My daughter loves science. It’s a very hands on subject, with lots of things to do and discover. I think one of the neatest things about homeschooling is that I have the opportunity not just to teach my girls about the world around them, but to show them that God is everywhere, in everything.
I particularly like our curriculum this year because each subject draws from a Biblical worldview. There are Bible verses and passages that tie into every lesson plan. I don’t think there is a subject we have this year that doesn’t invlove pulling our Bible out as a reference right alongside our textbooks.

| Overview |
We use this Bible specifically for science. Whenever I say to my daughter, “It’s time for science” she runs and not only grabs her science textbook, but also the Heavens Bible which has now become a regular part of our homeschool routine. This Bible comes with beautiful, full color photos of the heavens, an illustrated timeline, facts about space and the universe, a Bible dictionary and Where do I find it? section, as well as sections of Bible memory verses and the promises of God. I like to use the memory verses and promises section as conversation starters with my 4-year-old. We read a verse or promise and then talk about what she thinks it means. Since science involves a lot of thinking, I feel this works as a great warm up for her little brain before we begin each lesson.
Yours in Chirst,
This sounds like it would be a wonderful book to study from, I had not heard of it but would be interested in reading this one, thanks for sharing

it’s not possible to have too many versions of the Bible, I think…this looks like a great one!
We also use Christian material for science, which my 8-year-old daughter recently told me was her favorite subject. There is no way to shield her from all the secular, evolutionary material out there — it really is everywhere! — so we make sure to stop and take the time to respond to these unbiblical claims from a biblical perspective whenever they come up through the TV or wherever. Actually, my daughter will come and ask me when she sees something regarding numbers to see if it’s accurate. She knows that talking about millions or billions of years contradicts the truth of Scripture, and sometimes she’ll ask me to clarify when it comes to anything that might mention thousands of years as well. I’m happy to reinforce a biblical worldview whenever I can.
And, yes, we study the Bible together on a regular basis. Right now, it’s part of our homeschooling routine on Mondays and Fridays: to read a chapter (in the back half of Acts right now) together, discussing it and talking about it as appropriate. She also memorizes 4 or 5 passages a week and we do family devotionals once a week, and separately but at the same time daily.

That’s great Brad! Sounds like you are giving your daughter a strong foundation. Thanks for sharing!
Please count me in, I hadn’t heard of this one but it certainly looks interesting. It sounds like a great way to get youngsters to read the Bible. kittycrochettwo at msn dot com.
Bible reading comes before bed with my school aged child. We use the AIO 90 Devotions book. It has a bible passage that goes with each devotion. It’s one of my favorite times of the day.

We enjoy our devotion time too. Thanks for sharing, Bethany!
Our oldest is only in Kindergarten but whenever we have a chance to tell about Creation, we use resources from Answers in Genesis and their VBS’s! If we hear something on TV about “millions of years…” we help him remember what he learned in AIG’s VBS’s and use catch phrases we’ve learned such as” If the Bible says it, that settles it!”
I like that Lisa and you are exactly right….if the Bible says it that DOES settle it 🙂
