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. 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. 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.

Chemistry II
Prerequisites: Chemistry I and Algebra II
When added to a first-year Chemistry course, Chemistry II fills in the
gaps; giving the student the equivalent of the first year of college
chemistry.
The course covers detailed descriptions of limiting-reagent
stoichiometry, atomic and molecular orbitals, intermolecular forces,
solutions, equilibria, acids and bases, redox reactions, nuclear
chemistry, and organic chemistry.
*PLEASE NOTE: Because of the differences between the first and
second editions, students in a group setting cannot use both. They
must all have the same edition. We will be using the 2nd edition.

Science 5/6
Using Bob Jones Science 5 as the spine text, students will learn about
and explore a variety of interesting scientific topics. Students will make
their own fossils, make and use their own weather instruments, measure
their lung capacity and will finish the semester with a sheep heart
dissection. The instructor uses a wide variety of games, activities,
and experiments to demonstrate some of the scientific principles that
govern our world. Note: The instructor has chosen Bob Jones
textbooks because they are colorful, engaging, academically
challenging, and most importantly show that all of
science and nature point to the Creator.
