Apologia Science: Quality Science Curricula
A Quality, Challenging Science Course that Defends Christianity
Even if you don't feel confident in teaching science to your children, you will find the help you need in these books designed especially for homeschoolers. Written by a former university professor who is Christian, these textbooks are presented in conversational style as if the author is having a good talk with the reader. Concepts are easy to understand, and have good experiments which can easily be performed at home. Each course comes as a 2 book set: the hardcover textbook and a paperback solutions/test manual. These are the bestselling science books with homeschoolers!
Astronomy, Botany , Zoology 1 are for the elementary grades as a science introduction. Each lesson is organized with a narrative, some notebook work, and at least one activity and a project. Design to be read by a parent or students with 4th grade reading level.
General Science is for the Jr. High years and introduces the scientific method, experiments, simple machines, archaeology, geology, paleontology, biology, human anatomy and physiology. Lab experiments use just household items.
Physical Science covers weather, the atmosphere, structure of the earth, motion, Newton's laws, gravity, and physics. Explores myths created by environmentalists (which I find necessary and much appreciated!). Hands-on experiments use household supplies.
Biology is a college prep course emphasizing the vocabulary of biology, five-kingdom classification, scientific method, genetics, evolution, dissection, ecosystems, and more; taught from a creation viewpoint noting the majesty of God's incredible design! Many lab experiments are done that require just household supplies, and additional optional experiments using a microscope and dissection. You can purchase the Dissection Kit below. Companion CD includes the microscope experiments.
Chemistry explores the wonderful world of the periodic table, elements, compounds, reactions, solutions, acids and bases, and more. In order to understand this course, you will need to have completed Algebra 1. You will benefit by having the Glassware Kit which includes beakers, test tubes, alcohol burner, cylinders, mass scale, thermometer, and more, which make doing the experiments easier and more accurate. All of the chemicals used in this course are household materials that are readily available (salt, soda, dish soap, vinegar, etc.).
Human Body covers the entire advanced placement (AP) curriculum, covering both the anatomy and the physiology of the human body's 11 organ systems in details. Includes details on the reproductive system with clear illustrations and descriptions. Companion CD available.
Each course has 12-16 modules, which can be paced for 2 weeks each, for a complete school year's study.
The curriculum is backed by free question/answer support in case you need tutoring. The Companion CD has narrations, video segments, and animations to enrich the textbook course. Lab Kits are shipped directly from the manufacturer to you with free shipping. |
