Understanding God's World

Fourth graders will enjoy this fascinating presentation of things that they can see, observe, and understand in the world around them. They learn how to make an insect zoo, how to recognize the plants they see every day, how to attract birds to their own back yards, how to use field guides, how to interpret cloud formations, and how to identify rocks. Students will appreciate the miracle of plant germination, the causes of weather, the God-given provisions for life on earth, the design of the starry heavens, the ecology of the ocean depths, and many other aspects of God’s creative genius. Demonstrations and activities throughout the text keep learning lively, comprehension checks and Chapter Checkups provide for thorough review.

This text is scheduled as a 27-week course, followed by Developing Good Health taught the last 9 weeks.
