God's Design has long been a favorite for elementary science. Thankfully, Master Books has taken this beloved program and made it more user-friendly. Presenting information in bite-sized chunks that are not overwhelming, with lovely graphics, this text will likely have your young children begging you to "do science"! The textbook is organized into three units with 35 lessons per unit. Lessons follow a similar format: read a section, trace vocabulary words, answer review questions orally, and conclude with one or more activities. Activities vary and may include a simple writing exercise, a Bible verse to trace, or a hands-on activity. Units conclude with a vocabulary review. For the teacher, also included in the textbook are introductory teaching notes, answer keys, additional activities and experiments, supply lists, and a course schedule which is practical and flexible. There are also brief tips for using the Beginners book alongside the God's Design series for grades 3-8. The supply list is organized by lesson and necessary items should be easy to obtain locally. Consumable student pages are reproducible for family use. Features ESV or NKJV Scripture references, and brightly colored, softcover texts. ~Deanne
