N1  - The biblically based "Gods Design for Heaven & Earth" series was designed by homeschoolers for homeschoolers! This three-book set includes "Our Planet Earth", "Our Universe" and "Our Weather & Water". Now designed for grades 1-8, full-color photos, diagrams, illustrations, special features and fun facts take the tediousness out of science, while key concepts are continually reinforced and explored through chapter review and activities. Color-coded by age group, chapter reviews are separated for 1st-2nd grade, 3rd-5th grade, and 6th-8th grade students to quickly find their assignments, all of which are conveniently located together.

This easy-to-use curriculum is ideal for anyone who wants to teach life science from a young-earth, creationist point of view. This set features all three student books in the "Gods Design for Heaven & Earth Series"; each contains 35 lessons with one final project to merge all the lessons together. At the pace of 3 lessons a week (approximately 30-45 minutes each), you can cover this 3-book series within a year. Books feature partially reproducible pages, softcover with glossary and index. Grades 1-8. NKJV Scripture used.

The sold-separately God's Design for Heaven & Earth: Teacher Supplement & Student CD-ROM features an introduction, appendices, answers to all book questions, worksheets, quizzes, and includes the Student Supplement CD-Rom with printable student worksheets & tests.
