Description
The Elementary Science classes will study General Science which will explore broad topics such as the scientific method, designing experiments, simple machines, geology, archaeology, biology, and more, with a large focus on Earth Science (astronomy, meteorology, oceanography, earth study, geology, paleontology, and environmental science). Hands-on experiments are included throughout, giving students practical experience as they discover the principles behind science and learn how to record and report data. Some classroom presentations and experiments will be used from the Exploring Creation with General Science Student Text.
