| Exploring Creation With General Science by Veritas Pr Inc Used many, but never again! |
| I absolutely love this curriculum. I have homeschooled my 4 children for 5 years now and this Science is wonderful. I have had so much fun with the experiments and my kids seem to actually enjoy this approach to learning. I highly recommend this if your searching for a Science program. |
| Exploring Creation With General Science by Veritas Pr Inc Great! |
I took this class, and i found this book to be very good. I learned very much in various ways to disprove the HYPOTHOSIS of evolution, and now, for once, I have a very clear idea of what science exactly is. I have also taken Physical Science, and that was very good too.Exploring Creation With Physical Science I would definitely suggest this book to any Christian Homeschooler, but I also have a Christian friend who is in public school but is taking this course at home...
she is enjoying it very much! |
| Exploring Creation With General Science by Veritas Pr Inc Excellent Curriculum |
| This is my first year back to homeschooling and as my twins are in sixth grade and stronger in math/science than I am, I was nervous about keeping up with them and challenging them. This textbook was perfect for us! It is written TO the student and presents both evolutionist and creationist views. (The author does not fail to point out that all textbooks are biased in one way or another and admits that he believes, (as we do) that the case for creation is stronger) I have learned so much this year--the excitement is contagious. (I was only taught evolution in my science schooling) I have even facilitated the labs for our co-op and feel totally comfortable. As I mentioned, the book and labs are written TO the student. All I have to do is encourage them to have fun learning! We're looking forward to moving on to the Physical Science next year. |
| Exploring Creation With General Science by Veritas Pr Inc Makes Scientists of Science-Haters! |
I do not have praise enough for Jay Wile's Science books. This book sets the stage for all the further Apologia courses with an introduction to science history, the Scientific Method, the correct process of scientific experiments, an analyzation of scientific dating processes, and the overall benefits of science via introduction to various branches.
It's difficult to articulate how skillfully Wile unveils a student's OWN recognition of truth...not the student's OWN TRUTH, but his recognition of THE truth through carefully sequenced experiments or revelation of information. Wile guides through each module with a completely understandable dialogue and completely achievable experiments uncommon to most textbooks.
When a student can read with understanding, perform experiments with accuracy and comprehension, discern intended outcomes through their own deductive reasoning, they are going to remember it! When a student succeeds, they are more likely to ENJOY it!!
This overview course whets the appetite for more study and more than adequately prepares the student to approach the successive books with mastery of the basic process of scientific study.
ONE minor warning: The first chapter is initially boring and somewhat intimidating. It gives a quick-shot overview of the history of science and covers a lot of ground and a lot of information in short order. We feared the whole of the book would be the same. We eventually discovered some very necessary information emerging throughout the module...primarily an explanation of how the church gradually became considered an enemy of science and how essential the church was in its development. I just mention this as a caution not to give up with the first module!!

| Exploring Creation With General Science by Veritas Pr Inc I am a (...)home schooler and I love this book. |
| At first I wasn't too interested in science. I never even knew that there was another science side. I thought that there was only Evolution. At first I thought "eh" with science, but I was actually lovin' it when Mom bought this book for me! If a parent or kid is reading this, I recommend buying it: It is very good and it will give you a choice: Believe Uniformitarians, or Catastrophists. Those two words you will learn about when you buy this book. |
