Science in the Scientific Revolution Textbook

Science in the Scientific Revolution is the third book in a hands-on, multilevel elementary science program that introduces scientific concepts using history as its guide. It covers the scientific works of natural philosophers 1543 to the end of the 1600s. Because the course covers science as it was developed, it discusses a wide range of topics including astronomy, human anatomy, medicine, botany, zoology, heliocentrism, geocentrism, gases, pressure, electricity, fossils, microbiology, binary numbers, gravity, conservation laws, and the laws of motion. Throughout the course, the student learns that most of the great natural philosophers who lived during this time were devout Christians who were studying the world around them to learn more about the nature of God. As a result, students can see how a person’s worldview affects his or her scientific conclusions. Because of its unique design, the course can be used by all elementary-age students. Each lesson contains an interesting hands-on activity that helps illustrate the scientific concept that is being discussed, and it concludes with three different levels of review exercises. Students do whatever review exercise matches their specific level of understanding.

This book is a full year’s science curriculum of 90 lessons. Experiments and activities use household items or things that are sold in supermarkets, drug stores, or hardware stores. Note: Answers to textbook review questions along with optional tests & answers are found in Science in the Scientific Revolution Helps & Hints purchased separately.
