SCIENCE
Grade 7
Earth and the Universe
Wow! Enter the world of atoms and molecules! Enjoy the exploration of space!! Explore volcanoes and learn about what makes the earth quake! Unlock the mysteries of the weather and more!
This fun and interesting course brings science into the realm of your student's everyday experience. Each chapter will develop your student's understanding and enjoyment of the world and universe around him/her.
This course is also chock-full of scriptures, pictures, tables, and illustrations to aid in your student's learning experience. A special chapter on the scope and methods of science, as well as introductory chapters on biology, chemistry, and physics, are included to prepare your student to step into the physical world of 8th-grade science. Easy-to-do experiments are also included that have been tested to validate their success for your student.
Your student will learn important science easily and thoroughly through the use of both the textbook and workbook. All science concepts have been simplified and are presented in a careful step-by-step approach to help your student master them before advancing.
Using a fluid and creative style, the textbook is interesting reading, carefully written to emphasize God's hand and wisdom in all details of the universe. Through using this course, your student will come to a deeper understanding of who God is and why science must bow to His majesty. Your student will learn to search through Him for all of his/her discoveries as He alone is the master brain behind all that was created and set in motion to function as He ordained and continues to ordain. Book has color and black and white pictures.
Extra special benefits included in this course are as follows.
- Devotionals written for teenagers
- Fascinating biographies of believing scientists
- Fun educational experiments using common household products
Textbook highlights include the following.
- Science: the branches of science, scientific method, visual science, and experimental science
- Chemistry: atoms, molecules, solids, liquids, and gases
- Geology: the earth's interior, rocks, soil, earthquakes, and volcanoes
- Meteorology: the weather, wind, rain, floods, droughts, ice/snow, and the greenhouse effect
- Astronomy: galaxies, stars, solar system, rocket and space programs, and planets
- Physics: gravity, force, motion, work, friction, and earth as a magnet
- Biology: the properties of life, life cycles, entomology (bugs), botany (plants), and cytology (cells)
- Health: life span, determination of life span, affects on life span, and a biblical diet
This course includes a large workbook that is specifically designed to help your student enjoy science as he/she follows a sequence of learning experiences that reinforce the information being covered. Each study section in the workbook includes: defining terms, answering questions, thinking challenges, writing summaries, and teaching concepts. Your student not only answers questions, but must think, analyze, write essays, and plan to teach someone else what was learned. This approach gives your student a balanced, whole brain experience in learning.
This course is also the perfect teacher for the independent learner.

PERIODIC TABLE
This color coded table has complete information on all of the known elements, including atomic weights and number of electrons per orbit. The table also has an appropriate scripture printed on the front.
The large 8.5" x 11.0" size format is much easier to read than many that are contained in textbooks, so your student's eyes are not strained. Additionally, the table's stand-alone nature provides easier use for testing purposes. For any science student, this table is an indispensable tool!
