Science in the Beginning is the first book in a hands-on, multilevel elementary science series that introduces scientific concepts using history as its guide. The beginning of history is given in the Bible’s creation account, and this book uses the days of creation as a way of introducing a wide range of scientific concepts including the nature of:

 • Light
 • Energy Conservation
 • Properties of air and water
 • Introductory botany
 • Our solar system
 • Basic zoology
 • Aspects of human anatomy and physiology

As the students learn about these scientific concepts, they are constantly reminded of the Creator who fashioned the marvels they are studying.
NARRATORS NOTE:
This audiobook is a supplement. It does not replace the book. Even though I do read through the instructions for all the experiments, it will be much easier for you to actually do the experiments if you have those instructions in written form. In addition, there are times when I will refer to specific pictures in the book, therefore I will change the wording from time-to-time so that you don’t have to be looking at the book while you listen to this recording.

Because Science in the Beginning is designed to give students a hands-on experience when it comes to studying nature, each lesson contains an experiment. Usually, there is some reading, then an experiment, and then more reading. As a result, most lessons are composed of three tracks so that you can skip around depending on your needs.

Science in the Beginning

This audiobook is a companion to the Science in the Ancient World Textbook.

While it is possible to learn a lot of science by just listening to the audiobook on it's own, the textbook is required to gain the full value from this course.

Science in the Ancient World is the second book in a hands-on, multilevel elementary science series that introduces scientific concepts using history as its guide. Because each lesson is built around an activity or experiment, it is engaging for all K-6 students. In addition, there are three levels of review for each lesson, so the parent/teacher can choose the depth at which each student is expected to grasp the material. The course contains roughly 90 hours of instruction, 35 of which are composed of hands-on activities.

The course covers the scientific work of natural philosophers who lived from about 600 BC to the early AD 1500s. It concentrates mostly on what these ancient scientists got right, but it does spend some time discussing what they got wrong, because even the mistakes that scientists make can sometimes advance our understanding of the natural world. Of course, when the students are taught something that is now known to be incorrect, they are made aware of this fact!

Because the course covers science as it was developed, it covers a wide range of topics including human anatomy, medicine, optics, heliocentrism, geocentrism, sound, music, magnets, how steam is used to generate power, the motion of objects through a medium, combustion, levers, pulleys, plant growth, plant anatomy, tree ring dating, the atmosphere, astronomy, the basics of graphing, plastics, density, water flow, friction, and erosion. Throughout the course, students learn that most of the great scientists who lived from AD 500 to the end of this time period were devout Christians who did science because they thought they could learn more about God by studying His handiwork.

Science in the Ancient World

Science in the Scientific Revolution is the third book in a hands-on, multilevel elementary science series that introduces scientific concepts using history as its guide. It covers the scientific works of natural philosophers from 1543 to the end of the 1600s.

Because the course covers science as it was developed, it discusses a wide range of topics including astronomy, human anatomy, medicine, botany, zoology, heliocentrism, geocentrism, gases, pressure, electricity, fossils, microbiology, binary numbers, gravity, conservation laws, and the laws of motion. Throughout the course, the student learns that most of the great natural philosophers who lived during this time were devout Christians who were studying the world around them to learn more about the nature of God.
