Earlier this year I reviewed Your Backyard Monarch DVD from Crowe’s Nest Media. I gave this DVD a glowing review and highly recommended it as a supplement to any homeschool science curriculum. Now, the Crowe Family has produced a downloadable resource to use along with the DVD:

Your Backyard Monarch Companion e-Study Guide – From Crowe’s Nest Media

This amazing resource is over one hundred pages long and is packed from start to finish with many ideas and projects for enriching the DVD viewing experience. I found the study guide colorful, inviting, and multi-leveled. Written from a Christian point of view, this study guide helps families marvel at God’s creation….focusing on the Monarch Butterfly.

You will need a copy of the DVD in order to fully use this Companion e-Study Guide and the author suggests that you view the DVD in full before starting, going back to view sections of the DVD again as you work through the Study Guide.  There are concise Fast Review Facts to summarize the material in each DVD section for easy reference.

• After viewing the indicated sections of the DVD, there are a variety of follow-up activities to choose from depending on your available time and interest.  There truly is something for every age in the Study Guide.
• Learning Pages – vocabulary, coloring pages, copywork (Biblical), maps.  Additional review questions are in a variety of forms: fill-in-the-blanks, T/F, diagrams to label. Many of the review questions can be done as oral narration. An answer key is provided in the back of the Study Guide.  For older students, the Study Guide has suggestions for further study.
• Monarch Mini-Book – All components are provided to print and make into your own mini-book with information from the DVD.
  

  Make Your Own Monarch Lapbook

• Lapbook – Printable clever and informational lapbook projects are included to cement the main ideas from the DVD.
• Notebooking pages – Complete sets of Monarch themed notebooking pages are included in the Study Guide for use along with the Learning Pages for copywork, vocabulary, and for further study options. (Two complete sets with varying sizes of lines for younger and older students are included.)

Highlights of the Your Backyard Monarch Companion e-Study Guide

• Appropriate for families using the guide with a variety of ages of students.
• Flexibility to use the Study Guide for a long afternoon of learning or spread out over several weeks.
• Activities to extend the Monarch Butterfly study to other areas of science like botany and ecology.
• Activities to fit every style of learning, plenty of hands-on learning, and extended nature study with projects and citizen science suggestions.

I would love to personally thank the Crowe Family for their dedication to not only entertaining us with their beautiful visual display of God’s creation, but also helping us become thoroughly educated about the magnificent Monarch Butterfly. This Companion e-Study Guide is going to provide many families with the ability to extend the learning past the last minutes of the Your Backyard Monarch DVD.
