Your Complete, High School Level General Science Course?
It depends — homeschooling families' approaches to teaching and learning are far from cookie-cutter in design. For some families, this set of DVDs— which are very comprehensive in scope—will be enough to provide a thorough grounding in each of the sciences.

Other families may prefer to use these DVDs as a starting point. They will provide students with an eye- and mind-opening overview of each science before beginning any textbook study. A 22-page Course Accreditation Program booklet is included (digital PDF) for those who want the DVDs to form the foundation of an entire school year's science course. In either case, students will find the series captivating and informative. In fact, the entire family might enjoy watching each segment together and engaging in lively discussions about the material.

Please note: The intended audience age is 15 and up. However, every word, graphic, and picture in General Science 101 has been carefully selected and is appropriate for the entire family.

Not Homeschooling?
The 101 Series is Even More Essential! If your children are in public or private school, the 101 series will be essential viewing. These DVDs will provide a clear Christian context where they can place all the information they are provided in their classes. They'll get the big picture to help them correctly interpret what they are taught in school. They'll learn that education can be exciting, challenging, and fun. Teachers, too, will find these DVDs invaluable.

Perfect for multiple grades

I LOVE watching these videos. I find them interesting and informative. Material is presented in a way to challenge older students but tI still be consumed and understood by younger students.

Awesome!

Mr. Olson does an amazing job! It's like an overview of everything we've called science and gives your student something to hang the different aspects of science on. Also some great ideas of what they might be interested in going more indepth on. His definitions and discussion are clear and the visual additions and presentation have just enough unexpected amusement thrown in to keep the interest of our 4 boys ages 8,12,13, 14 and 10 yr old daughter.
He cuts to the point in a very simple yet effective way in so many areas of science that have potential to be hard to understand because of their magnitude, and gives the basic sense of it. Very refreshing clarity especially in these days where things have began to be so convoluted.
Appreciate their mix of well thought out text, historical and visual reference, even vocabulary comes in, as well as random fun facts , all giving glory to God as the creator of all!
