Customer Reviews
The Math book - he did not think he would enjoy this one but every single day he was fascinated to learn how time, space, and life in general are all connected in an a way that only God can do. Nothing is random, but instead, everything is made with special purpose.
The physics book - the first couple lessons seemed hard to him at first but he did end up enjoying it and it also helped him to understand muscle cars even better, one of his fave hobbies.
The biology book - His favorite parts of this book were learning about plant life! He isn't a huge fan of biology relating to people and animals, but he also didn't complain. This book helped solidify which areas of biology he would like to dive in deeper and study. :)
The chemistry book - This is his favorite and he finds it difficult to stop reading at the end of the assignment. He just wants to sit and read more. But he's stetching it out, sticking to the suggested study guide. I do see him taking the full chemistry course with Masterbooks later in high school.
I do think this is a great course for anyone unsure what science field to try out. They cover a lot of main concepts in the various sciences but they don't go super in depth.
