ScienceDuring the grammar stage for us, science is mostly a matter of exploring the world, going to science museums, doing ad hoc experiments, and finding out the answers to questions about the world around us. Starting toward the end of the grammar stage and through the logic stage, we use the Prentice Hall Explorer books. For high school, after much research, we decided to use Dr. Jay Wile's books. Although our family doesn't agree completely with his young Earth creationist theories, we love the structure very sensible structure of his books and use it as an opportunity to talk about the intersection of faith and science. In case your wondering, I believe that God most certainly created the universe and is our loving Father, but whether it literally took 6 days or millions of years is something I don't really get worked up about. The latter possibility seems more likely to me, but I'll have to wait until Heaven to know for sure!
