Science in the Atomic Age

About this curriculum

Grades 7-8 Sample Science in the Atomic Age is a laboratory-based, junior high science course that describes our current understanding of atoms, molecules, chemicals that are necessary for life, DNA, and cells. The course describes how cells work together to make tissues, how tissues come together to make organs, and how organisms relate to one another in populations and communities. The student then learns how those communities interact with the physical environment to form ecosystems, which then form biomes. Along the way, students learn about fascinating new discoveries such as the function of the human appendix, the human microbiome, and soft tissue found in dinosaur fossils. Throughout the course, God’s design in nature is highlighted, and topics in the creation/evolution debate are discussed. The Science in the Atomic Age Set includes the Textbook and Answer Key & Tests, containing everything educators need to teach the course.
