Customer Reviews for Answers In Genesis God's Design for Heaven & Earth: Our Universe

The biblically based "Gods Design for Heaven and Earth" series was designed by homeschoolers for homeschoolers! Our Universe is explored through a focus on space models & tools, outer space, sun & moon, planets, nebulae, stars, comets, meteors, the space program, and what it takes to be an astronaut! 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 earth & space science from a young-earth, creationist point of view.
