Reviews

“The Mystery of Science: Biology is full of information that should intrigue children. The Lab Manual provides loads of activities to reinforce and expand learning. Parents looking for a creation-based biology course should find it an excellent option.”

After running a co-op for several years, we knew we wanted science curriculum that had four things:

  1. Colorful, short, engaging lessons that did not overwhelm students
  2. Meaningful assignments in a workbook
  3. Experiments included in the lessons
  4. Designed to cover a full school year.

After reviewing many elementary and middle school science programs over the years, I can honestly say that The Mystery of Science checks the boxes we were always looking for.

This curriculum is so well done! It’s beautiful to look at and written in a way that kids can easily understand! Every lesson is written from a biblical world view and includes scripture memory as well. This Biology course is a dream come true for overwhelmed homeschooling parents who don’t always have the time to teach every single subject to their students. The lay out of the lab manual is simple and straightforward so that kids can do it on their own! We love it!

Biology Curriculum

My kids and I are loving this Biology curriculum. It is engaging and fun. The activities and reviews are great. I love how Scripture and a biblical worldview are incorporated. I am doing this with my 2nd-, 5th-, and 6th-graders, and I love that there is a science curriculum I can use with all three. I know it is written for 4th-8th, but my 2nd grader has been doing well with it. He just answers questions orally. I have several science degrees, including a Biology degree, and this is one of my favorite science curricula I have used. The activities are fun and meaningful and add to the lessons. I highly recommend it!

I couldn’t be happier with this text book. It’s very well made, extremely educational, great pictures and best of all it doesn’t contradict God’s Word but instead helps show and explain the amazing details in creation. Highly recommend this and the lab manual. Can’t wait for the next series of books to come out by Karri Iverson!

Is The Mystery of Science Christ-centered and 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.

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!
