This course will proclaim God's handiwork through the study of the physical universe. Affirming the young earth Creationary view of the Earth's history and rejecting the uniformitarian/evolutionary models pervading our culture, we will study aspects of Earth science such as origins, rocks and minerals, mountains and movement, erosion, solar system and much more!
Lab work will consist of an in-class lab approximately once a month, a lab video once or twice a month, and frequent "at-home" labs. Students will be assigned 4 days of homework which will require about 45 - 60 minutes each. Grading based on homework, tests, lab work, papers, and one science project in the Spring semester

Students will need to have Space and Earth Science Student Text (3rd ed.) published by Bob Jones University. ISBN: 1-59166-299-0.
I am wife to Ed and mother to six children; our eldest getting married in August and our youngest 3 years old. We have been homeschooling for 15 years via Charlotte Mason's gentle art of learning. The aspect I love the most about studying earth science is how marvelously it points to our creator. . . "the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament showeth his handiwork."! Psalms 19:1
The class fee will be $75.00 per semester and includes lab and copy fees and purchase of tests. Payment of $25.00 will be expected the 3rd Monday of Sept, Oct., and Nov. (2nd semester - Jan, Feb, and April)
