Catch of the Day Knowledge Gateways

Additional Catch of the Day Resources

Are you a homeschooler or a parent who helps in your child’s (childrens’) educational progress? Congratulations! And welcome to Catch of the Day Knowledge Gateways.

Here you will discover the wealth of practical knowledge contained within the pages of Catch of the Day. This free resource will help you to locate and reinforce those lessons woven throughout Catch of the Day which you’d like to help your young Catch of the Day reader grasp more fully. (For a brief introduction to Catch of the Day, please visit the Catch of the Day home page)

An example of BioFables’ 5-tier knowledge category structure:

      • 1. Core Disciplines: Sciences, Humanities, Values/Behaviors
      • 2. Knowledge Gateways (Color-coded examples: Earth/Space Science, History, Ethics/Morals)
        • 3.  Discovery Paths (Example: Geology, a Discovery Path of Earth/Space Science)
          • 4. Discovery Path Branches (Example: Geysers, a Discovery Path Branch of Geology)
            • 5. Knowledge Nuggets: Titles of specific mini- or pop-up lessons (Example: Geyser ingredients)

You and your young readers likely will be most interested in Tier 5, Knowledge Nuggets. The 5-tier structure will be helpful in tracing lessons back through the earlier tiers to their learning origins.


NOTE: Please be aware that tiers 2-5  are unique to each book; category names typically use words that children would understand (e.g. plants), rather than formal terminology (e.g. botany). In addition, the following lists and tables do not represent a complete list of Sciences, Humanities and Values/Behaviors categories, but rather those that specifically appear in Catch of the Day.


Site Tips offers more insights into how you can use the tables, lists and other resources of this website to help you to help your children uncover the secrets of about 100 lessons scattered throughout each BioFables book.

The four sets of tables and lists on this page have been designed to help your children derive the greatest benefit from reading Catch of the Day:

      1. Catch of the Day Overview: Sciences, Humanities, Values/Behaviors
      2. Sciences content in Catch of the Day
      3. Humanities content in Catch of the Day
      4.  Values/Behaviors content in Catch of the Day

Catch of the Day Overview

TABLE 1, Catch of the Day Overview, is arranged chapter-by-chapter. It’s a good place to get a mental picture of  the entire book, especially the chapter descriptions and links to additional resources (child-friendly links are in orange). This table incorporates the three Core Disciplines, their Knowledge Gateways and Discovery Paths (Tiers 1-3).

The rows in the left column of the table, highlighted in light green, show the Chapter number and the chapter’s pages; following the highlighted row is a quick chapter overview and occasional resource links to relevant sites for further investigation (links to child-friendly sites are in orange).

The right column rows, highlighted in light green, show the chapter’s title. The chapter’s color-coded Knowledge Gateways, with their associated Discovery Paths, appear beneath each chapter title.
