    Videos were great, worksheets not so much...
    Review by Vicky
    My son enjoyed the videos and learned a great deal of information that will come in Handy when defending his faith. The worksheets were just "busy work" for the most part and at times were confusing when it came to finding the answer. Example: Worksheet 9 p. 257 - we could not figure out where this content came from. Even wasted time watching the videos more than once and never found the answer. If this was something he had to do outside of the provided content, it should have been specified.
    Just okay...
    Review by Paige
    We are using this through a tutorial and it just feels OKAY. The books are hard to navigate as the pages open oddly and the DVDs are cheesy (so we don't use them). My son really likes to be engaged in a study and this one feels a little more like checking off the the geology box. Not sure how I feel about that. When you dive into the books, the material covered is excellent - but trying to flip the pages in the awkward book makes it challenging.
    Good Info, a bit cheesy though
    Review by Echo
    I love the information, but it’s hard for the kids to take the videos seriously cause they are so cheesy
    Good info but not very engaging
    Review by Grace
    After 2 weeks of using “Awesome Science”, I am putting it away. My child is 12, and having to watch a 30 video repeatedly in order to fill in the blanks, is really no fun. The worksheets read word for word what Noah Justice speaks. We did implement our own study into the GC guide book. All-in-all, I found this one course to be lacking, tedious, and boring; for the age range, I feel this course needs to be more hands on.
    Videos and Travel guides make the course unique
    Review by Traci
    I bought this set after I discovered the Travel guide to Yellowstone and Grand Teton. We had just visited the parks on vacation and I decided to make the trip part of our school. Once I realized there was a whole course designed around the National Parks, we had to try it since we were planning to visit the Grand Canyon and Zion the next year. All of us watch the videos together, elemntary through HS. They are great...a bit redundant at times on the information, but the scripture throughout is our favorite. The workbook has too much. I am combining it with some of the HS gen Sci Geology for my HS student.
    Interesting
    Review by Jamie
    Overall we did enjoy the videos, wish there were books for all the parks. My kids learn better with reading and listening. Still had lots of good information! We purchased this as curriculum but also because we were going to be visiting several of the parks during an upcoming trip. It definitely prepared us and gave us knowledge for our trip.
    Wanted to love, but left wanting
    Review by Holly
    My son chose this class to do this year for science, and we both thought it looked really fun and interesting. After having been doing this course for a bit now, I have some big thoughts about it.

    Pros
    1. The course is set up with several dvd's to watch that go over the geology in different national parks. The dvd's are pretty interesting, give good terminology to know, and give some good views of the parks.

    2. It is great seeing our national landmarks and studying them.

    3. Noah Justice is a personable host and relatable for the kids.

    4. The 2 guidebooks that come with the dvd's are colorful and full of great information.

    Cons
    1. Each episode is only about 30 min long and students then have about 2 weeks worth of worksheets going over the 30 min video. The worksheets are 90% only writing verbatim what the host says. It's very tedious!

    2. There are only 2 guidebooks so we were left wanting more info on the rest of the parks.

    3. We found it very redundant that the only focus for the geology to be what it is is from Noah's flood. This course is a young earth science class.

    4. We found the worksheets for this course to be very boring. Also, there are way too many worksheets to even want to do.

    In summary, this could be a good class if there was some more thought put into it and some big changes made. There is way too much focus on worksheets, especially just filling in what the host says.

    To better fit our learning style here, I have changed what we do with the class. We watch the video. I have cut out soooooo much of the worksheets, but will make some based on the big themes from each video. I have also added in some extra videos to give some additional perspectives on the geology. I think learning about both biblical and scientific perspectives lets the student see all sides and then we can talk about why each feels the way they do. We have also added some projects and field trips based on geology to do this year for extra hands on experiences.
    Not to bad
    Review by Janel
    We tried this with our oldest . He looked through the science choices and wanted to give this one a try . It wasn’t our favorite, but it very interesting.
    Great videos
    Review by momof4
    We bought this science for our 7th grade daughter. She enjoys the videos but the worksheets every single day that cover every sentence spoken is a bit much. She feels like she can't listen to the videos bc she's constantly trying to find what blank to fill in next. So we will be stopping the worksheets and narrating or doing a weekly writing assignment or something. But then it feels like it's much more 'elementary' than junior high.
    Awesome Course
    Review by Lisa
    We loved this course. Our family was getting ready for a trip that would include some of the parks covered in this material, so I used it to get my boys excited about what was coming. We loved that it had so much information in it, plus it had great travel guides. I didn't get through all of the material before we left, and when we got back, there was so much more we wished we could have seen. Highly recommend it!
