Description
Video-based course studies God's creation and how it works, providing students with a fascinating look at the solar system, stars, galaxies and more. Focusing on the laws of the stars, or the known facts about astronomy, students examine the scientific evidence to see that the origin of the universe shows the creative work of God. There is a special focus on the science and theories that underscore the big bang and creation origin models. As learners' study what is known about the objects in space, students will see how the big bang model fails, and the creation model aligns with man's observations, confirming the sufficiency of scripture. Workbook activities vary, for example: short answer, true or false, matching, seek-a-word and crossword puzzles, and a few hands-on activities are included. No textbook is required to complete the course, all lessons are taught through the video presentations. Workbooks are not stand-alone. Course requires the Video component.
Publisher's Description of Science Shepherd Astronomy: God's Universe Workbook Level B
The Level B Workbook is the student companion to our astronomy homeschool video curriculum. Used to help students understand the vast universe God created. More advanced than Level A.
Category Description for Science Shepherd Astronomy (Gr. 4-9)
Science Shepherd Astronomy is a video-based astronomy curriculum that explores the solar system, stars, galaxies, and more from a Christian, young-earth creation worldview. Students examine scientific evidence to see how observations of the universe confirm the creative work of God and the sufficiency of Scripture, while comparing the big bang and creation origin models.
The course is designed for upper-elementary through middle school (and beyond) and works well for multi-age learning.
Key Curriculum Features:
- Clear video lessons covering the sun, planets, solar system, stars, galaxies, nebulae, and origins
- Special focus on the scientific merits of the big bang versus the creation model
- Two levels that share core lessons, with Level B offering additional advanced content (dark matter, dark energy, relativity, and more)
- Flexible 36-week schedule suitable for independent study
- Workbook reinforcement through short-answer, true/false, matching, puzzles, and occasional hands-on activities
- No separate textbook required—all instruction is delivered through the videos
Program Components:

- Workbook Level B: Recommended for grades 7–9 and beyond or ages 12+ (more challenging with critical-thinking questions)
