Adventures in the Physical World – Level 2

Sample

Their faith will grow as they study energy, force, simple machines, matter, astronomy, meteorology, and geology. Grab your camera to capture the delight and wonder on their faces as they complete the experiments which are easy to prepare.

This one-year course is designed to be studied three times a week with lessons that can be completed in approximately 20 minutes.

This beautiful course is hands-on fun, biblically sound, and a delight to teach. You will enjoy teaching your children how science supports the biblical account of God’s creation.

Inside this full-color, grab and go workbook, you will find:

• Memory verses with hand motions to help students memorize Bible passages
• Discussion Starters that encourage students to dive deeper into the topics they’re learning
• Activity pages for students to create their own Science Notebook to share

Course Objectives

Students completing this course will:

• Explore energy, force, motion, simple machines, matter, astronomy, meteorology, and geology
• Discover that science teaches many lessons about God and our relationship with Him
• Learn through hands-on exploration and experimentation
• Compile a Science Notebook to document their discoveries and share what they’ve learned with others

Course Overview

This course is designed to be interactive with students, as they are given the opportunity to stop and discuss answers to questions in the text. The course explores questions such as:

• What is energy?
• How do simple machines work?
• What is matter?
