© 2011 Blossom Barden, North Laurel Home & School These notebooking pages were created by Blossom Barden for North Laurel Home & School. They may be reproduced by anyone for use in home or school. They may be altered to suit individual needs/wants with the exception of the image on the front cover; it must not be altered and must be credited to “© 2007 Blossom Barden” as the creator of image. All other images are in the public domain. These pages were created for a student who is in middle school. Some of the words or activities may not be grade/age appropriate for younger students.

Created using Power Point 2010 In the Power Point version: To change each page, click on the image, shape, or text that you would like to change. Page numbers are included on each page but to remove, simply click on the number and delete. Suggestions for some pages are also included, in the Notes section below the slide. To remove, highlight and delete. I’ve tried to keep them from being lengthy or distracting, and are of course simply suggestions. For PDF version: Unfortunately, the only way that I know of to be able to change a PDF document is to have the software (not free) from Adobe. Or you may be able to convert the PDF to a word document (or other format) for editing purposes. Suggested uses are on the final page before the extra notebook pages. I hope that these pages are helpful in some way to those using The Story Book of Science by Jean Henri Fabre. Please feel free to pass this along to any one else that would benefit or enjoy it. Do not alter or copy as your own the image on the front cover. It may be used but must be attributed to me: ©2007 Blossom Barden

“There are people who, well fed themselves, think everybody else has dined. They are called egoists. God forbid your ever bearing that sorry name, of which the ant, paltry little creature, would be ashamed!”

“Let us say that one plant-louse produces ten…Each of these ten plant-lice borne by the first one bears ten more, making one hundred in all; each of these hundred bears ten, in all ten thousand; and so on, multiplying always by ten, eleven times.”

“Let us remain small; that is to say, let us content ourselves with the little God has given us; let us beware of the temptations of envy, the foolish counsels of pride; let us be full of activity, of work, and not of ambition. That is the only way we are permitted to hope for length of days.”
