Did you know that you can lift an elephant with one hand if you use enough moveable pulleys? Did you know that there are plants that look like pebbles and insects that look like dead leaves? Did you know that the gold in your parentsâ wedding rings was forged inside an explosion 700 septillion (700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000) times more powerful than the most powerful nuclear weapon? You will, once you have completed Behold and See 6!
Behold and See 6 guides students to an in-depth, conceptual understanding of physical science, ecology, and astronomy, while communicating the richness and order of Godâs creation and reflecting on the proper use of scientific knowledge for the glory of God. This complete course features:
- An engaging, conversational style
- A lavishly-illustrated, full-color interior
- Text addressed to the student to encourage independent learning
- Hands-on, budget-friendly experiments that actually work
- Little to no teacher prep
- Removable answer key
 Behold and See 6 focuses on physical science, ecology, and astronomy:
- Unit 1âMatter and Energy: students study and experiment with physical science, chemistry, and physicsâelectricity and magnetism, levers and pulleys, and similar topics.
- Unit 2âBiomes: students tour the world, meeting creatures as amusing as the shovel-snouted lizard and as sinister as the strangler fig. Along the way, students learn about interdependence, food chains, climates, and the remarkable âequipmentâ God has given His creatures to help them survive.
- Unit 3âAstronomy: students discover the wonders of astronomy, using the skills learned in Units 1 and 2 to explore the night sky, solar system, galaxies, and the universe.
The accompanying Behold and See 6 Workbook provides:Â
- Student-friendly exercises and experiments
- Research assignments
- Science Notebook assignments
- Star-gazing activities
- Extension activities
- Weblinks
