278419: Science in the Atomic Age SetClick here for the Berean Builders: Science in the Atomic Age curriculum

Science in the Atomic Age is an engaging laboratory-based, middle school science course that covers a wide range of topics that are of interest to modern scientists. Introducing scientific concepts in the context of history, students will follow the work of the scientists who lived during the mid-1900s period known as "The Atomic Age." This easy-to-read text starts with an introduction to the scientific method and the role of experiments before moving on to describe the story of how scientists developed the quantum-mechanical model of the atom. They'll learn about the experiments that led to this model along with the stories of the scientists who did the experiments. Students will then build on their understanding to learn about the Periodic Table of the Elements and how to interpret it. Further chapters cover covalent and ionic compounds, the incorrect cubical model of the atom, the discovery of DNA's role in life, cells, and more. These topics are all discussed in the context of history, explaining how specific scientific advances led to today's scientific explanations. This allows students to learn not only the current scientific understanding of these topics, but also how scientists reached that understanding.

Berean Builders: Earth Science For Grades 7 - 9

278463: Discovering Design with Earth Science Set, 2 VolumesClick here for the Berean Builders: Earth Science curriculum

Discovering Design with Earth Science is a laboratory-based earth science course can be used for either eighth or ninth grade. Most homeschooled students should be ready for it in eighth grade, but privately- and publicly schooled students will be more comfortable with it in ninth grade. It covers the general properties of the earth's geosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. Students learn about all the sections of the geosphere (such as core, mantle, crust, etc.) and then they study each in more detail. When studying the earth's crust, they learn about minerals, rocks, and the rock cycle. Plate tectonics is then covered, which leads to a discussion of seismic waves, earthquakes, and volcanoes. Students then learn about fossils and how both uniformitarians and catastrophists interpret those fossils as well as the sedimentary rocks in which they are found. A discussion that compares uniformitarianism and catastrophism follows, in which the strengths and weaknesses of each view are covered.
