Item Description...
Overview
This course is designed to be the last science course the student takes before high school biology. Thus, we generally recommend it as an 8th grade course. However, your student can also use it for their 9th grade course work. The text discusses such topics as the atmosphere, the hydrosphere, weather, the structure of the earth, environmentalism, the physics of motion, Newton?s Laws, gravity, and astrophysics. The author especially concentrates on the myths generated by the hysterical environmentalist movement. There are many hands-on experiments to do, and they all use household chemicals and supplies. It is an excellent course for preparing the student to take a college-prep high school science curriculum.
PLEASE NOTE: Because of the differences between the first and second editions, students in a group setting cannot use both. They must all have the same edition. Because of this, the first edition of the course will still be available for those individuals, schools, or support groups that use the first edition. |

| This is an excellent science series, but there is a newer version of this text. | | |  | I'm happy Sep 20, 2009 |
| nothing but good things to say. The book and its condition IS exactly as it was described. I received the book in a timely fashion. | | | | Nice book as said! Jun 4, 2009 |
| The book that I received was exactly as the person said it would be. He/she informed me that there was some writing in it and were some added notes but was in good condition. That's just what I got. Thanks for the honesty! | | |  | Good Science, Bad History Jul 25, 2008 |
| I don't dispute the science in this book but I do dispute the history. The author leaves his area of expertise to put forth the myth that Galileo was persecuted by a fearful, ignorant Catholic Church. This is an issue lots of people have an opinion about but few have actually studied. Wile is one of them. For a full treatment, with footnotes to back up the history, please see the book "How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization," especially the chapter: The Church and Science. In it the author Dr. Thomas Woods - a real historian with four Ivy League degrees - explains the enormous contribution the Church made to science. Examples: There are over 30 craters on the moon named after Jesuits who discovered them. Europe's universities were founded by religious of the Catholic Church. Many of the Church's clerics were famous scientists - like Copernicus himself. He was never persecuted for teaching that the sun could be the center of the solar system. What does that tell you? There is more to the Galileo case than most people realize. In short - Galileo was invited to Rome to make his case. He was admired very much by bishops and cardinals. His trouble was that he did not have adequate mathematics to support his "theory" - which was then very new. So the Church wanted him to teach it as a "theory" and not as a fact. But he refused. What's more he was suggesting changes in Theology - not his area of expertise. The author of this book, Dr. Wile - a protestant - does a similar thing in this science book. He gets into history which he knows little about. | | | | Move over Bob Jones & Abeka; there's a new sheriff in town. Jul 13, 2008 |
| I recall the early years of homeschooling, the 80s, when good curriculum was hard to find. Then Saxon math came along and revolutionized math for those parents and children who hated math. What Saxon did for math; Jay Wile has done for science. Except I'd say Jay Wile has done it better. This is science by a scholar who knows how to break down the complicated concepts to the level of the common man. Nothing is lost in the translation except, perhaps, a previously poor attitude toward science by the student. Children who hated science before will fall in love with Dr. Jay Wile's way of teaching. The experiments are fun & use readily available items in the home one *actually* has on hand. He's won this home schooling family over for good.
