Category Description for Exploring Creation with General Science
Designed as a student’s first middle school science course, Exploring Creation with General Science by Apologia teaches the three branches of science while guiding students in the development of independent learning skills. Within the three branches, students study astronomy, geology, paleontology, meteorology, oceanography, marine science, life science, environmental science, and a basic overview of chemistry, physics, and biology. The history of science, scientific inquiry and the scientific method, documenting and interpreting experimental results, and scientific analysis are also covered. A biblical worldview is emphasized through the scripture references (NIV/NLT), creation connections, and the stories of scientists who believe the study of science declares the glory of God. Anatomy is not covered to prevent overlap of content from the Young Explorer Anatomy and Physiology course.
Exploring Creation with General Science contains 14 modules (chapters), with a suggested 4 day per week schedule. Each module will take 2 - 2 ½ weeks to complete, with the student spending one hour per day studying science. A suggested daily schedule is found in the companion Student Notebook. According to the publisher, 3 components are required: the Student Textbook, Student Notebook, and Solutions Book with Test Pages. Optional supplements are also available, including an MP3 Audio CD and a Video Instruction Thumb Drive. All components are sold individually or in one of several convenient sets below. Experiments and activities are integral to learning in this course. Numerous household items and science supplies are needed to complete all labs in the course; you may opt to gather these yourself or purchase the convenient Lab Kit from Nature’s Workshop Plus, which includes most of the necessary items.

Well worth the money
This was a game changer for me doing science at home. When I did general science several years ago I didn't want to spend the money on a lab kit and we struggled to do all the labs and find the materials. I was dreading doing general science with my middle schooler this year and decided to buy the kit. It has been so nice to have most of the materials needed for the labs in this kit - bagged by module. The kit includes a list telling what they provide, and what you need to provide for each module so you can prepare ahead of time if needed. The things you provide are very basic like water, pots, etc and we have not had any issues gathering what we need. My son has been able to gather the materials on his own for each experiment and it has made doing the labs much easier and enjoyable. I do agree that it would be nice if some of the explore more activity materials were included as well or offered as an add-on. When my next child does general science, I am planning to buy the kit again to ensure a smoother experience for us all.

Great to have materials organized for each experiment.
Some experiments do not have enough module1 salt, module6-alum to complete the experiment
Also, it would be nice to have materials for explore mores

Convenience at a decent price
Convenient! Really unless you like gathering all the things you need on your own, this is a great way to start your school year with a little help. I have two students doing labs but I only bought one kit and they do it together and even record them so that I can review and ask questions. They look like they are enjoying the process as they learn.

Saves time buying and organizing lab materials. Other than sometimes having to add a few items, it is grab a bag and go.

Best investment
The Lab kits for science courses are the best thing since peanut butter! My grandson's face shines whenever he "gets" to do an experiment. I believe that this kit made the lessons he is learning come alive.

Wonderful product!`
This has made doing the experiments fun and engaging instead of a logistical burden - absolutely love it and I'll be getting these kits for any further Apologia science courses we do. Everything is organized by module and of great quality.

Why did you choose this?
I tried to put my own lab kit together, but after just three weeks of trying to find "things" I decided to purchase the all in one kit. Very much a time saver for a Mom with three homeschoolers.
It seems to have more items than another science lab kit provider.
Great resource in addition to curriculum.
I love not having to gather the supplies myself
