Exploring Creation with Science Series
Publisher/Author
Apologia
Other Information
Level: 7-12
Description
“Apologia courses are among the few options for college-prep lab science courses for junior and senior high that do not require someone to teach the courses. Another factor that makes them popular is their very reasonable cost. Apologia offers courses for general science, physical science, biology, chemistry, and physics. I appreciate the options that accommodate a range of student goals—from the non-science oriented student who just wants the basics through the ambitious, college-bound student who wants advanced level courses. All courses offer engaging lab experiences.” – Apologia

Foundations of Economics
Publisher/Author
Shawn Ritenour, Sold by Veritas Press
Other Information
Level: 7-12
Description
“Foundations of Economics: A Christian View is an introduction to economics from an explicitly Christian perspective. It maintains that there is no conflict between Christian doctrine and economic science, properly understood. Therefore, Foundations of Economics has three goals: to demonstrate that the foundations of economic laws are derived from a Christian understanding of nature and humanity; to explain basic economic principles of the market economy and apply them to various economic problems, such as poverty and economic development; and to show the relationship between Christian ethics and economic policy. Foundations of Economics: A Christian View accomplishes these goals by rooting the fundamental principles of human action in the Christian doctrines of creation and humanity, and integrating them with the Christian ethic of private property. This volume explains the relevance of economics for fulfilling the cultural mandate set forth in the first two chapters of Genesis, by demonstrating how economics can help us in our task to be fruitful and multiply and have dominion over the earth, without spoiling creation, starving to death, or descending into a barbaric struggle for survival.” – Veritas Press

Lyrical Earth Science and Lyrical Life Science
Publisher/Author
Veritas Press
Other Information
Level: k-6
Description
““Promoting scientific literacy through song“ is how these clever folks describe this fabulous tool. We don`t teach science in grammar school, because teaching meaningful science requires certain language and mathematical mastery. Yet scientific memorization is important, and this is the tool. You`ll be singing “Oh Bacteria“ instead of “Oh Suzanna“ and “Cold Blooded Vertebrates“ instead of “When Johnny Comes Marching Home.“ This will be worth entertaining the grandparents at Thanksgiving. Includes CD, text and workbook.” – Veritas Press

Noeo Science
Publisher/Author
Logos Press
Other Information
Level: k-6
Description
“Noeo Science provides a quality homeschool science curriculum for elementary students, including award-winning experiment kits, fascinating books, and easy-to-use instructor’s guides. Many homeschooling parents do not have a science background and may feel a bit intimidated about teaching science at home, especially when it comes to the experiments!
The high-quality books and experiment kits provided by Noeo have been carefully selected by Dr. Randy Pritchard, a veterinarian and homeschooling father. Dr. Pritchard searched intensely through library catalogs, websites, and hundreds of books before deciding on what he (and the educators here at Logos Press) believe to be the absolute best resources available for homeschool science. Even the most science-phobic teachers and students will enjoy this curriculum.” – Logos Press
