BJU Exploring Science Activities and Lab Manual is divided into two parts. Part One (green color-coded pages) has a plethora of engaging activities to reinforce learning in each chapter. Students may fill in a web diagram, draw pictures, summarize information, answer questions, and much more! Part Two (blue color-coded pages) includes all the labs. Labs might be inquiry-based labs where students direct the investigation of a topic or STEM labs that allow students to model what real-world engineers do by attempting to solve challenging problems. Answers to the activity sheets and labs are in the Activities Answer Key & Teacher Lab Manual. ~ Gina

Category Description for Science 6 (5th Edition)
BJU Press Grade 6 Exploring Science is a lab-based curriculum using a biblical framework to study a variety of subjects related to physical science, life science, and earth science. Students evaluate models used to classify living things, investigate the relationships between forces, motion, and energy, and analyze how cellular structure and genetics affect a species' survival and reproduction, while expanding their scientific inquiry, discovery, and STEM skills.
This new 5th edition has several changes. Six physical science chapters were added. An essential question(s) and a vocabulary list begin each chapter to help students see the overall idea of the chapter. Case studies, connection features, career boxes, and worldview investigations have been added. A mini lab activity (separate from activities in the lab manual) has been included in each chapter. Ethic boxes have ethical dilemmas related to current topics in science with the purpose of students formulating a biblical understanding of issues and applying it. Engaging characters from the Pine Street Post (Jaden, Mia, and Sofia along with mentor, Manuel, and teacher, Mrs. Jefferson) discuss the biblical worldview aspects of different topics. Each section has a review and chapters end with a summary and review. ~ Gina
