Exploring Creation with Physical Science

Sample Module
Table of Contents

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.

Here are some comments we have received from the students and parents who have used this course:

“When [our daughter] was 9, we adopted her from China...despite all efforts, [she] just could not read or comprehend moderate English. I began to homeschool her. We went back to a 1st grade level and I painfully had to teach her to read by memorization only..she just could NOT learn by phonics. The short story is that we learned after 2 years of homeschooling that [our daughter] is not just delayed...she has a special need that caused her, as the experts say, to hear as if "her head is underwater"...Instead of feeling hopelessness at this news, my daughter suddenly felt empowered...I want to tell you how incredible your product has been for [her]. It is well written. Each experiment has really helped her to visually understand what concept is being taught. I am learning more by helping [our daughter] than I ever learned in school myself. And you know what? That is very satisfying to her. She sees me learning right along with her and thinks, "Hey...my mom is learning this for the first time...I must be smart to know it before her!" And that is just fine with me. Thank you for an excellent product.”
“We have used your Physical Science text this past year and, even though my daughter dislikes science topics and science related discussions, she thoroughly enjoyed your text! (I know this sounds like an advertisement, and I can’t believe I am the one writing it!) She learned so much and was able to apply her wealth of information to related subjects that came up through the year. I was so encouraged and impressed!” -- parent
“My 14 year old daughter who has been a confirmed science hater is doing Physical Science. She loves it!” -- parent
“The text in your book explains things extremely well and I enjoy seeing how the principles work, when I perform the experiments. My little brother likes to do them with me. Being able to use household items has been a blessing because we live a bit far from shopping, and my Mom doesn’t have to rush out and buy hard-to-find items every time there’s an experiment to do. The amount of reviewing in the chapters, at the end of the chapters, and in the tests has helped me to make sure that I will remember the terms and principles for life. Your curriculum is wonderful and I hope to do all the rest of my science using your books.” -- student
“I must tell you that your book is the best physical science book that I have seen.” -- parent
“We use your Physical Science book and it is great! I learn so much from the experiments and the explanations are easy to understand and well written.” --student
“Both our 7th and 9th grader are enjoying the labs in Exploring Creation With Physical Science. I am enjoying the fact that they are using it independently of me.” -- parent
“Thank you for Exploring Creation With Physical Science. It is the best we've seen thus far. The blend of conversational yet thorough explanations, interrelated real-world examples and applications, well-explained experiments along with a creationist viewpoint is an interesting and thought-provoking mix.” -- parent
“We have just finished the second module and my children love it!!! They commented today that this is the first science course they have liked and truly understand. I love the readability of the text and the experiment[s] actually work. Thanks so much.” -- parent
