Apologia Advantage Set - General Science 3rd Edition
By Apologia Educational Ministries
Designed to be a student's first systematic introduction to the sciences, Apologia's 7th-grade Exploring Creation with General Science, 3rd Ed. explores broad topics such as the scientific method, designing experiments, simple machines, geology, archaeology, biology, and more, with a large focus on Earth Science (astronomy, meteorology, oceanography, earth study, geology, paleontology, and environmental science). Hands-on experiments are included throughout, giving students practical experience as they discover the principles behind science and learn how to record and report data. Presented in a conversational format, the author walks students through how to complete experiments, how to identify important parts of information they read, and how to take notes. The final module is a project of creating a Rube-Goldberg machine, incorporating many of the scientific principles they learned throughout the year. Students will learn to see God's hand in all of life as they learn about the world He made; they will also read testimonies from modern-day scientists who interpret data through a Christian worldview. Following the lesson plan, students will complete the course in 33 weeks with lessons assigned 4 days per week.
The Student Notebook will help organize your student's work and keep them on track while also serving as an interactive study guide. Features include:
The solutions manual contains answers to the questions in the "study guide" module-end section in the textbook and the tests, as well as a copy of the student tests. The test packet includes 13 tests for one student with a variety of matching, fill-in-the-blank, multiple choice, and short answer questions.
The audiobook contains a complete audio recording of the textbook. Although the audio for the complete text and "On Your Own" problems is included on the CD, the audio for the study guides, tests, and answers is not included. Please note you must play this CD in an MP3-compatible CD player or on a computer.

Exploring Creation with Physical Science Student Textbook, 2nd Edition
By Dr. Jay L. Wile / Apologia Educational Ministries
In this study of Physical Science, you'll be introduced to the stunning world you live in, as well as the universe around it. From the composition of air to icebergs to astrophysics, you will receive thorough lessons in each element of the physical world. Sixteen modules are included, that are designed to be completed in a total of 32 weeks time, though the course can be adjusted to your own needs. "On your own" questions throughout the text are designed to help cement concepts, while "Study Guide" questions prepare for tests. All information that must be memorized is centered and in bold text, and all definitions and important terms are also bolded. Experiments using only household equipment, graphics, illustrations, charts and other visual representation of various concepts are also included for maximum clarity.
This second edition is newly updated, with more color illustrations and higher-quality drawings. Fuller responses to student questions; easy-to-perform (and more engaging!) experiments; in-text graphics for online resources; additional material for advanced learners; and an extra test booklet (sold separately) are also new improvements. Topics include the atmosphere; hydrosphere; weather; structure of Earth; environmentalism; physics of motion; Newton's laws; gravity; and astrophysics. 510 pages, hardcover. Due to these changes, editions should not be mixed.
For 8th grade students.

This is followed by each module's notebooking pages, which include blank note-taking pages along with room to answer the "on your own" questions, study guide questions, and extra practice problems. This is followed by the "Experiments" section, which features lab reports for every experiment in the text; forms include the objective, materials needed, primary question for the experiment, and procedure, as well as room to record the student's hypothesis, data, and observations. Finally there's a brief section on creating and interpreting graphs, which will help students understand how to create accurate and appropriate line graphs from data, and also how to interpret the most common line graphs. A complete daily schedule breaks down the text, notebook pages, tests, and experiments into weekly and daily blocks; following the schedule will enable students to finish the course in 34 weeks.
