The Exploring Creation with Earth Science 2nd Edition Set includes the core Textbook and consumable Notebooking Journal, which provides all the print resources for a successful year of elementary science. The weekly schedule, which is found in the Notebooking Journal, provides parents with a 2-lessons-per-week schedule for a 28-week school year. The hands-on activities require additional, easy-to-find supplies. For your convenience, we do offer an Exploring Creation with Earth Science Lab Kit with most of the necessary supplies; you will need to provide some household items. New activity videos are available at the Apologia website for an additional fee. The publisher states that the 1st edition and 2nd edition courses are not compatible.
