General Science

1:Text: Exploring Creation with General Science, Second Edition”, by J. L. Wile,

2: notebook.

3: caculator

This course is designed as an introduction to

conceptual science for 5th or 6th graders' one hour

a week class, we will not always have a lab, and lab

reports will not be done on every lab, as the class is

not intended as a lab science.

Labs will be guided and done as a class.

This course will include content from biology, geology, physics, astronomy, anatomy,

and many other areas of science. An emphasis is placed on biology in the course work.

This class may be the last life science a student has before high school biology.

Required materials: Textbook, "Exploring Creation with General Science, Second Edition", by J.L. Wile,.

On average, a student should spend about 5 hours or more per week in preparation for class.

I will approach issues of origins from a Young Earth Creation (YEC) worldview, that is, I believe that God created the world just as He said he did in the scriptures.

In all my classes, I strive to convey to students a basic understanding of that worldview, presenting evidence and reasoning to support this viewpoint while also discussing an old earth worldview and comparing the two.

I also recognize that the body of Christ is very diverse, and I invite students and parents to think critically on the issue of origins. “Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander." -1 Peter 3:15-15.

One day l'll teach a class on Origins!

Physical Science

1:calculator (does not need to be a scientific calculator)

2: binder or notebook

This course will be an introduction to all non-life sciences, covering everything from the earth's atmosphere and lithosphere to forces in Creation and the nature of light and sound. lt serves as a prerequisite to Physics and Chemistry, and it is beneficial if students have taken Algebra I in order to do the simple physics problems in the course. We will also cover moles, the Periodic table, some formulas, and other basic chemistry tools and measurements. The hydrosphere, lithosphere, plate tectonics and hydroplate theory, environmental stewardship, electricity and magnetism, and other topics will also be covered.

"Exploring Creation with Physical Science, 2nd edition"

by J. L. Wile will be the textbook for this course.

Cost is $40 per student per month, with an

approximate $75 per student per semester lab fee that enables us to use the facilities and lab supplies at Southern Nazarene University'

Even though we will not do calculations every class day, students should bring a scientific

calculator to class each week. I highly recommend using a graphing calculator, as this type will be needed by students for other advanced math classes and building familiarity with the calculator will increase efficiency. Each week, students will need to complete a reading assignment and lab report.

Study guides and tests are due every few weeks, and semester papers due one per semester.

On average, a student should spend about 5 hours or more per week in preparation for class.

Christ may be ashamed of their slander'" -1 Peter 3:15-16'

One day 1'll teach a class on Origins!

. This class will also be supplemented from a selection from a Chemistry book.

Basic Biology with LAB

This course is designed as a high

school level biology tab class, and will cover

the classification system for life, detailed

study of various kingdoms, function and

chemistry of cells, microscope and dissection

technique, genetics, and a critical study of

evolutionary theory. While the teacher and

the text are critical of evolution as a theory of

origins, we will approach the issue in an

objective manner, and while the teacher is a

young earth creationist, all viewpoints based

on logical evidenced-based reasoning will be respected in class.

Required materials:

1:Textbook, "Exploring Creation with Biology, Second Edition”, by J. L. Wile,

2:notebook.

3: A calculator may also be necessary for some of the chapters.

On average, a student should spend about 5-10 hours or more per week in preparation

for class.

Honors Physics:

This course will explore the physics of motion, gravity,

momentum, periodic motion, waves, electricity, optics,

and magnetism. lt will be an excellent preparation for

students who seek to become scientists or engineers and

study physics later on in college. lt is not designed to

enable students to CLEP out of physics, although that

might be possible for an advanced student' Students

should take algebra 2 and Physical Science before taking

Physics, and while trigonometry will be used in some of

our studies it is not a prerequisite (although helpful if you

have taken it or take it at the same time).

Textbook:

1: . 'Exploring Creation with Physics" by J. L. Wile, 2nd edition will be the text used in this course.

2: scientific calculator to class each week.

3: Notebook

I highly recommend using a graphing calculator, as this type will be needed by students for other advanced math classes and building familiarity with the calculator will increase efficiency. Casio calculators tend to be particularly affordable in my experience.

Students should expect a weekly homework assignment, which may take several hours to complete some weeks. Class time will be divided between a power-point presentation to demonstrate concepts and formulas, lab time and demonstrations, and problem-solving techniques. Lab reports will not always be required.

Tests are usually every two chapters, or one test about every 4 weeks or so.

Pre-Algebra

Prerequisite: Students should be in 7th grade or above, with a strong foundation in basic math operations.

Supplies: Students will need a three-ring (1-inch) binder, pencils, loose-leaf

notebook paper, graph paper, a calculator, a small pencil sharpener, and a set of

five tab dividers.

Workload: There will be 4-5 assignments each week, including tests and lessons,

with 20-30 problems per lesson.

Tests: Parents will administer and sign all chapter tests. All chapter tests will be

sent home with the student and should be completed and mailed or emailed to my

house, arriving no later than Friday of that same week. (You may even bring it to

my front door if you choose). Five points will be deducted for each day that the

test is late. These days only include days that mail is delivered. The latest I will

accept a test is three days late (generally on Tuesday). After this, the grade will be

recorded as a zero. Tests are 20% of the student’s grade.

Daily Work: All daily assignments should be graded at home and signed by the

parent during the week. Students are expected to call me during the week with

questions about problems they’ve missed and don’t understand. Waiting until

Monday is not acceptable. Daily work is 65% of the student’s grade.

Participation: Students are expected to come prepared for class and positively

participate in class each week. It is worth 10% of the student’s grade.

Notebook: I believe in training students to be organized. Keeping an orderly

notebook is worth 5% of the student’s grade.
