We like this the best.\r\n\r\nKey features: thank you for an audio format to save mom&#039;s teaching voice. Can even listen in car. I wish there was an app for easier school access. Also, I wish the lessons were in order when they downloaded as I have to pick out the next one to listen to.\r\n\r\nColorful and modern: so much is antiquated or photocopy grade or not really engaging, but this is beautiful. The Earth illustrations are perfect. The textbook is slim and not overwhelming.\r\n\r\nVideo: I tuned into the video after we had completed a couple lessons. I wish I had known more about it. It helps being Catholic life and virtue and living and relate it to science observations. Amazing! I didn&#039;t see an order to how to use the materials, but I would suggest having the textbook open for charts and graphs and pics while listening to the audio. Stop and explain as needed. Do the workbook. Do the video after to see how some aspects of Catholicism line up using the scientific observations you just learned about.\r\n\r\nI&#039;m sorry if there are typos but I can&#039;t seem to scroll thru the comment box on my phone to clean it up!\r\n","date":"Dec 5th 2024"},{"name":"Ana M.","rating":"5","title":"Phenomenal!","text":"We absolutely love the TAN science curriculum.

Earth: Exploring Our Home sends students out into the far corners of our planet to discover natural wonders, while along the way gaining new insights and understanding about the world in which they live. From the formation of mountain ranges caused by shifting tectonic plates, to the earth’s tilt and our rotation around the sun which gives us the four seasons, from our many-layered atmosphere and the solar energy that permeates it, to a study of weather patterns and climate . . . young explorers will come to appreciate the beauty and intricate order of this fascinating home God has blessed us with.     

Did you know . . .

  • The earth travels at a speed of around 67,000 miles per hour on its yearly trip around the sun.
  • A national park in Kentucky holds a cave system that covers over 80 square miles.
  • The earth’s magnetic field is what allows us to navigate by using a compass.
  • Our oceans are so vast and deep that there are enormous mountain ranges beneath the sea.
  • The uppermost layer of our atmosphere—the exosphere—is over 6,000 miles thick.

 

Catholic Permeation: Most significantly, students will learn about the descent of the Holy Spirit as tongues of fire on Pentecost and revisit the many biblical events that unfolded in the desert. They will also be introduced to St. Damien of Molokai, who ministered to the lepers of Hawaii, and St. Kateri Tekakwitha, the patroness of the environment, along with other saints and faithful members of the Church whose lives and work have made vital contributions to science.
