Science in the Industrial Age Set

Science in the Industrial Age

Science in the Industrial Age discusses scientific advances, discoveries, inventions, and even errors from the early 1800s to the early 1900s. In the fifth title in the Berean Science series, your student will;

• Discover what Michael Faraday has to do with safe airline travel
• Use gumdrops to understand the chemistry mystery that Louis Pasteur first cracked
• Experience the Second Law of Thermodynamics by making ice cream

Students will see how the beliefs of the scientists influenced their interpretations of scientific data. This prepares students to live in an opinionated and volatile scientific age in which the dominant worldview of many scientists no longer includes God.

The Science in the Industrial Age Set includes the text and the slim Helps & Hints book. Helps & Hints for Science in the Industrial Age 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.

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. Each volume has vast and varied science topics. 

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. 

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. 

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 need for the experiments! This lab kit is assembled with virtually every non-household item the curriculum requires, so you won't have to search for elusive components. Berean Science is an excellent way to teach science and a welcomed addition to the Timberdoodle kits.

”We really enjoyed learning about the scientists, some I didn't remember ever learning about in school. Ultimately the most fun was the experiments!”
