If all we ever offer our students is a textbook version of science, they will never get to \u201cown\u201d a discovery that they make during an experiment. Our world is not a world of chaos, and once students begin to see that they can observe a phenomenon, ask questions, and set up a methodical test to answer questions, science will no longer be a class but rather a means to discover their world.<\/p>\n

This middle school physical science course is specifically designed to be the second course taken during junior high. It is created to give middle school students an understanding of the basic world that surrounds them each day of their lives and the forces in creation so that they can appreciate the real-world relevance of scientific inquiry and the beauty of creation. We believe that students\u2019 educations should prepare them for life, not just an academic year.<\/p>\n

Inside this softcover student textbook,\u00a0Exploring Creation with Physical Science<\/em>, 3rd Edition, we continue to mentor middle school students with the process of note-taking through the use of colorful prompts that help your students learn what information is important to pull from the textbook. Please note that our Physical Science 3rd edition textbook has been reprinted in a softcover version.\u00a0 You can read our complete formal statement about this transition on our FAQ Knowledge Base\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Inside\u00a0Exploring Creation with Physical Science<\/em>, 3rd Edition, Softcover Textbook?<\/h3>\n

This course is specifically designed to help your student gain confidence in his or her science abilities. We continue to build on teaching them independence and responsibility for school work assigned. Your student will learn how to take thorough notes, answer questions with logical answers, and gain a solid foundation to build upon in high school.<\/p>\n

Throughout their academic school year, your students will conduct controlled experiments where they observe a problem, ask a question, formulate a testable hypothesis, and then conduct the experiment and analyze the data to see if their results support their hypothesis. This involves quantitative data that require measurements and the lab portion of this course guides students through the process.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s inside the 3rd\u00a0Edition:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • Coverage of chemistry, physics, and Earth science to help students gain a solid foundation to confidently complete high school level courses<\/li>\n
  • \u201cThink About This\u201d sections to help your student make a connection between science and the Creator<\/li>\n
  • ALL updated experiments with lab reports<\/li>\n
  • Rich graphics to help present and reinforce information and concepts in a visual way<\/li>\n
  • A suggested schedule in the front of the\u00a0Student Notebook<\/em>\u00a0and detailed schedule at the beginning of each lesson<\/li>\n
  • Detailed to-do list at the start of each lesson to help your student plan their assignments and work more independently<\/li>\n
  • Optional \u201cYou Do Science\u201d activities that are quick and easy, designed to help students truly comprehend the concepts they are learning<\/li>\n
  • Tests provided for each module, however, students are given many study helps via their student notes within the\u00a0Student Notebook a<\/em>nd Study Guide questions once they complete a module<\/li>\n
  • Complete step-by-step grading rubrics for parents, showing how to calculate a module grade from the student\u2019s module test, lab work, and character displayed throughout the module<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    A typical week requires studying science for about 1 hour a day for 4 days. During this time, students read an assigned portion of their textbook, stopping throughout each section to answer \u201cOn Your Own\u201d questions to test their comprehension before moving forward. Students self-check their answers against the detailed answers provided at the end of each module.\u00a0Laboratory exercises are conducted throughout each module so that students have a hands-on lab component in their scientific study. These have been designed to work easily in the homeschool environment.<\/p>\n

    At the end of each of the 15 modules, which take about 2 weeks each to complete, there are Study Guides to help students review their materials before taking their exams. Detailed answers to these questions are provided in the\u00a0Solutions and Tests Manual<\/em>.<\/p>\n

    Experiments, Hands-On Activities, and Topics in\u00a0Exploring Creation with Physical Science<\/em>, 3rd Edition<\/h3>\n

    There are even more hands-on activities than the previous editions. In addition to the required experiments, we\u2019ve added optional \u201cYou Do Science\u201d sections that are quick and easy activities to help students truly comprehend the concepts they are learning.\u00a0There are 36 experiments and 17 \u201cYou Do Science\u201d activities.<\/p>\n

    While students complete all experiments, only one formal lab report is required per module. Students are instructed on both informal and formal lab report writing techniques and will document all of their work in their notebooks. Don\u2019t worry, we walk through and explain every step and why it is essential!<\/p>\n

    Topics include:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Science \u2013 The Basics<\/li>\n
    • Chemistry \u2013 Properties and States of Matter<\/li>\n
    • Chemistry \u2013 Atomic Structure and the Periodic Table<\/li>\n
    • Chemistry \u2013 Chemical Bonds<\/li>\n
    • Chemistry \u2013 Reactions and Energy<\/li>\n
    • Physics \u2013 Motion<\/li>\n
    • Physics \u2013 Forces<\/li>\n
    • Physics \u2013 Energy<\/li>\n
    • Physics \u2013 Waves and Sound<\/li>\n
    • Physics \u2013 Light<\/li>\n
    • Physics \u2013 Electricity and Magnetism<\/li>\n
    • Earth Science \u2013 Our Earth<\/li>\n
    • Earth Science \u2013 Our Atmosphere and Beyond<\/li>\n
    • Chemistry and Physics in the Life Sciences<\/li>\n
    • Physical Science Research<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Please note, this is the softcover student textbook only. You will need the\u00a0Solutions and Tests Manual<\/em>\u00a0to complete this course.<\/strong><\/p>\n
