Science in the Beginning
The Berean Science series teaches science as discovered throughout history, so it makes perfect sense for the series to open right at the beginning with the six days of creation. Science in the Beginning provides 15 lessons for each of the six days of creation, incorporating a wide variety of topics and experiments.
These include:
- Light and eyesight in Unit 1
- Tornadoes in Unit 2
- A crayon rock cycle in Unit 3
- A toilet paper map of the solar system in Unit 4
- Whether saltwater or freshwater fish drink more in Unit 5
- How cats, dogs, and rabbits see differently in Unit 6
Throughout, students are referred back to the Creator who fashioned all the marvels they are studying. The Science in the Beginning Set includes the text and the slim Helps & Hints book. Helps & Hints for Science in the Beginning contains answers for the review exercises in the text and hints to make checking, correcting, and explaining the students' work easier. And while the author suggests that testing is unnecessary for most families, he includes tests and test solutions for families who find it beneficial. See our optional lab kit here.
About Berean Science
Berean Science offers students an opportunity to study science through the lens of history. Berean Science teaches science chronologically using a narrative dialogue and a Christian worldview, so there are vast and varied science topics in each volume.
The hardcover textbooks have lots of full-color illustrations. The lesson is concise but complete, distilling down to the core of what your child needs to know. Lesson material is often just a page or two following each activity, perfect for any child that struggles to sit and pay attention. Fairly bursting with experiments, Berean Science's strong focus on this hands-on component makes it an ideal program for the wigglers in your household. Every lesson has an activity of some sort! Activities, all color-coded and easy to find quickly, often involve inexpensive household items and are the gateway to the exploration of each scientific concept.
Each book has a helpful section in the front that tells you all the materials you will need, broken down per chapter, for doing the experiments. We offer a lab kit if you would like a convenient, time-saving way to get nearly all of the materials you will need for the experiments! This lab kit is already assembled with virtually every non-household item the curriculum requires, so you won't have to search for elusive components.
Berean Science lends itself well to multi-grade homes that prefer to use just one science curriculum for the entire family. Each lesson concludes with questions or additional activities for "younger," "older," and "oldest" students. Lessons are taught directly from the text, so parents and students share the same book. Sprinkled throughout the text are optional "challenge" lessons that you are free to skip if time is an issue. Berean Science is an excellent way to teach science through hands-on learning.
