General Science
This course is designed to be a student’s first systematic
introduction to the sciences. Although it can be used for eighth
grade (especially if the student has recently left the public
schools), it is typically used best in the seventh grade. The
course covers such topics as the scientific method, designing
experiments, simple machines, archaeology, geology,
paleontology, biology, and human anatomy and physiology. Its
scope, therefore, is quite wide. There are many hands-on
experiments to do, and they all use household items.

Physical Science
This course is designed to be the last science course the
student takes before high school biology. Thus, we generally
recommend it as an 8th grade course. However, if your student
was recently in public school, he or she might need to wait until
9th grade to use it. The course discusses such topics as the
atmosphere, the hydrosphere, weather, the structure of the
earth, environmentalism, the physics of motion, Newton’s
Laws, gravity, and astrophysics. The author especially
concentrates on the myths generated by the hysterical
environmentalist movement. There are many hands-on
experiments to do, and they all use household chemicals and
supplies. It is an excellent course for preparing the student to
take a college-prep high school science curriculum.

Biology
This course is designed to be the student’s first high school
science course and is a college-prep biology course that
provides a detailed introduction to the methods and concepts
of general biology. Heavily emphasizing the vocabulary of
biology, it provides the student with a strong background in the
scientific method, the five-kingdom classification scheme,
microscopy, biochemistry, cellular biology, molecular and
Mendelian genetics, evolution, dissection, and ecosystems. It
also provides a complete survey of the five kingdoms in
Creation. Students who take and understand this course will
be very well-prepared for a tough university biology course.

Chemistry
In order to be able to understand this text, the student needs
to have completed algebra I. This course is designed to be a
first-year high school chemistry course and gives the student
a rigorous foundation in chemistry, in order to prepare him or
her for a college-level course. The course covers significant
figures, units, classification, the mole concept, stoichiometry,
thermochemistry, thermodynamics, kinetics, acids and
bases, redox reactions, solutions, atomic structure, Lewis
structures, molecular geometry, the gas laws, and
equilibrium. Students who take and understand this course
will be very well-prepared for a tough university chemistry
course.

Biology II
Prerequisites: Biology, Chemistry
This is our advanced biology course. Combined with
Exploring Creation With Biology, it gives the student the
equivalent of a university biology course. In other words,
these two courses together cover the entire "advanced
placement" (AP) curriculum. In order to take this course, the
student MUST have completed a first-year biology course
AND a first-year chemistry course. It covers both the anatomy
and the physiology of the human body’s 11 organ systems
in detail.
