Exploring Creation with Botany
Plants are everywhere, but most children rarely stop to consider how they grow, reproduce, and support life on Earth. Exploring Creation with Botany is a Christian botany curriculum that helps your child investigate the plant kingdom while discovering the wisdom and creativity of God's design.
Designed for elementary students, this hands-on course guides your child through 14 lessons covering plant anatomy, photosynthesis, pollination, seed dispersal, fungi, gardening, trees, flowers, and more. Conversational text, vibrant illustrations, Scripture, and practical activities work together to make botanical science approachable and memorable.
Rather than simply reading about plants, your child will observe, experiment, record findings, and explore the natural world firsthand. Most activities use common household items, and an optional lab kit is available for families who prefer a ready-to-go solution.
The full-color Student Notebook keeps everything organized with a built-in two-day-per-week schedule, narration prompts, vocabulary activities, notebooking pages, experiment logs, mini-books, and review questions. The structured format makes it easy to stay on track without requiring a separate teacher guide.
As your child studies seeds, roots, leaves, flowers, fungi, and ecosystems, he will develop observation skills, scientific thinking, and a deeper appreciation for the complexity of the world God created.
Whether your child already loves gardening or simply enjoys exploring the outdoors, Exploring Creation with Botany provides a hands-on, Bible-based introduction to plant science that encourages both discovery and wonder.

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.
