Science in the Age of Reason
Science in the Age of Reason explores the discoveries, ideas, and scientific advancements of the 1700s and early 1800s. Through more than 90 lessons, your child will study the people, experiments, and innovations that shaped science during a period marked by both remarkable discoveries and significant philosophical change.
Written from a Christian worldview, the course examines how different beliefs influenced the way scientists understood the natural world. As your child studies the scientific achievements of the Age of Reason, he'll also explore how worldview can shape the questions people ask, the conclusions they draw, and the way they interpret evidence.
Along the way, your child will investigate topics such as chemistry, astronomy, anatomy, weather, light, vision, classification, and conservation laws. Every lesson includes a hands-on activity designed to reinforce the concepts being studied. He might transform a bar of soap in the microwave, make paper from cotton fibers, observe sparks from a wintergreen mint, classify fingerprints, test for color blindness, or explore other phenomena that connect scientific ideas to real-world observation.
The colorful hardcover text presents complex topics through short, conversational lessons supported by engaging illustrations. Three levels of review questions at the end of each lesson allow younger and older children to learn together while responding at an age-appropriate level.
Parents and children use the same text, while the included Helps & Hints guide provides answers, explanations, and teaching support. Optional tests and answer keys are included for families who prefer formal assessment, and an optional lab kit simplifies preparation by supplying many of the harder-to-find experiment materials.
Science in the Age of Reason helps your child see science as more than a collection of facts and discoveries. By studying both scientific advances and the worldviews that influenced them, he gains a deeper appreciation for the relationship between faith, reason, and the study of God's creation.

Too hard!!

This seemed WAY over my child’s head. It was also not very interesting. I’m science minded, and I didn’t enjoy it at all. My artsy child really hated it. We didn’t use it and got an Evan Moore book instead which was much better for her age. This seems like a curriculum for older students.

This science book was amazing. My 4th grade boys loved all the experiments. It was so hands on, and the reading of the lessons was more than manageable for them to keep their interest. They loved telling their dad about what experiment they had done and what happened. I would recommend this to anyone that likes experiments. The supplies are mostly typical things you can buy at your local grocery store. Although, I would suggest getting the lab box.
