TOS Review :E-Book: The Curiosity Files™- Zombie Fire Ants



I love doing Unit studies with Princess Belle. She gets such a kick out of them and it is a fun way for her to learn. We were given the opportunity to review the E-Book: The Curiosity Files™- Zombie Fire Ants.


Princess Belle loved the idea that it was about ZOMBIE ants and she really enjoyed the unit! It was a fun way to begin our year back at homeschooling.
It really is a FUN unit study that is technically for kids ages 8 to13 but really it is applicable for students of all ages.

We had fun as we began to dig into the awe-inspiring yet peculiar (and gross) limited life of zombie fire ants. From learning about scientific research and natural habitats to animal classification, I really learned as much as Princess Belle did.

We really had fun having the chance to study stinging insects and the likes of zombie-monster creatures too!

With the Zombie Fire Ants we covered questions like:

* When out of control, how can scientists restore balance to the natural world?
* What’s so special about phorid flies, and how do they fit into the ant equation?
* Okay, so how does a fire ant morph from a hard-working colony participant into a zombie-like creature?
* If regular fire ants cause havoc, why create a zombie version?
* And a whole lot more!

The Curiosity Files really are great, they are amazing visually and the conversational-style content pulled us right in.

And as Princess Belle is always a hands on type of girl, she really enjoyed being given a chance to use her acquired knowledge by observing ants up close in a handmade ant farm. The crafts, recipes, and activities were a lot of fun for her.

Since she is Autistic I found that the way that the activities were a mix of visual regions, auditory regions, touch regions, and motor skill regions helped her to really retain what she was learning.
