Science 4 exposes students to the wonders of God’s creation, beginning with a study of plants and animals. Students learn about God’s gift of the earth, as well as weather and the majesty of the planets and constellations. Students conclude their study with an introduction to the principles of matter, energy, sound, light, magnetism, and electricity.

The course consists of a colorful hardcover textbook, five LightUnit workbooks, and two Answer Keys (both required).

Sunrise Edition

Science 5 uses the textbook God’s Marvelous Gifts to introduce the student to the rich resources God has created. Students explore the physical world, plants, the heavens, animal life, and the human body. Science supplies for this course are available from Home Science Tools. View the course scope and sequence.

There are two study options. Both options require the textbook.

LightUnit Study Method

The LightUnit study is recommended for homeschools and schools where teacher involvement is limited. Five LightUnit workbooks provide exercises, daily review, quizzes, and tests. This study method includes five LightUnit workbooks, a textbook, and two Answer Keys. There is no Teacher’s Guide.

Textbook Study Method

The Textbook study uses the questions provided in the textbook. This method is better suited for classrooms where teachers provide instruction and review. This study method consists of a textbook, Tests Pack, and a Teacher’s Guide. We recommend this course for 4th grade when using the Textbook study.

Sunrise Edition

Science 6 gives students a solid basis in a variety of scientific subjects including astronomy, weather, climate, and human anatomy. Science supplies for this course are available from Home Science Tools.
