Have you ever wished that you had the time to design your own science curriculum, yet you want to make sure that your children study all the foundational science topics that they might find in a standard text? Are you trying to avoid non-Catholic materials? Does your teaching style tend toward a hands-on, unit-study approach?
Easy as 1, 2, 3: Catholic Overview of Science is not a science text, but a Catholic science program which begins with colorful books that the children themselves help select from the library, adding activities and experiments that weave our holy Faith into every lesson. This overview fills the gap between text and unit study. It uses more hands-on activities and offers more flexibility than a text but, unlike most unit studies, it also provides definite guidelines about what should be studied, following the typical course of study found more-or-less nationally.
Units include "God Made Me!" (Body Systems), "Caring for the Temple of the Holy Spirit" (Health and Nutrition), "God Makes Matter," "Creator of the Universe" (Solar System/Space), "Bugs," and six others.
