Curriculum Review Considering God's Creation
Curriculum Review by Harriet Yoder
Based
on the creation week,
Considering God’s Creation is a well-written multi-level science program
that is neatly divided into 36 lessons. The wonderful teacher’s guide is
indispensable, informative, and “family friendly.” The easy-to-follow lessons
are designed to flow smoothly with a high level of information for students and
low level of teacher effort. This is a plus when teaching many levels at one
sitting.
Reproducible student workbooks are available giving you the
option of buying extra workbooks or making copies (for single family or single
class use). Each carefully thought out lesson has accompanying work pages. The
variety and quality of these work pages will keep a child’s attention. The
result is a portfolio quality work page that demonstrates learning in science.
If you assign an older child to work with a younger child on
each lesson, they will learn to cooperate. Their hands will be kept busy while
you read and teach the lesson. The “teaching” part consists of the natural
discussion inspired by the reading. This is homeschooling at its best.
Mrs. Mortimer and Mrs. Smith successfully incorporated the
wonder of God’s creation into their Bible section. They creatively and
scientifically selected scripture to support each lesson. Armed with Bibles, you
can assign verses for each child to look up, read, and discuss.
I highly recommend Considering God’s Creation when you
are selecting science curriculum. It is a one year program that is worthwhile to
do--a homeschool classic!
