New Leaf has put together an elementary earth science study using the books Big Book of Earth & Sky, Bugs, and The Ecology Book. The Teacher Guide includes a weekly lesson schedule, student worksheets, quizzes & test, and answer keys. Lessons will typically take 30-45 minutes and are done 3 days per week for a one-year science course. Students will learn about soil, the sea, sky, earth's crust, caves, clouds, insects, and the relationship between living organisms written through the lens of a Christian worldview. ~ Donna
