Exploring Creation with General Science from Apologia
is a student’s first middle school science course. This foundational course
teaches the three branches of science while helping students develop important
independent learning skills, scientific thinking, and a biblical worldview.
Students explore a wide range of topics including astronomy,
geology, paleontology, meteorology, oceanography, marine science, life science,
environmental science, and a basic overview of chemistry, physics, and biology.
The course also covers the history of science, scientific inquiry, the
scientific method, documenting and interpreting experimental results, and
scientific analysis. Anatomy is intentionally not covered to avoid overlap with
the Young Explorer series Anatomy and Physiology course.
