This course is designed to be the last science course the student takes before high school biology. Thus, we generally recommend it as an 8th grade course. However, if your student was recently in public school, he or she might need to wait until 9th grade to use it. The course discusses such topics as the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, weather, the structure of the earth, environmentalism, the physics of motion, Newton’s Laws, gravity, and astrophysics. The author especially concentrates on the myths generated by the hysterical environmentalist movement. There are many hands-on experiments to do, and they all use household chemicals and supplies. It is an excellent course for preparing the student to take a college-prep high school science curriculum.
The hardbound Student Textbook contains all the student material, on-your-own questions and solutions, laboratory exercises, and chapter study guides. The list of household items for all labs can be found near the front of the text. Color photos & illustrations.
The softbound Solutions & Test Manual contains answers to chapter study guides, tests, and test solutions. B&W
Companion CD-ROM is the multimedia companion to the printed general science textbook. It contains all of the multimedia add-ons that can be found on the Exploring Creation with General Science CD-ROM, but excludes the text of the course. This is the perfect item for those who want to use a printed textbook but are interested in the extras that can be found on the CD-ROM. the videos and animations are viewed using Microsoft Internet Explorer. Like the CD courses, however, this CD does not use the Internet. The Microsoft Internet Explorer is simply used as the user interface because it is easy and familiar to most students. Please see information on the full CD-ROM version for System Requirements.
