🔎A question I get asked a lot in my years as a homeschool coach is, “How do I find a science curriculum with a Christian worldview?”
🔭Parents are also looking for science that is engaging and fun, while at the same time also embracing the logic of creation science and not trying to sneakily convince kids that we all magically came from nothingness that randomly exploded other nothingness-es and then was goo for a billion years… then tada! People! But, I digress…
🚀Here are some science-tastic ideas that’ll make your homeschool burst with excitement!
🥽Science doesn’t have to be dry and boring. It’s a world of wonder, discovery, and awe-inspiring moments and fun memories! Like making volcano eruptions in the kitchen sink! Or making square cube-shaped bubbles! Or shooting off a rocket in the backyard!
🔬Science is hands-on, minds-on, and hearts-on learning that’ll ignite a lifelong love for the world around us.
🤓I want my kids to ask WHY and try to solve their questions themselves. Equipping them with the scientific method and a belief that there is a divine logic behind the universe is a gift.
📖As the Bible reminds us, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” (Psalm 19:1) Through science, we can explore the intricate details of God’s creation and marvel at His infinite wisdom.
🌠So, are you ready to embark on a science adventure with your kiddos? Let’s dive in and explore some fantastic resources and ideas that’ll make science a joyous part of your homeschool!
The Good and the Beautiful Science:
For our younger explorers, The Good and the Beautiful science curriculum is my absolute favorite! It’s bursting with colorful pages, captivating videos, and engaging activities that’ll keep your kiddos on the edge of their seats. From observing the wonders of nature, as “the earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it” (Psalm 24:1), to exploring the human body, “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14), this curriculum covers a wide range of topics in a way that’s both fun and educational. I wish I’d known about it earlier in my kids’ homeschooling time, but we still have loved using it!
The 101 Series:
As our children grow, so do their scientific curiosities! The 101 Series is a fantastic option for high schoolers. With a charming homeschool dad, hilarious jokes, and visually stunning videos, this series makes science approachable and enjoyable. It covers a wide range of topics, from biology to astronomy, echoing the vastness of God’s creation, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made” (Romans 1:20).
Berean Builders Science:
Dr. Jay Wile’s science courses are another excellent choice, especially for upper grades. His “Science in the Beginning” course is a great starting point, and his physics curriculum is top-notch. With a biblical worldview and rigorous content, these courses will challenge and inspire your students to see “the heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands” (Psalm 19:1). And guess what? Timberdoodle has put together awesome lab kits for each course, saving you a ton of time and effort! You can find Dr. Wile’s courses here and the lab kits at Timberdoodle. Trust me – these lab kits save you a lot of time!
Answers in Genesis Science:
If you’re looking for a creation-based science curriculum, Answers in Genesis homeschool science courses are a wonderful option. While I haven’t personally tried them yet, they look amazing and promise to be a great resource for your homeschool.
We have used Answers in Genesis resources galore during our homeschool years, including their books, website for kids, magazine, videos, and more.
Steve Spangler Science:
For some extra science fun, we absolutely love Steve Spangler! He has a show on Amazon Prime called “Xploration DIY Sci,” filled with exciting experiments and demonstrations that reveal the wonders of the world around us. He also offers stand-alone science kits or a subscription service, which we enjoyed when our kids were little. We did every single kit!
While it is not directly creation science based, that subject is expertly avoided in favor of fun and engaging science facts that people across the spectrums of beliefs can appreciate.
It’s a fantastic way to spark curiosity and make science come alive!
🧭Take nature walks, visit science museums, and conduct simple experiments at home. Let’s make science a joyful and memorable part of our homeschool journey, always remembering that “in Him we live and move and have our being” (Acts 17:28).
🌎Let’s inspire and encourage our kids to stay curious, do experiments, and be amazed about the world and grateful for the God who made it for us to explore.
