Adventures in the Physical World - Level 2 (Let's Talk Science)

Providing an introductory overview of many abstract concepts such as force, motion, and atoms, this creation-based program offers engaging textual information, hands-on investigations, biblically-inspired stories, discussion questions, Bible memory work (with hand actions), and even an easy-to-do Science Notebook. The entire program is packed into a very user-friendly, one volume course. There are three lessons per week, with each lesson taking approximately 20 minutes. Each lesson has a different focus: Learn about the topic, Experience the topic, and Share (apply) what you’ve learned. Learn days incorporate textual information, stories (a section called Imagine That!), and short Discussion Starters. These are prompts to help you recall the lessons as well as bridge to biblical applications. Stories are based on biblical events and people (Noah and his family in Level 2) but include fictional elements. Experience days are designed for fun with activities that illustrate concepts introduced in the Learn section. For example, a paper plate sundial and edible tectonic plates. Share days include a pull-out activity page(s) for a science notebook the student builds over the year. Handwriting lines are 9/16” with dotted middles. Required supplies include common household items and easily sourced items including bouncy ball, gear set, balloons, 2 bar magnets, Play-Doh®, flashlight, solar system planetary models, 4-5” Styrofoam® ball, modeling clay, and a basic rock and mineral set. Recommended resources to go deeper include: The New Weather Book (012712), The New Astronomy Book (012709), Inside Noah’s Ark 4 Kids (001281), Created Cosmos DVD (item 057182), The Geology Book (item 012711), The True Story of Noah’s Ark (item 024334) and The Answers Book for Kids Volume 2 (item 045068). (The Geology Book was misidentified in the Text as the New Geology Book . At this time, there is no New Geology Book or plans to update the Geology Book ). Colorfully illustrated, the student pages are reproducible for your family. Uses NIV and NIrV Bible versions.
