Science & Social Studies for K-8

---

This class is intended for students aged 4-6 but has some flexibility in that age range. We will be observing and studying God's creation through nature walks, looking at plants, learning about little critters and big ones, indoor and outdoor games, arts and crafts, and with a focus on using all five senses.   

This will all be seasoned with a pinch of German as children, aged 4-6 will learn a vocabulary of 20 to 25 words, and numbers 1-10. Children aged 6-8 will learn a vocabulary of up to 50 words and numbers 1-20. The plan is to be predominantly outside. Children will need to bring rubber boots and a rain jacket if it is raining.

Our world is not a world of chaos, and once students begin to see that they can observe a phenomenon, ask questions, and set up a methodical test to answer questions, science will no longer be a class but rather a means to discover their world. It is created to give students an understanding of the basic world that surrounds them each day of their lives and the forces in creation so that they can appreciate the real-world relevance of scientific inquiry and the beauty of creation. The text discusses atomic structure, periodic table, chemical bonds, reactions and energy, motion, forces, energy, waves and sound, light, electricity and magnetism, and Earth’s structure, weathering, and atmosphere.

We will teach students how to look at the whole of God's world and it's history in a way that gives greater understanding of our world today. We will work to think critically through each time period we study in order to see the ripple effects and lessons we can learn from it.
