Lapbook Journals are designed to bring a more hands on learning aspect to all levels of Apologia science. This product includes 599 pages of helpful and organized tools for improved retention of this challenging topic ~ You choose which pages to use. Journal pages featuring decorative borders and eye pleasing graphics are included for all of the ¿On Your Own¿ questions. These are helpful and save time because the student doesn¿t have to re-write the questions and the journal pages can be easily organized into 3-ring binders. Review Questions for each module are represented in 2 formats, for the student to decide which to use. He may choose the journaling pages for these questions OR these questions may be completed on colorful booklets which each student can cut out and assemble. Practice Problem Questions are represented in journaling pages as well, so that the student has neatly organized space for each question. The Lab Report pages are partially completed with the list of supplies, complete instructions and procedures, they provide a consistent and orderly means of recording the outcome of each lab studied. We have recently developed Vocabulary Flash Cards to correlate with this book as well, and they are sold separately.

This should be the last course a student takes before high school biology. Typically, we recommend that the student take this course during the same year that he or she is taking prealgebra. Exploring Creation With Physical Science provides a detailed introduction to the physical environment and some of the basic laws that make it work. The fairly broad scope of the book provides the student with a good understanding of the earth's atmosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere. It also covers details on weather, motion, Newton's Laws, gravity, the solar system, atomic structure, radiation, nuclear reactions, stars, and galaxies. The second edition of our physical science course has several features that enhance the value of the course: * There is more color in this edition as compared to the previous edition, and many of the drawings that are in the first edition have been replaced by higher-quality drawings. * There are more experiments in this edition than there were in the previous one. In addition, some of the experiments that were in the previous edition have been changed to make them even more interesting and easy to perform. * Advanced students who have the time and the ability for additional learning are directed to online resources that give them access to advanced subject matter. * To aid the student in reviewing the course as a whole, there is an appendix that contains questions which cover the entire course. The solutions and tests manual has the answers to those questions. Because of the differences between the first and second editions, students in a group setting cannot use both. They must all have the same edition. A further description of the changes made to our second edition courses can be found in the sidebar on page 32.
