This is wonderful...exactly what I was looking for!
Reviewed By: I Franco 
My 6 year old daughter and I love science time now! This curriculum is just what I was looking for. I like the Christian perspective, as well as the scientist perspective all in one. Wonderful! The terms used are easy for the parent and student to learn and yet very informative information. Very well writen, easy to read. The projects are so FUN! I also like that you can work the program at your own pace. My daughter wants to keep going after each lesson. Sometimes it's even hard for me to put it down. Highly recommend. Your students will have so much fun and they will love to learn.

We couldn't put it down
Reviewed By: Kerri 
My 6-year-old son's fascination with astronomy prompted me to purchase this book, and boy were we impressed! Every time we sat down to read it or do the projects and activities, his eyes just lit up -- he always wanted to do more! And I so appreciated the Christian perspective. When we visited a planetarium and a film shown there referenced "billions of years ago..." my son was quick to point out, "That's not right, God made the solar system." I'll keep using this series as long as I can!

AWESOME
Reviewed By: Patricia 
I pulled my 2nd grader out of public school after Christmas break. I have never homeschooled. A friend of mine emailed me what she taught for her kids. She started Astronomy with her kids when they were in 2nd grade. Not ever having seen the book or anything, I wasn't sure what to expect. But I just bought what was on her list. When I got it in the mail, I just didn't know what to say. FINALLY someone has it right! This book is beyond words. I love the layout, the projects, and all the really interesting facts in each chapter. There is no set lesson for each day. But I find myself reading on the couch or outside with my girls. I would read a chapter or two, and my girls would say, "MORE MORE!!!" I will be buying everything from this curriculum from now on. I bought the kit that went with it and it is worth it. I rate this 5 out of 5 stars. These books makes learning so much fun!

Such a great curriculum!

My daughter really enjoyed this book! She learned (and retained!) a lot. I will definitely use this again with my younger children. Be sure to check the publishers site for downloadable notebook pages!

Great Product!
Reviewed By: Kelly Hamilton 
We just finished with the first lesson and the first project and my kids loved it. They were so bored with our other science lessons and I was tired of searching for all the necessary stuff to go along with the projects. I would highly recommend this curriculum and get the recommended kit to go along with it. It's great.

-  Monday, September 01, 2008 Kids love it Reviewed By: Ann Green  So far my kids love this! I like it to. We learn so many wonderful things. I'm in awe of God's amazing creation! What a great break from the boring fill in the blank workbooks I made them do last year.  -  Saturday, July 19, 2008 The Science Series I wish I had as a child! Reviewed By: ~Rachel  As not only a homeschooling mother, but as someone who was homeschooled herself, I must say I truly wish these books would have been around back when I was a child. Not only do my children (4-9yrs old) ALL love this book, but I do as well. It is well written, simple enough even my 4 yr old enjoys reading, and is learning, yet solid and in-depth enough I am learning along with them. And best of all we are ALL enjoying it! The free notebooking pages are great, and the yahoo group (where you can ask questions and view messages from other users as well as the author herself) is a valuable resource for the entire series. My boys are already looking forward to the rest of the books, and I must admit so am I !!! I plan to use them all, at least once, and most likely will revisit them at a later date with at least my younger two. If you want a solid, and God honoring, basis for science on an elementary level this series is the best I have ever seen or heard about! ~Rachel (Homeschooling 3 boys, and loving learning with them!)  -  Tuesday, May 27, 2008 Exploring Creation with Astronomy Reviewed By: Brenda Adams  Excellent for family learning. Interesting for a wide range of ages. Experiments were such effective illustrations of the concepts being taught. Easy preparation for teacher. I appreciated that the book was a tribute to the Creator.  -  Saturday, February 16, 2008 Another Love It!   This was our first lower level Apologia Science book and we loved it! Jeanne Fulbright has created the perfect set of books to bring science alive for elementary students, and at the same time, as a parent, I have learned so much! We have ordered another one in the series and are eagerly anticipating starting it as soon as it arrives.  -  Monday, February 04, 2008 Love it! Reviewed By: Gwen Kowalski  You can see that we are not alone in voicing our wonderful praise for Exploring Creation with Astronomy. My child's favorite section of the book, so far, is of the meteor, Kleopatra. Fantastic Book!!!!!  -  Wednesday, November 07, 2007 At long last!!!   I have been searching for an engaging, informative, accessible science curriculum for my 8 year old son, and I finally found it. We finished our first Astronomy lesson today and I am very pleased with the information in the book as well as the kit for the projects. I love projects, but detest running around looking for the little things we might need. It is a huge blessing to have everything at our fingertips. What a blast this learning thing is!  -  Tuesday, October 23, 2007 Fabulous!!!   We are absolutely delighted with this book!! My children are so excited to study God's creation and to dig into the hands on projects! The Charlotte Mason approach is wonderful for the reluctant learner and the unit study approach has peeked my children's interest. It is such a blessing to have the kids excited about learning science! Thanks so much.  -  Tuesday, February 06, 2007 Exploring Creation with Astronomy Reviewed By: olga moody  this was a perfect curriculum for my kid this year, she loved it  -  Saturday, January 06, 2007 A Blessing!   We are using Jeannie Fulbright's Exploring Creation with Astronomy right now with my 7 year old daughter and 4 year old boy. We are having so much fun. The children's notebooks are just precious. They are so excited about what they are learning. They even took their notebooks to Grandpa and Grandma's house to show them their work! The text is written in a "curl up on the couch with the children" style and it is so enjoyable. It is also scientifically sound. I love this curriculum. I like the fact that I don't have a lot of prep work to do. We purchased the science kit sold by Home Science Tools and it is so easy to just grab what we need a few minutes before lesson time. I highly recommend this curriculum.  -  Tuesday, October 03, 2006 I'm learning as much as the kids are! Reviewed By: Jennifer Enriquez  Look no further than the fabulous elementary series from Apologia. The author does a remarkable job of providing experiements and projects that make understanding how our solar system works so easy. We are truly enjoying this book and you will, too.  -  Tuesday, October 03, 2006 Exploring Creation with Astronomy Reviewed By: Kay Degrood  Because I love teaching Science, I had just about every book written on Astronomy for children. Then I found Apologia! Now I need just the one. Jeannie Fulbright does a wonderfully thorough job explaining our Universe in great detail, yet on a level children understand. Her experiments, use of a journal and projects make the solar system come to life! I was amazed at how much I learned along with the children. This will be all you need to teach Astronomy.  -  Tuesday, September 05, 2006 astronomy Reviewed By: Ginger (cheryl) Williard  My third grade son used this curriculum with his co-op group. Each week after class he told me all the things he had been learning and was fascinated by the material. The text was challenging for him yet simple enough to understand once his reading ability improved. By the end of the year he was reading the chapter on his own and writing a summary. The text is written to the student, so interest and understanding is high.
