Science is a unique and ideal way to integrate Biblical principles into our studies. The more knowledge we gain of the world, the more we learn about who God is.

"The heavens declare the glory of God and the earth shows his handiwork." Psalm 19:1

"For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities -- His eternal power and divine nature -- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." Romans 1:20

Christ is the Creator, Designer, and Sustainer of our world (Colossians 1:15-17). His principles and standards should be the basis of the choices we make regarding our world and the life values we choose. He has made us and given us dominion over the world we live in (Psalm 8:3-9). With this entrusted to us, we bear the responsibility to care for the earth and use the resources wisely.

We want students to develop an appreciation of the uniqueness of the many aspects of God's creation, and an understanding that the forces seen around us are placed there by God and are under His control and direction. While He often chooses to allow "nature to take its course," He can and does intercede as He wishes to alter the courses of nature.

Research shows that science is best learned through a hands-on, process based, inquiry program. These process skills can be defined as the basis of experimental procedure used by scientists to gather information. These are actual skills the students will gain through hands-on activities. Learned in their elementary years, these skills will be a lifelong benefit to them.
