Level A of Earth Science includes 121 video lessons. Level B contains those same lessons, plus 40 additional lessons. So, Level B is a longer course than Level A. These additional lessons provide more advanced study in the areas of worldview, layers of the earth, lava, oceanography and more. In addition, the Level B Workbook is more challenging than the Level A Workbook. Are there tests/quizzes for Earth Science? No, Earth Science does not have any tests or quizzes. If you would like a cumulative review of material for your student(s), we recommend using the crossword puzzles in the workbooks, which review material from several recent classes. How are creation and evolution handled? Since these are science courses that were written by a Christian, probably the most common question I am asked is, “What about evolution and creation?” The answer really starts and ends with the Bible. It is the unerring Word of God and, as such, provides the framework upon which everything is understandable, including science. As such, all Science Shepherd material is presented from a literal understanding of Genesis, teaching that God created the universe and everything in it in 6 literal, 24-hour days, about 6,000 years ago. Now, why evolution in Christian-based courses? It is important to cover evolution and some basic principles because our children will be constantly bombarded with it throughout their lives.
