Is Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Christian or Secular?
Like all RS4K, these books introduce real science to kids. That means currently-accepted scientific facts & theories, so books align with secular homeschool philosophies.
But the books also introduce the basic philosophy of science. As such, RS4K encourages students to explore opposing viewpoints. Christian homeschools interpret what facts & theories mean to individuals, groups, and the community.
Category Description for Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 7
Building on topics introduced in Book 3, topics covered include pure substances and mixtures, solutions, separating mixtures, organic chemistry (the chemistry of carbon), polymers, biological polymers including amino acids, DNA, and RNA; plant cells and the classification of plants, the chemistry of photosynthesis, plant structure and growth, plant reproduction; chemical energy, electrostatics, electrodynamics, and electromagnetics; Earth as a system and Earth’s hydrosphere, biosphere, and magnetosphere; different types of galaxies, the Milky Way, red giants, white dwarfs, and other objects in space.
