Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics Elementary
Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics
Tell your child he will learn to build a smoke bomb and watch him enthusiastically reach for Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics.
This title from the Young Explorer Series introduces your child to two breathtaking subjects that naturally lend themselves to a multitude of hands-on demonstrations that bring science to life.
With this curriculum, your students will make a working periscope, explore physics with paper airplanes, manufacture a homemade electric motor, create the hugely popular smoke bomb, and much more.
Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics is packed with full-color pictures and illustrations, oodles of fascinating "Try This!" experiments and integrated narration questions. It will gently but thoroughly prepare your children for the more rigorous classes they will need in high school. See our optional lab kit here.
About the Young Explorer Series:
Young Explorer Jeannie Fulbright's elementary science program is an in-depth science curriculum with gorgeous, full-color pictures and captivating, God-exalting text. It sparkles in comparison to the mainstream, dry-bones science program, and it utilizes what we believe is the most sensible method of teaching science, the immersion approach.
Other science programs quickly become tedious with their yearly superficial overviews as children encounter the repetitiveness of topic matters. The Young Explorer science immersion program, will allow your family to enjoy the depth and riches that genuine science can give. Most home-taught children who enjoy science are taught with a science immersion program.
This program utilizes a combination of the Charlotte Mason and classical methods. You can rely on each Young Explorer book to acknowledge the evidence of Creation, have easy-to-follow self-contained lessons, include hands-on activities, and support the National Standards of Science.
Recommended for ages six through twelve, but written with a fourth-grader in mind, you may find that your older children will enjoy doing the coursework independently. At the same time, younger, less confident readers will prefer parental involvement.
We encourage you to let your child choose the topic to study that captures your student's interest. Your student can use the Young Explorer titles in any order since each book's content stands alone.
Because of the concept levels, the publisher suggests that Earth Science, Human Anatomy & Physiology, and Chemistry & Physics are better suited for upper elementary grades. However, younger students can certainly follow along and learn well if older siblings have progressed into these last three books. The Junior Notebooking Journals, for grades K-2, will allow them to absorb the concepts at their level.
If you would like a convenient, time-saving way to get nearly all of the materials you will need for the experiments, we now offer a lab kit! This lab kit is assembled with virtually every non-household item the curriculum requires, so you won't have to search for elusive components.
