Earth Science: God's World, Our Home Textbook

Earth Science is a middle-school text designed to foster a sense of wonder and responsibility for God's amazing world while teaching students about geology, the weather cycle, and more.

This book features classic Novare textbooks characteristics: a smaller profile; vibrant and relevant graphics; interesting, clear, conversational prose; an approach that connects students with real-world science as stewards of God's creation; and guiding principles of Mastery Learning and Integration. Throughout the text, key concepts, definitions, and skills are repeated. Students rehearse and reencounter prior concepts as they learn new content with a view toward more thorough retention. Relevant subjects such as mathematics, history, language skills, measurement and more are also integrated to demonstrate the connections that exist between all subjects. Each chapter begins with learning objectives and has "learning checks" along the way for review along with exercises at the end of each chapter. There is no teacher's manual, workbook, test book, or separate experiment manual for this text; supplemental materials are provided in the digital resources (not-included; sold-separately as a set).

Earth Science should be about much more than learning about rocks and mountains and the seasons. Within the context of the fascinating study of landforms, minerals, and planetary phenomena, many other timely and important topics are covered including conservation of natural resources, climate change, pollution, environmental justice, and the current scientific consensus concerning geologic history.
