Description
This kit contains most of the harder-to-find items you'll need to complete the labs in Exploring Creation with Physical Science. Kit includes: two test tubes (16x150 mm), a 12-pack of antacid tablets, two hard rubber balls (baseball-sized), balloons, a 9-V battery, a D-cell battery, a candle, a size 9 cork, 100g of Epsom salt, a 3.5" x 3.5" plastic mirror, a 6" plastic protractor, a 22"l x 5"w wooden ramp, one sheet of medium-grit sandpaper, a stopwatch, a measuring tape (150 cm), a thermometer, 14-gauge insulated copper wire, and a 1.5" x 1.5" x 0.75" wooden block. If you already have a well-stocked home and kitchen, this is a more economical kit choice.
Category Description for Exploring Creation with Physical Science (3rd Edition)
The 3rd edition has been completely revised compared to the 1st and 2nd editions. Maintaining a Creation focused, rigorous approach to the sciences, the updated content changes are a more natural progression of Apologia's upper level scope and sequence that began with the General Science, 3rd edition. A careful introduction to the scientific process, methods, and measurement/data collection are covered in the first module, followed by a focus on chemistry (4 modules) and physics (6 modules). Additional chapters cover earth science (2 modules), and chemistry and physics in the life sciences. Physical Science Research concludes the course, showing students what is involved in research from brainstorming to making a presentation. A total of 15 modules are included, and will take 2 or more weeks to complete. Students should plan on spending one hour per day on science. Like the previous courses, the text is written to the student and most students will be able to complete the readings and most activities independently. Labs are integral, with 29 formal experiments and 47 "Explore More" activities included. Hands-on experiments use household supplies. Safety glasses are required. For your convenience, a Nature's Workshop Plus Lab Kit is available. Students will learn how to create both informal and formal lab reports in this course. Completion of all lab activities are expected, and students will document all labs through either the informal or formal report. One formal lab report is completed per module. Not compatible with the previous edition.
There are 2 required components. First is the softcover Student Text which includes all student reading, experiments, "On Your Own" exercises (with answers and discussion later in the chapter), and Study Guide questions at the end of each chapter. The second book, Solutions and Tests, contains the chapter test booklet, answers to the test questions and solutions to the "Study Guide" questions. Tests are not reproducible. Test booklets can be purchased separately.
Optional but recommended, the Student Notebook, provides a suggested daily schedule, a place to record study notes, lab charts and tables and space to answer the "On Your Own" and Study Guide questions. Not reproducible. Also available, the optional Audio MP3 CD provides an audio reading of the textual information and "On Your Own" questions.

Why did you choose this?
Is this kit compatible with the 3rd edition?
No, this kit correlates with Exploring Creation with Physical Science, 2nd edition only.
Is this for the 2nd or 3rd edition?
We're using it for the second edition, and we're glad we ordered it. Started this curriculum in August 2019.
does this kit come with an activities manual?
Nope. All the activities are in the physical science text. This kit does include a list of the other items you need to gather (like ice water etc )
Does this kit contain any items that are sectarian (religious)?
The lab kit doesn't, but the book that accompanies the kit contains references to God and how He made things. Not a lot but some.
Experiments are more likely to be done on time and well if supplies are on hand! This kit is perfect for that!
This kit has what we need. Our kitchen is well-stocked.
