Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics

Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics by Jeannie Fulbright (Apologia) offers an immersive, hands-on introduction to foundational chemistry and physics concepts for elementary students (K-6). Designed with the Charlotte Mason approach, this course cultivates curiosity through interactive experiments, engaging narratives, and notebooking activities that make complex scientific principles accessible to young learners.

Students explore core topics such as matter, atoms, the Periodic Table, compounds, acids and bases, Newton’s Laws of Motion, friction, gravity, energy, electricity, and magnetism. The structured yet flexible format allows families to progress at their own pace—completing the course over a standard school year with two lessons per week.

To reinforce learning, the program includes two leveled notebooking journals: the Junior Notebooking Journal (K-3) and the Notebooking Journal (4-6). These journals provide age-appropriate activities, from coloring pages and simple summaries for younger students to more detailed note-taking and critical-thinking exercises for older learners.

By blending discovery-based experiments with thoughtful narration, Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics transforms abstract concepts into tangible understanding, fostering a lifelong appreciation for science.
