Course Description: Considering Gods Creation: Universe, Earth, Plants, and Weather. Students in Considering Gods Creation will review the natural science that correlates with each day of creation. We will play games, sing songs, have arts and crafts, notebook, and have meaningful experiments throughout the year. We will study the universe, earth, rocks and minerals, weather, and plants. We will attempt to get a glimpse of our awesome Creator through His creation. Each week, we will learn about a scientific topic, expand our scientific vocabulary and introduce a song or poem to help us remember our topic, read the Bible, have an activity/notebook. Most importantly our view of the world will be shaped by the One who made it.
