Science focuses on the development of observational skill while studying the physical universe which God created. The elementary and jr high grades (3-9) present each area of science in an independent survey basis, usually unit by unit. The high school grades focus on particular areas of science, specifically Biology (10th), Chemistry (11th) and Physics (12th). The major strands that flow through the lower curriculum and into specific classes are Life Science, Earth and Space Sciences, Physical Sciences and nature of Science. Life Science covers Plants and Animals, Human Anatomy and Personal Care. Earth and Space Sciences includes the topics of Geology, Weather and Space. Physical Sciences contain concepts in Chemistry and Physics and the Nature of Science incorporates the Scientific Method, Experimentation and Technology.
