Synopsis

The vital resource for grading quizzes and tests from the Science Starters: Elementary Physical & Earth Science course, which includes:

• Instruction on earth science and physical science from a young-earth, creationist perspective
• An instructional calendar to provide guidance for the investigations, hands-on projects, quizzes, and more.

OVERVIEW: Elementary physical science and earth science come alive through this activities-driven science course that ignites a sense of curiosity about the wonderful world God has made. Concepts are introduced in an engaging way by highlighting the science behind kids at play, like rollerskating, skateboarding, and even running. By guiding students through these easy-to-understand investigations, they learn to observe and relate what they have personally observed in detail. The learning progression helps students engage, investigate, explain, apply, expand, and assess the scientific principles, and is filled with helpful images, diagrams, and inexpensive activities. Students discover why caves and sinkholes form, what is in the soil we walk on every day, how warning signs are present prior to volcanic eruptions, what tests can be used to identify rocks, and more. This comprehensive series makes the study of God's creation both enjoyable and educational!

FEATURES: Two to three lessons weekly with clear objectives, and assessments based on the experiments and weekly learning.
