password from the product discription page on the website, but by the time I got to Swimming Creatures they had moved that resource to the password protected course website. It is the exact same PDF as the one that used to be publically available. I don’t know about the yahoo group, though.
4myboys, I tried that. I saw many resources, lesson by lesson, such as experiments, extra reading, and more, but I did not find notebooking PDFs. I did find the password in the introduction, but it did not get me where I wanted to go. This is frustrating, isn’t it!?
On the Swimming Creatures website it is under “General Resources for the whole book” (right above Lesson 1). I click on that and it takes me to another directory of links. Notebooking pages was about the 5th or 6th link down.
