Science in the Beginning
By Dr. Jay L. Wile / Berean Builders Publishing, Inc

Science in the Beginning is an engaging, exciting, hands-on, multilevel elementary resource that is the first in a planned series of books by Dr. Jay Wile.

Introducing scientific concepts in the context of history, the days of creation are used as a structure through which a wide variety of scientific topics are introduced, including: light, energy conservation, air & water, botany, the solar system, zoology, and some aspects of human anatomy and physiology.

A total of 90 lessons are included; 15 for every creative day in the Genesis account. The first 12 are "normal" lessons and the last 3 are challenge lessons. Depending on how much science you wish to teach in your homeschool, there are enough lessons to cover every other day for the length of a school year, or, you can finish the book by only doing two lessons a week (and skipping the challenge lessons).

Students will love the hands-on activity that begins each lesson. Most are experiments (that have been field-tested for homeschoolers!), and include step by step directions to keep you on track. As this curriculum was designed for all elementary-aged students to use together, the main lesson text takes a conversational, easy-to-read tone that all students can comprehend; illustrations and photographs are integrated throughout. Review assignments close the lesson; questions are grouped for "youngest, older, and oldest" students. Students are instructed to keep a notebook, and the activities include both drawing and writing type notebook assignments. For evaluation, the notebook or oral questions can be used; tests are not included, but are in the Helps & Hints book (sold-separately).

Experiments use common household goods, though for some items that may not be on-hand, a list is provided at the beginning of the book. A full materials list for each creation-day chapter is also included for easy preparation.

299 pages with glossary and index. Hardcover. Elementary Grades K-6.

Discovering Design with Biology Set, 2 Volumes
By Dr. Paul Madtes Jr. and Dr. Jay L. Wile / Berean Builders Publishing, Inc

Discovering Design with Biology from Berean Builders is a comprehensive laboratory-based high school biology course, ideal for your college-bound student. With 180 hours of instruction, 16 units and 40 hands-on experiments, covering household, dissection, and microscope labs, this is a thorough introduction to how living organisms are designed and classified, how they interact with one another, and how they interact with their physical environment. Throughout the course, your student will see that life is the result of design and that organisms have been given the ability to adapt to their surroundings, as well as learn to identify the problems associated with the modern evolutionary synthesis. Grade 9 & 12.

Concepts covered include the chemical processes for life, the structures of RNA and DNA, cell design, and photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and cellular reproduction processes. After a thorough survey of the different kinds of organisms found in nature: archaea, bacteria, protists, fungi, invertebrates, vertebrates, and plants, your student will then learn about ecosystems and the biogeochemical cycles that keep environments hospitable to life. Labs include extracting DNA from fruit, examining the effects of temperature and pH on enzymes, exploring osmosis and diffusion, building a pedigree, culturing bacteria, growing and examining fungi, identifying the stages of mitosis, studying live bacteria that were cultured by the student, identifying budding in yeast, and analyzing the microscopic structure of plants and animals. There are also four dissection experiments: the earthworm, crayfish, fish, and frog.

In the Discovering Design with Biology textbook, "Comprehension Check" questions and experiments are provided throughout each chapter, and important scientific terms and vocabulary are underlined and defined. Each chapter ends with review questions to be completed before taking the chapter test. Comprehension Check & answers are at the end of each chapter. Each chapter has at least one experiment, with 40 experiments in total. Comprehension Check & answers are at the end of each chapter. 596 pages, hardcover.

The Answer Key & Tests for Discovering Design with Biology book includes answers to the chapter reviews in the student text, chapter tests and test answers, and two semester final exams and answers. 112 pages, softcover.

This kit includes:

• Discovering Design with Biology textbook
• Answer Key and Tests Book
