Master’s Class science courses from Master Books
cover foundational concepts and applications, all while keeping God and the
Bible in the equation.
The Student Text pages are visually appealing with
colorful pictures, photos, and illustrations. Chapters are divided into
bite-size chunks of information. Bible verses from NKJV are found throughout
the text. Chapters include labs with lists of required materials, explanation,
and step-by-step procedures. Lab materials may need to be ordered from a
science supplier. Appendices include helpful laboratory procedure information,
a chronological history of Christian chemists, and a glossary of chemistry
vocabulary.
Teacher Guide includes course description; teacher
instructions for labs; quizzes and exams; lab supply list; sample lab report;
grading sheet and a daily schedule for both 18-week semesters; and answer keys.
Worksheets are fill-in-the-blank questions based on the lesson’s reading. For
each lab there is a sheet of lab instructions and a place to take notes and a
lab report page. Quizzes are matching and/or multiple choice, and the exams are
all matching questions (8 exams total). Lab kits are from Cornerstone
