Additional Information Scope and Sequence 35-Week Schedule Sample Workbook, Level A Sample Workbook, Level B Activity Supply List Frequently Asked Questions How are Level A and Level B different? The Video Course for Introductory Science is the exact same for Level A and Level B. Only the Workbooks differ for the two Levels, with Level B being slightly more challenging (more questions, and questions worded differently). Are there tests/quizzes for Introductory Science? No, Introductory Science does not have any tests or quizzes. 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.
