Discovering God's Creation Science 6-8: Physical Science

Science 6-8: Physical Science is a great course to include in your homeschool curriculum, because it helps children learn about all the forces of nature.  This course expands on any knowledge of the physical sciences that children may have accrued through their homeschool curriculum over the years. Physical Science is especially fun and interesting for kids because of the variety of hands-on experiments, and because of the fact that they are learning about unseen forces. Topics in this homeschool course include matter, elements, electricity, magnetism, gravity, and power.  This course introduces basic concepts like charges and the atom, and lays the foundation for future homeschool science courses, including physics and chemistry.
