This text is a collection of 26 experiments, observations, and other activities designed to accompany our text Life Science, an introductory biology text designed for sixth-grade students. The activities include a mixture of short items (10-15 min) and full-period (45-60 min) items. The Apprentice's Companion concept is unique: the book is a combination of experiment book, commonplace book, lab journal, and sketch book. Throughout the book are poems, historical connections, literary references, and artwork, all of which creates a delightful environment for students as they pursue practical studies in biology.

This manual contains detailed solutions to the computational chapter exercises contained in Chemistry for Accelerated Students, by John D. Mays, published by Novare Science. Latest updates are compatible with the third edition of the text.

All answers to exercises, quizzes and tests, plus worked out solutions.General Chemistry uses a mastery-learning method. In this method, students build comprehension by adding new concepts while reviewing and rehearsing key material throughout the year. This method is implemented in carefully crafted exercises, quizzes, and the textbook narrative, and it facilitates learning, mastery and retention.Students appreciate the smaller profile and lighter weight of our books. This is possible because of aspects of our Textbook Philosophy. When mastery is the goal, you must cull down the material to an amount that can reasonably be mastered in one year.Related subjects are integrated into the narrative. The history of modern chemistry, mathematics and technical communication is emphasized throughout. Integration protects a course from seeming compartmentalized from other subjects. That's certainly not how the real world is. Real chemists use math and writing skills every day. Their knowledge about how the scientific enterprise works is greatly enhanced by their knowledge of great scientists who came before.Our approach to implementing a Kingdom Perspective does not entail unnaturally inserting Bible verses or devotional insets. A better approach for Christians is to do science from the faith-informed perspective of disciples of Christ studying God's created order. This is apparent in General Chemistry from the observations about order in the universe, in how nature submits to scientific study and modeling, and in the fitness of creation as a habitat for humanity and animal life.

Educator John D. Mays lays out a revolutionary new paradigm for science education sorely needed today. Written in an accessible style and firmly grounded upon the biblical teaching of humans as God's image bearers, he explains the principles and strategies schools need to establish a premier science program.It's not about gimmicks or finding new ways to coax students to learn. It is about bringing the truth of humans as image bearers of God into the classroom. It is also about drawing students upward into the adult world of scientific study rather than pandering to juvenile tastes and cultural assumptions about teens and media. This book advocates a rethinking of strategies, methods and priorities that will result in students actually learning and retaining course material.
