Science 4

We will learn about the world God created for us while exploring it through a Biblical lens. Insects and spiders, electricity, the moon, digestion, and bones are just a few of the topics we will explore. The majority of the class time will be used for discussion, review and hands-on learning activities, while most reading and book work will be assigned to be done at home. Come explore the world God created with us! (2025-2026)
