Product Description

Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics is a homeschool science course for elementary grades K-6  and part of our Young Explorer Series authored by Jeannie Fulbright. For over 11 years in a row, The Young Explorer Series has been voted the #1 homeschool science for elementary grades.

Introduce your children to the fascinating world of chemistry and physics! The activities and projects in this course are sure to delight and inspire your young minds. They’ll begin by exploring the basic building blocks of creation, atoms and molecules, and then journey through simple chemicals, the laws of motion, and energy in its many forms, before discovering concepts of electricity and magnetism. Along the way, your students will make a bouncy ball, formulate a smoke bomb, build a solar oven, construct a working periscope, fashion a miniature motor, and create a lava lamp! All the while, God will be glorified as the Master Designer of all that they’re discovering about the world and how it works.

This exciting course will give your students a love for learning and confidence in science that will carry them through the school years and beyond. It is an engaging way to teach your young students just how God made everything in the universe. Jeannie Fulbright presents a scientifically sound and God-honoring study that covers atoms, molecules, simple chemicals, laws of motion, electricity, magnetism, and simple machines.

What is the Daily Schedule for Chemistry and Physics?

We have provided a detailed daily schedule for Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics in the front of each Notebooking Journal and Junior Notebooking Journal. This schedule outlines what to read and what activities to complete, as it fits your family’s needs.

We recommend that you spend the entire school year covering this book, devoting approximately two sessions per week to the course.

A perfect complement to Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics, the Chemistry and Physics Junior Notebooking Journal provides everything your student needs to complete his study of Chemistry and Physics. This Junior Notebooking Journal will serve as your child’s notebook, providing a place for him to complete every assignment in the text.

Each lesson begins with two fun coloring pages for the student to color while he listens to the reading of the text. These pages provide opportunities for active learning while reinforcing the lesson’s content. Following are pages with templates designed to encourage creative expression and written narration. The student can illustrate what he’s learned and write a sentence or two about the topic.

Next, the student is allowed to work with and learn key vocabulary words presented in the text. Included are puzzle piece cut out and match vocabulary activities, partially filled in crosswords, vocabulary stories, plant identification activities, and more. These learning activities are not only fun, but they also increase the student’s retention of both the important terms and the subject matter presented in the lessons.

A detailed daily schedule in each of our Notebooking Journals and Junior Notebooking Journals makes planning easier. This schedule lists the pages to read in the textbook and the pages to complete in the journal. Click to view a sample.

The Benefits of Using the Junior Notebooking Journal

Keeping a scientific notebook has always been standard scientific practice.  Apologia’s Junior Notebooking Journals have been designed to:

  • Facilitate retention and provide documentation of your student’s education. The unique personal written and artistic expressions incorporate both sides of the brain.
  • Be flexible and allows for multilevel learning. A twelve-year-old student may write an essay and make an elaborate illustration, while a six-year-old may write one sentence with a stick-figure drawing
  • Help students record experiences, observations, and thoughts
  • Engage students in the scientific process
  • Provide a written history that students can reference as they explore new subject areas
  • Give your student a place where they can record and organize experiences and observations
  • Provide a place to review their notes to create opinions and draw conclusions about the way their world works

What’s the Difference between the Notebooking Journal and Junior Notebooking Journal?

The regular Notebooking Journal for Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics is recommended for use with students who have mastered handwriting, can take notes, and enjoy upper elementary level activities. The Junior Notebooking Journals are designed for younger students who are still developing basic writing skills. These journals have easier crossword puzzles and activities, easier crossword puzzles and activities, and wider writing lines. The Notebooking Journal and Junior Notebooking Journal are designed to work together to help accommodate teaching multiple ages in your homeschool.
