Product Description
Watch your child’s eyes light up in wonder at the miraculous variety of what God has made!
Discover fascinating general science topics that relate to each day of Creation. The short lessons in this course will be your guide to a full year of living science studies spent discovering light and shadows, water and weather, land and plants, planets and stars, fish and birds, creeping things, land animals, and the human body.
You and your child will read great living science books, conduct simple yet meaningful experiments, enjoy nature study projects, and create a personal Creation notebook centered around the six days of Creation.
Discovering What God Has Made will
- Nurture within your child a sense of wonder at God’s Creation,
- Cultivate a habit of careful observation that will serve your child well, and
- Lay the ground work of personal experience that will support future science studies.
“O Lord, how manifold are your works! In wisdom have you made them all…” (Psalm 104:24).

Is it better to use Discovering What God Has Made with a 1st, 3rd, and 5th grader, or would it be better to use Exploring What God Has Made with these ages? I would like to keep them combined for science if at all possible. Could I use Discovering this year and Exploring the following year? Thank you

Hi Jessica! We do not recommend combining grades 1,3, and 5 for these courses. Our new recommendation for sciences is to group grades 1-3 together and grades 4-6 together. While both of the new science courses are similar, we have written Exploring What God Has Made (grades 4-6) to be a resource to help students begin to gain more independence in their studies and prepare for upper level sciences. While there will be coverage of several of the same topics between both books, they are not arranged the same and the 4th-6th guide is going to have more depth.

Does it mean if I buy this book I will have to buy several others to be able to use it correctly?

I have been using this guide for the 2021-2022 year, and it has been a blessing and a gift to our family. I love how the lessons are simple and easy to implement. The picture books have been enjoyable for my three children (oldest is 7), and the note-booking prompts have created an adorable journal full of observations! My daughter loves looking back at her work and enjoys showing it to her grandparents. It’s fun to see all that we have learned! This guide took all of the planning off of my plate. I can’t recommend it enough. We have a robust library system in my area, so I had an easy time obtaining the books we needed for the study.
