Introduce students to basic science concepts alongside worldview-shaping lessons from Answers in Genesis with the BJU Press Science 5 curriculum! The Student Text covers minerals & rocks, fossils & dinosaurs, energy & heat, ecosystems, sound, light, climate, and the respiratory and circulatory systems. Hands-on activities, "quick-check" questions, chapter summaries with "words to know" and "key ideas," and sidebars on fun science facts and history will build students' scientific skills as well as their knowledge of the scientific process.
The teacher's edition features reduced-size student pages in 1/4 of the two-page spread; they have the correct answers overlaid. A page and a half are devoted to lesson notes, including objectives, background information, project ideas, assessments, how to introduce the lesson, and the lesson itself. Semi-scripted teacher guide lessons include questions to ask in blue; correct answers in pink; directions for what to explain, display, distribute, or other teacher actions are printed in black.
The included Teacher's Toolkit CD provides instructional aids, rubrics, visuals, National Science Education Content Standards, and more.
Balance reading about science with actually doing science with the activity manual. It provides study skill worksheets, lab sheets, worldview lessons from Answers in Genesis, and other hands-on and critical-thinking based worksheets.
The Activity Manual Answer Key provides parents with full-size reproductions of the student pages with correct answers overlaid in an easy-to-read italic hot-pink font.
The Test booklet features questions that include matching, multiple choice, fill in the blank, and true/false. One test per chapter is included.
The Test Key features full-size reproductions of each test with the correct answers overlaid in italic, black text. Page numbers are not referenced.
