Frequently Asked Questions
Are each of The Mystery of Science books full year courses?
Yes! The Mystery of Science is a 32-week science program. Paired with the lab manual, it is a complete curriculum including detailed instructions, a suggested daily guide, materials lists, tests and quizzes, and extras.
Is The Mystery of Science creation-focused?
Absolutely! The Mystery of Science is written from a Christian worldview, directly pointing to our amazing Creator and emphasizing that the universe and everything in it is not random, but carefully and specifically created for us. God created man in His image and this worldview affects how we live our lives and interact with God, others, and the world around us.
Where should I begin in the series?
You can begin in any of the books, and we recommend you start with what interests your student most! Right now we have The Mystery of Science Biology available, with The Mystery of Science Physics to shortly follow.
Do I really need the lab manual?
Yes! You can either order the lab manual printed for you (and 3-holed punched) or print it yourself, but the lab manual is an integral part of The Mystery of Science curriculum. Its purpose is to provide students with experiments, activities and reinforcement for the student reader. The lab manual includes a place for your students to write or sketch, allowing you to use it for a record of everything your student has completed over the year. It’s an amazing and important tool!
