Homeschool Moms Review

I purchased this guide but did not use it often.

Although nice to have, especially for the low price, I would not consider it essential to using the textbook.

The World God Made

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

This science text gives students a simple overview of the basic elements of science from a Christian perspective. Topics such as nature, weather, seasons, personal health, and animals are presented in this beautifully illustrated four-color text. Topics are presented based on the Days of Creation.

Homeschool Moms Review

This was one of the first pieces of curriculum I purchased when we began homeschooling years ago. It came highly recommended so I ordered both the textbook and teacher manual. The textbook itself it very nice, my kids loved looking at the pictures and the lessons are presented story book style. We loved reading this book together while we learned. Questions and coloring activities are provided throughout the book. If you are using this with preschool or kindergarten age children (as recommended), you probably won’t have them write in their answers to questions. We used the questions instead as a guide for discussion after reading.

This book begins with a lesson on the nature of astronomy, and then it covers the major structures of our solar system.
