Great Science book!
Great for Kindergarteners and up! Short lessons, grab and go, tightly related to the Bible and informative to be engaged! Highly recommended for kids with a short attention span.

A great way to introduce science to your kiddos
My daughter loves doing this science curriculum. She is 5 years old. We have only done the first 11 or so lessons and have found that it pairs wonderfully with The Good and the Beautiful Little Hearts and Hands: Plants and Flowers curriculum. For those of you deciding if this is for you, we have found that it has just the right balance of reading and hands on participation. The explanations have been great and the review questions help to solidify what we are learning. So far, I would highly recommend this for younger elementary aged kids.
Have a question? Ask owners.
Start typing and see existing answers.
Why did you choose this?
Is there a separate teacher guide for this or is it all in one?
In a way it’s in there. The answers are in the back but really the lessons are what gets read together. I have really enjoyed these science books!
The language is rich and the pages beautifully show God's creation.
This is an excellent curriculum for elementary school science.
I was recommended the "God's Design" series by a homeschool group and I love the way it centers the framework of creation around God.
