Science as challenging as BJU, but not YEC


Recommended Posts

We're using BJU Science 6 this year. I'm incredibly impressed with the volume of information that's covered, the enthusiasm of the teachers, and the methodical approach that's used. Even study skills are covered. It's fantastic.

 

Now to the wrinkle. We're not young earth creationists. This doesn't enter into all lessons, but thus far the earth science lessons have definitely included young earth doctrine. That makes sense, as that's the stance of BJU, and I respect that. I knew that purchasing the curriculum. Moving forward, however, I'd like to ensure that DD's exposed to science that presents an old earth view of the age of the earth (at least introduces geologic eras, etc.), and at minimum doesn't expound on why evolution is a lie (detailed discussion of evolution is unnecessary at this age -- just don't want it openly refuted in the curriculum). Problem is, I haven't found anything equal to the rigor of BJU for middle school earth science and life science. I sampled K12's science in the upper elementary grades and wasn't impressed. 

 

Any hidden gems I've overlooked? Words from those that have come before me? Should I continue with BJU and cover the old earth topics separately with supplemental materials?
