athomeontheprairie Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Is there science curriculum our there for homeschoolers that is Christian AND old earth? (Not looking to start a debate on any of the qualifies. Just looking to see what, if anything, exists) currently, all I can find is secular oe and Christian ye.

PachiSusan Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Man, I can tell you, if someone writes one, they will make a FORTUNE!!!!! I can't tell you how many Christians I know that use YE texts and just redact or use OE texts and add God in...to have both would SOOO be a win win!!! I haven't found one yet. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I've read that this one is OE and Christian: http://novarescienceandmath.com I think the books start at 6th grade, if that matters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almondbutterandjelly Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Behold and See Science from Catholic Heritage Curriculum fits the bill. They go through about the 6th grade, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Twain Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 We have been using BJU Science (3rd grade, 6th grade, and just started 7th grade). Mrs. Vick teaches the 6th-8th grade courses, and I don't remember seeing material that was YE. If anything I think she may lean more to OE, but I don't think either view is pushed. Definitely the course is taught from a Christian viewpoint, though. I'll ask my kids and let you know what they say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Syllieann Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Behold and see and novare, both of which were mentioned, are the only I'm aware of. Novare looks exciting, and I'm hoping to incorporate some of their things down the road as they release the other middle school texts. BJU is young earth, so even if a particular course leaves out ye specific stuff, it will not have the mainstream oe evidence either. This will leave you trying to figure out what exactly is missing and then fill it back in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Novare is the only one I've seen linked before. In general, Catholic materials are Christian and OE. Kolbe offers classes and sells some of their books and syllabuses. BJU is as young earth as it gets. I've never used any of their videos so I can't comment on Mrs. Vick, but we used their science in 5-7th grade and Chemistry and YE was pushed hard in every. single. book.

Staceyshoe Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Have you looked at Reasons.org? They have a list of curricula options along with pro/cons of each. They have some videos and materials to supplement science education from the perspective of Old Earth Creationism. Might be worth exploring their site.http://www.reasons.org/education/educators-help-desk/curriculum-options 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PachiSusan Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 Haven't seen you around in a dog's age! How are you? I am well, how are you? We bought a house and have been really busy with my IL's as well. Still fully enrolled with Seton and Melissa will be in 7th grade next year. She's a tween now. Nuff said. LOL I'm not hanging around here much anymore because I'm really not a classical educator and I use a box...there's not much discussion around for gals like me.
