FALL SESSION 2011

Dates will be published later.

TOPICS AND LESSONS

Grades 3-5 Foundations in Physical Science
Week 1 Standard Ways of Setting High Standards
Week 2 Know How to Go With the Flow
Week 3 Realizing the Gravity of the Situation
Week 4 The Mass Appeal of Stability
Week 5 Going Nowhere Fast with Inertia
Week 6 Newton's (i.e. God's) Laws of Motion
Week 7 Causes and Effects of Heat-They're Cool
Week 8 The Moving Story of Kinetic Energy
Week 9 Matter of Fact, it Reacts

Concepts in science can be as simple as making a "two-loop airplane", as complex as the difference between speed and acceleration, as exciting as chemical reactions, or as serious as the effects of inertia on bike safety. These are just a few of the activities that are part of this fall's program designed to show that the ultimate foundation of physical science and all of science is the Word of God.
Grades 6-8 Biological Science through Plant Studies
Week 1 Like a Tree Planted by S treams of Water
Week 2 Getting to the Roots of the Matter
Week 3 How Capillary Action Stems from Stems
Week 4 Pretty Petals, Sticky Stigmas and More
Week 5 Designer Flowers by God Himself
Week 6 How Seeds Travel and Travel and Travel
Week 7 Photosynthesis-It's Easier Said than Done
Week 8 Leaf Collectibles on Display
Week 9 And God Breathed the Chemistry of Life

Many aspects of science illustrate the wisdom of God, but few display it more beautifully than the study of living plants. Students will learn not only how each part of a plant is functional, but also that it works in concert with every other part in coordinated acts of directed purpose. As the lesson titles show, plants can reveal how the Creator's love of diversity provides service and enjoyment for all.

WINTER SESSION 2012

Dates will be published later.

TOPICS AND LESSONS

Grades 3-5 Energy and Motion
Week 1 Working Under (Steam) Pressure
Week 2 Cool Packs and Spool Racers
Week 3 Graphic Examples of Patterns
Week 4 Follow the Bouncing (Energy) Ball
Week 5 Cow Magnetism and Science
Week 6 Nutty Balancing Acts
Week 7 Big Digs for Spinigigs
Week 8 Doing Cartwheels over Energy
Week 9 Desk Chairs and Gyroscopes

Students in grades 3-5 certainly have energy, and in these lessons they get to use it in exciting and productive ways. Each class includes many hands on experiments designed to build an understanding of a variety of sources and uses of energy laws and patterns, put into creation by the source of all power, the Creator himself. They might get tired just thinking about it.
Grades 6-8 Introduction to Chemistry - Part I
Week 1 Common Elements and Symbols
Week 2 Physical Properties of Matter
Week 3 Chemical Properties of Matter
Week 4 Performing Chemical Reactions
Week 5 Candle and Bubble Chemistry
Week 6 Elements and Compounds
Week 7 Balancing Chemical Equations
Week 8 Atoms, Molecules and Ions
Week 9 Chemical Bonding and Atomic Numbers

Colossians 1:16 says that God created all things visible and invisible. What better place to observe both than in the study of the chemical world, all the way from the dramatic effects of chemical changes in a test tube to the invisible but powerful forces of atomic structure. Through safe, directed experiments students will experience God's greatness magnified in ways for all to see.

SPRING SESSION 2012

Dates will be published later.

TOPICS AND LESSONS

Grades 3-5 Senses and Spring
Week 1 Getting Pupils to Really See the Light
Week 2 An Eye-opening Experience in Braille
Week 3 Having (Optical) Illusions of Greatness
Week 4 Hearing How Ears Hear
Week 5 Learning at the Speed of Sound
Week 6 If it Smells Like a Nose, It's a Nose
Week 7 Tasting Tongues and Terrific Teeth
Week 8 Touch is Only Skin Deep
Week 9 Sensational Sights and Sounds of Spring

God not only created a beautiful and exciting world, he also gave us the tools to enjoy and use it. In each lesson students will use their own senses to discover how they work and how they can be kept healthy for years to come. Stereovision, echolocation, and olfactory I.D.s are just a few of the methods used to encourage new appreciation of our daily gifts, and all ending with the sheer enjoyment of the coming spring.
Grades 6-8 Introduction to Chemistry - Part II
Week 1 Laying all Your Atoms on the Periodic Table
Week 2 Whats the Matter with Conserving Matter?
Week 3 Using Phenolphthalein is Easier Done than Said
Week 4 Everything but the Kitch en Zinc
Week 5 The Basics of Acids and Bases
Week 6 Chemically Calculating in Neutral
Week 7 The Acid Test for Antacids
Week 8 Carbon Chemistrys Charming Characteristics
Week 9 Better Homes & Gardens & Animals & People

The Periodic Table may look imposing, but it is a vivid example of how God displays his design, plan and purpose through the world of chemistry. That concept is further explored through safe experiments on acid-base properties, hydrogen generation, antacid evaluation, and organic compounds. From molecular models to kitchen (and garden) chemistry the diversity of God's atomic building blocks can be appreciated with joy.
