All measurements are given in both English and metric. This title does not discuss origins or the age of the earth. If you would like to explore the topics in this book from a Creation science worldview, free downloadable discussion helps are available.

An In-Depth Look at How Our Senses Work: Why do your eyes see? Why does your tongue taste? What causes sinusitis, and why does it make it so hard to smell or even breathe? These are just a few of the answers students will learn the answers to as they take an in-depth look at how our senses work. They’ll learn the location and function of many different parts of the eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and skin as well as take a fun look at optical illusions. Numerous diagrams are given to help make these concepts accessible and easier to understand.

At the end of the unit, students can review 35 vocabulary words, label various diagrams showing the location of key parts of the five senses, and enjoy a review activity. Answer keys are provided. 37 pages total.

Human Anatomy and Diseases, Pt. 1: Our bodies are incredibly complex. Each system has numerous parts that have to work together, and when one part is out of line, many other parts are affected. Through dozens of in-depth illustrations and diagrams, this anatomy unit looks at the parts of the respiratory, circulatory, digestive, excretory and urinary, and integumentary systems. It also looks at various diseases and conditions that affect these systems. Numerous diagrams are given to help make these concepts accessible and easier to understand.

At the end of the unit, students can review 52 vocabulary words, label 30 anatomical diagrams, and enjoy a review activity. Answer keys are provided. 67 pages total.

Human Anatomy and Diseases, Pt. 2: The complexity of the human body is astounding. When just one part is out of line, many other parts are affected. Through dozens of in-depth illustrations and diagrams, this anatomy unit looks at the parts of the skeletal, muscular, endocrine, immune and lymphatic, and nervous systems. It also looks at various diseases and conditions that affect these systems. Numerous diagrams are given to help make these concepts accessible and easier to understand. Please note: this unit does not address reproductive organs that are part of the endocrine system.

At the end of the unit, students can review 34 vocabulary words, label 22 anatomical diagrams, and enjoy a review activity. Answer keys are provided. 57 pages total.

Earth’s Cycles and Systems: Just as the human body is made of systems that work together, so is the earth. This earth science unit takes a look at the parts of these systems, the earth’s spheres, including the lithosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere. The layers of the earth, the atmosphere, and the ocean are also studied. Following this section, the earth’s cycles are explored, including the water cycle, oxygen cycle, nitrogen cycle, and carbon cycle. Various aspects of the water cycle are explored including watersheds and water purification. Numerous diagrams are given to help make these concepts accessible and easier to understand.

At the end of the unit, students can review 29 vocabulary words, label several related diagrams, and enjoy a review activity. Answer keys are provided. 30 pages total.

Elements, Compounds, and the Periodic Table: This unit is designed to introduce students to chemistry in a bite-sized way that is accessible and even fun. It starts by explaining what atoms are and what they are made of. Next, it explores elements and how they are arranged in the periodic table. The first twenty elements of the periodic table are looked at in detail; the remaining elements are looked at by class. Atomic number, mass number, and isotopes are also explored. Numerous diagrams are given to help make these concepts accessible and easier to understand.

At the end of the unit, students can review 19 vocabulary words, label several related diagrams, and enjoy a review activity. Answer keys are provided. 26 pages total.

Physical and Chemical Changes: Everything around us changes, but scientists classify the ways matter changes as either a physical or chemical change. This unit helps students understand the difference between these two kinds of changes and explores common examples of each. Additional chemistry concepts such as boiling point, freezing point, melting point, condensation, sublimation, oxidation, and the first two laws of thermodynamics are also explored. Numerous diagrams are given to help make these concepts accessible and easier to understand.

At the end of the unit, students can review 14 vocabulary words and enjoy a review activity. Answer keys are provided. 17 pages total.

Properties and Behavior of Matter: Volume, density, buoyancy, transparency, viscosity, and elasticity are just a few of the properties of matter explored in this unit. Understanding the properties of matter and how different types of matter behave is critical for scientists and engineers to know what type of materials to use in various applications. Numerous diagrams are given to help make these concepts accessible and easier to understand.

At the end of the unit, students can review 35 vocabulary words and enjoy a review activity. Answer keys are provided. 22 pages total.

Discussion Helps: Free discussion guide to help you explore the topics in the Learning About Science Level 5 series from a Creation science worldview.
