Explore God's glory on display as you study embark on a
scientific study of oceans, astronomy, weather, minerals, caves, fossils, and
more. Each one-year survey course is built around full-color, captivating books
that introduce students to earth and physical science topics. Each of the
hardcover books are well-researched and written, teaching scientific facts and
principles that affirms God as Creator. While these books are a wealth of
information on their own, the addition of the course Teacher Guide transforms
these books into a captivating survey of general science. The Teacher Guide
for each course includes a suggested daily schedule, reproducible (for your
family) worksheets and quizzes/tests, and the answer key. Lessons will take
about 30-45 minutes each, 5 days per week.
