Publisher's Description of Novare Physical Science 3rd Edition

Category Description for Novare Physical Science
Novare Physical Science is well illustrated and packed with concise information to help students really get to know the area of physical science. Following the Novare Middle School Science sequence, Physical Science will be studied in 7th grade, however, it can be used successfully in grades 6-8. Using a mastery approach, students learn fewer topics in more depth than typical courses and review previously learned key concepts. Along with physical science topics, grade level mathematics, the history behind the science, written and verbal English language skills are integrated. Students are taught to see God in creation, while learning current secular scientific theories including the evolutionary theory. The authors do ascribe to the current secular geological timeline and age of earth. Required components include the Textbook and Digital Resources. Components sold separately or packaged together as the Physical Science Program. An optional helpful Lab Kit is sold separately.

Looks good
I think this is going to work well for us this year. Only reason I am giving this a 4 out of 5 is that it is pretty small print. My kids are dyslexic. I wish that they hadn't packed the page so much. I know it is a bigger book if you don't. But you could always do what Notgrass does for it's history books- use the bigger font and just split it into 2 volumes .

*Perfect!*
As a homeschooling Christian family whose Dad holds a physics degree, we consider this the perfect Physics textbook! It is written in an engaging style and is a fascinating read just to pick up! It spends a considerable time on what science really is and really is not (so important in today's "Trust the Science" world of pseudo-science). Speaks of God, especially in view of the intelligence discernible in the natural world. Not a "young earth" view; fully orthodox with Catholicism. Assumes an intelligent audience. Includes the most modern theories of particle physics.
I can't recommend this book highly enough!
For seventh/eighth graders approx.

mandatory textbook
Textbook philosophy of mastery (not cramming and forgetting). The science topics look like they are explained clearly. For teaching it (in a homeschool coop setting), the digital resources is recommended,
Seemed like a good middle ground for a science curriculum, not extraordinarily advanced and not dumbed down.
