Apologia's text covers a wide range of scientific branches, including a large component of Earth Science modules, and teaches students how to properly utilize the scientific method. It also gives foundational instruction in recording and reporting data and reading and creating graphs, essential skills in science—and ones tested on the SAT and ACT exams! All the experiments utilize easy-to-obtain household materials, so no special equipment is necessary, yet complex scientific principles are easy to explore and understand. This course is taken after sixth grade.
