Category Description for Novare Science Courses

Novare Science emphasizes that science education needs to be renewed using research, scientific evidence, and forward-thinking strategies while keeping God at the helm. Students are taught to see God in creation, while learning current scientific theories including the evolutionary theory. Using a mastery approach, students learn fewer topics in more depth than typical courses while reviewing previously learned key concepts. Self-created lab journals and reports are suggested to prepare students for high school and college sciences. Life Science, Physical Science, and Earth Science are taught at the middle school level. At the high school level, Novare takes a Physics first approach to science and offers two pathways for students: Grade-Level Pathway and the Accelerated Pathway. Parents and teachers are encouraged to read From Wonder to Mastery by John Mays to learn about the program philosophy.  

Novare Science offers two High School Pathways that link a student’s math placement and science courses. The Grade-Level Pathway follows a standard sequence of math courses (Algebra, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Statistics), with a student taking Algebra 2 and Chemistry concurrently. With this sequence in mind, the Grade-Level Pathway for Novare Science is Introductory Physics, General Biology, and General Chemistry. Currently, there is no course from Novare Science for Grade 12 in the Grade-Level Pathway. It is recommended students complete an Anatomy and Physiology or Environmental Science course. The publisher plans to release Novare Environmental Science in 2025. The Student Lab Handbook is recommended for all courses.

 Inspiring students to be awed by God's amazing creation and aiming for content mastery by focusing on fewer topics with more depth, Novare General Biology affirms Jesus Christ as the center of all things while teaching the complexity of God's world and current secular scientific theories. The course begins with atoms and molecules, progressing into into cells, genes, microorganisms, plants, animals, and human organ systems. It also includes a survey of ecology and evolutionary theory teaching. Successful completion of Algebra 1 is required, with Geometry being taken concurrently. Required components include the Student Edition, Digital Resources, and the Apprentice Companion. Optional and helpful resources include the Student Lab Report Handbook and Lab Kits. A microscope with 400x magnification is required but not included in the Lab Kits. The Novare General Biology Program includes the Student Edition, Digital Resources, and the Apprentice Companion.
