Category Description for Story of Science (Joy Hakim)

Weaving together the advances of civiliza­tions and the discoveries of scientific thinkers, The Story of Science by Joy Hakim captivates the reader with histor­ical writings and scientific facts. The course introduces little-known scientific pioneers and other historical events for deeper context. In the first book, various civilizations’ creation myths are examined (except Genesis) and a secular viewpoint is assumed. Evolutionary theory is not prominent.

Components include the richly illustrated Text along with Teacher Guide and Student Quest Guide for the first two books. Easy to follow, they round out the textbooks with thought-provoking ques­tions, hands-on experiments, timeline activ­ities, cross-curricular suggestions and more. Teacher Guides include planning tips, activ­ities, discussion questions, assessments and answers. Student Guides contain a variety of writing activities, scientist information sheets, and experiment worksheets. All three texts are needed for one year of study.
