These books will give any child an excellent introduction to the history of science from a creationist perspective. Your children will have the opportunity to read history that hasn't been altered.cThere is much more to science than poking, prodding, swirling, stirring, creating or constructing. There is the history behind the science. While most kids would far rather learn with their hands, Master Books has made reading the history of science as painless as possible. The illustrations may be black and white, but accounts are quite colorful, resulting in a surprisingly appealing text for some potentially dreary topics. Christian families will especially appreciate the God honoring perspective presented throughout each book. And for those of you who like chapter tests, you will be delighted to know that they are included also. This is a great series from a fine Christian publisher.

Exploring the World of Physics
This textbook supplement explains physics in remarkably clear detail. Complemented with black-and-white vintage photographs and illustrations, the book uses ordinary speech to explain the concepts of physics. The author’s goal is to "write at a 6th grade level, but explain the concepts so that a motivated 4th grader can understand the material." Physics equations and formulas are kept to a minimum. The author starts with the simple and goes on to the complex and the development is somewhat historical in nature. Did you know that a feather and a brick will fall at the same rate in a vacuum? Discover how the laws of motion and gravity affect everything from the normal activities of everyday life to launching rockets into space. Learn about the effects of inertia firsthand during fun and informative activities. Learn about the history of physics from Aristotle to Galileo to Newton to the latest advances. This is intended to be an introductory book for beginning physics students. Material of a more difficult nature is found in sidebars entitled "For More Study." Each chapter ends with study questions with answers in the back of the book.
