Why is a giraffe's neck so tall? Why do zebras have stripes? Did all of these things happen by accident? When John and Sarah visit the zoo, they ask these questions and many more. Their parents and the zookeepers keep using the word design, but what does that mean? With its relevant message and exciting presentation, this is the perfect book to help introduce children to intelligent design. Come find out in Amazing Animals by Design by Debra Haagen!

Theory of Intelligent Design Lapbooks available



If a man is walking through the woods and finds a perfectly-functioning pocket watch lying on a stump, does he assume that the random forces of nature placed all of the parts together in exactly the right places to form a sophisticated time-piece, or does he assume that a clock-maker has passed that way before? This question, posed by natural theologian William Paley circa 1802, has led to the modern study of intelligent design. What is the study of intelligent design? Where can a student find resources to understand this subject?

Check out my new unit studies over at Knowledge Box Central! Versions available for all grade levels.  Click banner below to go to the website:



Yes, my lapbooks with study guides are finally complete and published at Knowledge Box Central!  This product for K-8th grades includes lapbook templates as well as a complete study guide.  You may spend anywhere from one to six weeks with your students getting an overview or getting more in-depth learning about intelligent design theory.  Available as an ebook for just $5, digital version on CD, printed version, or even as a fully assembled lapbook that you just fill in.



For high schoolers, there are lapbook journaling pages to assist students in note-taking while working through the unit.  Both products use the SAME study guide so that you can work through this unit as a family.  Further resources are provided to make this study a one-semester science credit (50 hours) for high schoolers.



This is a brand new product and my first lapbook unit study, so I would welcome feedback, reviews, and/or pictures of the completed lapbook from anyone who uses it!  You may reach me at debrahaagen (at) gmail (dot) com.

View a sample file of the product at Knowledge Box Central.

Also, when you purchase the lapbook with study guide in any form, email me your receipt to receive $2 off the PDF version of Amazing Animals by Design.

The Notebooking Journal Is Complete!



The high school notebooking journal has been completed and turned in.  We now await the tweaking from the editors!

This 63-page (before editing anyway) study guide may be used for a 1- to 6-week overview of the theory of intelligent design, or for up to a half high-school credit in science if you wish to obtain the additional texts and complete all assignments.  I hope it will be helpful to homeschoolers and others who have wanted to study the theory of intelligent design and did not know where to start.

Follow me here to be the first to know when it is available!
