Category Description for Novare Physical Science

Novare Physical Science is well illustrated and packed with concise information to help students really get to know the area of physical science. Following the Novare Middle School Science sequence, Physical Science will be studied in 7th grade, however, it can be used successfully in grades 6-8. Using a mastery approach, students learn fewer topics in more depth than typical courses and review previously learned key concepts. Along with physical science topics, grade level mathematics, the history behind the science, written and verbal English language skills are integrated. Students are taught to see God in creation, while learning current secular scientific theories including the evolutionary theory. The authors do ascribe to the current secular geological timeline and age of earth. Required components include the Textbook and Digital Resources. Components sold separately or packaged together as the Physical Science Program.  An optional helpful Lab Kit is sold separately.
