Exploring Creation with Astronomy
Few subjects capture a child's imagination quite like space. Exploring Creation with Astronomy is a Christian astronomy curriculum that helps your child explore God's creation while building a solid foundation in astronomy.
Designed for grades K–6, this updated course guides your child through 14 chapters covering the solar system, stars, galaxies, black holes, space exploration, and more. Rich photography, engaging explanations, Scripture, and hands-on activities help bring complex concepts within reach of young learners.
Rather than relying solely on worksheets, your child will build models, create craters, track clouds, observe constellations, construct a simple telescope, and complete a variety of activities that reinforce key concepts. Most projects use common household materials, and an optional science kit is available for families who prefer added convenience.
The full-color Student Notebook helps organize the learning experience with daily assignments, narration prompts, notebooking pages, review questions, Scripture copywork, hands-on activities, and space for illustrations and observations. Built-in schedules and checklists make it easy for your child to stay on track while reducing planning time for parents.
Additional features include lapbook-style activities, field trip pages, and chapter reflection sections that encourage your child to engage more deeply with what he is learning.
Whether your child is fascinated by planets, curious about space travel, or simply eager to understand the universe, Exploring Creation with Astronomy provides a hands-on, Bible-based introduction to astronomy that continually points back to the Creator behind it all.

Young Explorer, Jeannie Fulbright's elementary science program is an in-depth science curriculum with gorgeous, full-color pictures and captivating, God-exalting text. It sparkles in comparison to the mainstream, dry-bones science program, and it utilizes what we believe is the most sensible method of teaching science, the immersion approach.
With their yearly superficial overviews, other science programs quickly become tedious as children encounter the repetitiveness of topic matters. The Young Explorer, science immersion program will allow your family to enjoy the depth and riches that genuine science can give. Most home-taught children who enjoy science are taught with a science immersion program. This program utilizes a combination of the Charlotte Mason and classical methods. You can rely on each Young Explorer book to acknowledge the evidence of Creation, have easy-to-follow self-contained lessons, include hands-on activities, and support the National Standards of Science.
Recommended for ages six through twelve, but written with a fourth-grader in mind, you may find that your older children will enjoy doing the coursework independently. At the same time, younger, less confident readers will prefer parental involvement. We encourage you to let your child choose the topic to study that captures your student's interest. Your student can use the Young Explorer titles in any order since each book's content stands alone.
Because of the concept levels, the publisher suggests that Earth Science, Human Anatomy & Physiology, and Chemistry & Physics are better suited for upper elementary grades. However, younger students can certainly follow along and learn well if older siblings have progressed into these last three books.
