Exploring the World of Science Series (John H. Tiner Series)
Description
Explore science topics from a Christian perspective with
engagingly written texts that weave together stories of scientific discovery,
famous scientists, and scientific explanations. Divided into topical chapters,
each book contains informative text, black and-white illustrations and photos,
and review questions. While the visuals are black-and-white, they are detailed
and clearly labeled. Review questions consist of true/false and multiple-choice
questions, along with questions for further research or projects. Answers are
in the back. Both Master Books and Memoria Press offer additional resources to
create more robust learning.
At the middle school level, Memoria Press offers
the Student Question Book with review questions in various formats and a
Teacher Key and Tests Book with an answer key, unit tests, final exam,
and test/exam keys.
At the High School level, Master Book’s Survey of
Science uses Biology, Mathematics, Physics, and Chemistry to create a
year-long, 1-credit science course. The Teacher Guide provides daily
lesson assignments, worksheets, quizzes, tests, and answer keys for these four
books.
