Overview

Overview: This Life Science: Origins & Scientific Theory Teacher Guide contains materials for use with Evolution: The Grand Experiment Vol. 1 and Living Fossils. By developing a deeper understanding of these concepts, students will be able to develop and support a strong worldview.

Course Description: This course is intended to help a student assess information about evolution and creation, and based on the information provided for each, form his or her own understanding of this issue. The author spent 30 years in a challenge to prove evolution, yet the more he learned, the more the truth of God’s Word became apparent in the evidence and interviews he found while traveling the world speaking to scholars, and museum officials and viewing artifacts.

Upon completion of this course, students will have a thorough understanding of the theory of evolution and its limits. Students will develop scientific critical thinking skills through careful analysis of evidence and comparing the merits of different theories. Students will study paleontology, biology, and geology as they relate to the study of origins through an exploration of living fossils.

Chapter Discussion Question: Teachers are encouraged to participate with the student as they complete the discussion questions. The purpose of the Chapter Purpose section is to introduce the chapter to the student. The Discussion Questions are meant to be thought-provoking. The student may not know the answers but should answer with their, thoughts, ideas, and knowledge of the subject using sound reasoning and logic. They should study the answers and compare them with their own thoughts. We recommend the teacher discuss the questions, the student’s answers, and the correct answers with the student. This section should not be used for grading purposes.

DVD: Each DVD is watched in its entirety to familiarize the student with each book in the course. They will watch it again as a summary as they complete each book. Students may also use the DVD for review, as needed, as they complete each chapter of the course.

Chapter Worksheets: The worksheets are foundational to helping the student learn the material and come to a deeper understanding of the concepts presented. Often, the student will compare what we should find in the fossil record and in living creatures if evolution were true with what we actually find. This comparison clearly shows evolution is an empty theory simply based on the evidence. God’s Word can be trusted and displayed both in the fossil record and in living creatures.

Tests and Exams: There is a test for each chapter, sectional exams, and a comprehensive final exam for each book.

A Now Required Class in our Homeschool
Review by Sara G
Life science origins and theory is SUCH a great course! My kiddo did this for 9th grade science and was fascinated at all the ways the world has lied to us about creation. The set begins with the grand experiment and then living fossils and if you purchase the set, it also comes with 2 dvds to go along with each book. The book covers some challenging concepts and can be a little harder for some, but in my opinion it is a must for any christian going out into the world. I am very happy that it was included in the grade 12 basic set, because it is now required in our home for high school. At which grade each of my children will take it will be dependent on their skills interest and abilities but I think it is truly a vital course so that our children can be able to argue against specific claims and theories that are and were taught to us all.
Science for mom and the high schooler
Review by Barbara D
As students are launched into the world beyond homeschooling, they are met with other worldviews on the start of life, and the Life Science course digs deep into that. It shows how the theory of where life came from has changed over the years and what scientific evidence shows. I love how the Teacher Guide has questions that not only get students thinking about what they read, but to see if their answers met the suggested answers and to compare. (It' not just fill in the blanks.)
The tests and exams are more of the traditional fill in the blank. All answers are in the back of the TG in order of worksheets, tests, and exams per text book.
Like other Master Books courses, it is open and go with the suggested schedule. There is some teaching helps at the beginning of the teacher guide, I personally would have preferred a bit more instruction, but it does not deter from using this course and grading it.
A fantastic course that I am glad I get to do it with each of my kids.
The PDF is a great option for this course as the pages are all text and b&w ink. (Except for the cover.)
