    New! Astronomy

    Your whole family can set off on an adventure through God’s universe with Science Shepherd’s video-based Astronomy: God’s Universe homeschool curriculum! With two levels that cover upper elementary through grade 9, students learn about the solar system and planets before venturing deeper into space to explore the stars, galaxies, nebula and other astronomical wonders that God has created. Along the way, a special focus is given to discussing the merits of the big bang and creation origin models to clearly show that, scientifically, the big bang model fails while the creation model is consistent with astronomical observations.  Using a 36-week schedule, Level A is perfect for ages 10 – 13 with 66 lessons (that’s over 7 video hours) of age-appropriate content. Level B is suitable for ages 12 and up, with over 95 lessons (11+ video hours), covering the same material, and including more complex content, such as discussions about antimatter, dark matter, solar matter, binary stars, energy, relativity, and more. Curriculum workbooks for both levels and workbook answer keys are sold separately. 5 DVDs. Grades 5 – 9.
