Science

Description:

This course provides a detailed introduction to numerous physical science topics, including: air, atmosphere, water, the hydrosphere, earth and the lithosphere, weather, the physics of motion, forces in creation, waves and sound, light, and astrophysics (gravity, the solar system, radiation, stars, and galaxies).

Description:

This course teaches fundamental properties and behavior of matter and energy with a focus on their chemical and physical interactions. It includes application to familiar processes and devices. It also provides a basic introduction to the mathematical aspects of science, laying a firm foundation for future studies in chemistry, physics, and other fields.

Description:

This course is a comprehensive study of the science of biology. It utilizes a Christian perspective in examining the biological systems and processes of plants and animals. The book also features an analysis of human biological systems and processes, as well as a discussion of creation verses evolution.

Description:

This course offers a complete study of biology from a Christian early-earth creationist perspective. Topics include botany, zoology, human anatomy and physiology, cellular and molecular biology, and scientific methodology and philosophy as these interact with natural history and the theory of evolution.

Description:

This course provides a detailed introduction to the methods and concepts of general biology with heavy emphasis on the vocabulary of biology. Topics include the scientific method; the five kingdoms (monera, protista, fungi, animalia, and plantae); taxonomy; microscopy; biochemistry; cellular biology; and genetics.

Description:

This course helps students understand the stars from a Christian perspective. It points to God’s control over and plan for the stars as part of His creation.

Description:

This high school chemistry course begins with the definition of matter and progresses through chemical reactions, solutions, acids and bases, organic chemistry, biochemistry, and nuclear changes. In a quest to understand the world the God created, students are exposed to both the visual, macroscopic effects of chemical reactions, as well as the unseen microscopic changes that are the actual chemistry. Case studies, webquests, mini-lab activities, ethics boxes, and review questions help students think like scientists and view chemistry from a biblical perspective.

Description:

This course explores a wide range of topics related to the chemistry field, all based on biblical principles. Topics include elements and compounds, chemical reactions, chemical thermodynamics, structure of the atom, the periodic table, intermolecular forces, metals, non-metals, chemical kinetics, chemical equilibrium, acids, bases, oxidation, and nuclear chemistry.

Description:

This beginning high school chemistry course discusses measurement and significant figures; the chemistry of energy, heat, and temperature; states of matter and chemical equations; stoichiometry; atomic and molecular structure; acid/base reactions; the chemistry of solutions; the gas laws; thermodynamics; kinetics; chemical equilibrium; and redox reactions.

Description:

This general physics course covers motion in one and two dimensions with an emphasis on vectors, applications of Newton’s laws, gravity, energy and work, periodic motion, momentum, waves, optics, magnetism, electrostatics, electrodynamics, and circuits.

Description:

This course introduces basic physics concepts. Coursework examines fundamental laws of matter and energy, velocity and acceleration, thermodynamics and heat, acoustics and sound waves, reflection and refraction of light, electricity, magnetism, and quantum theory.

Description:

This advanced biology course studies the detailed anatomy and physiology of the eleven organ systems of the human body (skin and bones, skeletal muscle, central nervous, peripheral nervous, endocrine, circulatory, lymphatic, digestive, respiratory, urinary, and reproductive systems).
