At the heart of Generations Science: God Made
Series is the unwavering worldview that God Made all things. From the very
first course, God Made
Everything, children are introduced to the awe-inspiring world of God’s
creation. Each course should be completed in one school year, and a suggested
daily schedule is included. Once children are introduced to the breadth of
God’s creation in first grade, topics vary by grade level.
Full-color Textbooks are written using age-appropriate text
and references, which is well-appreciated in the elementary Textbook, God Made Me, which
introduces anatomy to children. The texts also include vibrant photographs and
illustrations, colorful diagrams, and cute cartoon characters. Relevant
Scripture references, hymns, and prayers are found throughout. Scripture is
integral at all grade levels. A three-day per week suggested schedule is
included in the Textbook for Grades 1-3. Beginning in Grade 4, the suggested
schedule (5 days per week) is found in the Student Workbook.
Consumable Activity Books or Workbooks provide a variety of
activities. Depending on the grade level, activities vary, from hands-on
experiments to study questions, observation exercises, and spiritual life
applications. Answers (where appropriate) are included in the back of the
Activity Books and Workbooks Activity. Books and Workbooks are not
reproducible. Each grade-level Text and Activity Book or Workbook is available
in a convenient Set. We also offer the Student Activity Book or Workbook
separately for families that are teaching children of similar ages.
