What is Learning About Science Collection, Level 3 (Cursive)?

I received download links for the set of 7 lesson packs and a reference sheet packed with additional learning links to creation-based science websites to further the studies. My downloads included Level 3 which focuses on handwriting practice in cursive for the creation science-related keywords being studied throughout the lessons. Each of the 7 packets provides a paragraph or so on each of the key science-related vocabulary words being taught followed by a dotted cursive outline of the word for the student to practice writing it in cursive. Each of the words corresponds with the topic of the individual packet, as I will discuss in detail. Each packet ends with a review and an answer key.

I also received informational sheets that included website addresses for further study. All of the websites listed are creation science based.

How Did We Use It?

I printed everything out and then sat down with my 11 year old to see what this was all about. I first started reading the sections to her, but it didnt take long before she was taking over and doing it all herself without need for my help, as I watched and answered any questions she had.

What Did We Think?

We really enjoyed this study of science that is based on a biblical, creation science worldview. I love it when science lessons include what we believe to be the meaning behind and the reason for science, God, and his Words. We especially loved how the lessons were separated with a new paragraph section beginning with each new keyword being introduced, and there was a chance to practice cursive writing these words as well as pictures that we decided to color, since my daughter loves art and coloring. For my hands-on learner, this is a fantastic way to learn. Her hands were kept almost as busy as her eyes reading the necessary lesson material.
