This is an awesome science program. I am using it for my daughter in 2nd grade. Even though it is based on 3rd to 6th grade it is easily adptable for younger children and the hands on parts are very fun! With the program having as much hands on time as reading I dont have any complaints from my daughter. She is a visual learner so this is a great product for her. And the projects so far are quite simple and can be done using typical household items wich i love! Another thing I am enjoying about the program so far is that it teaches creaction based but also the evolution view point in a very special way. It shows the child the different view points and offers scripture and creation science to show the children how to defend their beliefs later in life even though the child may not realize this at the time. I as a parent realized it though and appreciated it!

I am using the book with my fifth grader. It is very well written. We are getting a lot of information out if it. The lessons are shorter than expected, but they are very valuable. I select our weekly spelling words from the vocabulary words in the book. Every Thursday my son has to use these spelling words to write an essay about the topic. I do supplement this particular book in order to give my child a deeper understanding. However, it is a wonderful tool for the christian home school teacher.

This is an excellent book for grade school levels. It is wonderful for homeschooling because it has all the information, answer keys and other items contained all in one text. Where more information might be wanted or needed, web addresses are included right on the lesson pages! I am so thankful to have found this book.

While searching for a science curriculum to continue to build upon the scientific knowledge base our child has already acquired I discovered "Christian Kids Explore Biology" by Bright Ideas Press.
"Christian Kids Explore Biology" is a science curriculum which follows the teachings of "intelligent design" with the influence of the educational philosophies of Charlotte Mason and Classical Education.
The curriculum is divided into 35 lessons covering the topics of Biology Basics, Plants in God's World, Birds of the Earth, Mammals in the Wild, The Human Factor, Reptiles All Around, Insects High and Low, and Water Creatures. The lessons are divided into teaching time, checking it out, hands on time, quick quiz, memory work, vocabulary, coloring pages and "living books" to read. The curriculum contains notes for the teacher on "how to use this book" along with appendices including reproducible forms/maps, memorization lists, Scripture memory,ABC Animal Book, coloring pages, recipes/supplemental activities, answer key and book/resource list.

Christian Kids Explore Biology by Stephanie Redmond is designed to provide a year of science teaching in the life sciences from a creation-based perspective for grades 3-6. Though it is written with families in mind and can be geared up or down, I found that it is a bit much for younger students, and you should definitely wait until your oldest is in 3rd and up to dive in as a family.
The 35 lessons are designed to be completed at a rate of around 1/week and the book includes coloring pages, printables, hands-on activity ideas, memory verses, supplemental reading lists, recipes, and a lot more. Each unit includes a test as well and the coloring pages for each unit are really spectacular. The main topics covered include: Biology Basics, Plants in God’s World, Birds of the Earth, Mammals in the Wild, The Human Factor, Reptiles All Around, Insects High and Low, and Water Creatures.
Bright Ideas Press has also put together a downloadable bundle of all the printable sheets (a separate purchase) which is awesome! That is such a boon to me – much simpler than scanning each page I need in order to get a copy out of the book.
Like other titles published by Bright Ideas Press, Christian Kids Explore Biology is written by a real homeschooling mom, and as a result – it’s realistic! I hope I don’t come across as slacker-mom here, but this curriculum is pretty balanced – it has straight forward teaching sessions twice a week leaving room for additional readings, delight-driven studies, and hands-on activities. It doesn’t micro-manage your entire science schedule for you (though it is slightly scripted and you can just open it and read the main content to your children.
If you want everything and the kitchen sink in a science program, this one isn’t for you – it covers the basics succinctly, in a timely fashion without bogging down or drowning you in detail – that leaves room for flexibility and your own expansions if you want to add them. Otherwise, it’s a good core program that gets the job done from a creation-based perspective.

The vocab lists are huge. The book only gives you a page or 2 to work on the rest is supplemental that you must purchase from another website. Everthing is apendexed at the back of the book. Color pages are of poor quality and not very pleasing to the eye. Not a great purchase for us.

Review 8 for Christian Kids Explore Biology
Overall Rating:

These "Christian Kids Explore..." books are excellent. I took one star away from this one because it can get a little dry at times but it's still great. The best advice I can give you is to buy all of the books in this series (there are 4: this one, Chemistry, Physics, and Earth & Space) at once, and alternate them (do 1 unit in one book, then a unit in another, etc.) This will prevent you from getting burned out on studying the same subject for the whole year. I love these books because they present a formal study of science, with the vocabulary words and quizzes and all that, but it also has fun experiments the kids enjoy, and it's all from a Christian perspective. Highly recommended!!

I have the Christian Kids Explore Chemistry book and loved it, so I thought I'd try the Biology book, and I'm glad I did! These are excellent books and I highly recommend them, especially for parents who are teaching more than one grade level.
