Science in Colonial
America by Brendan January - $7
Colonial Americans
demanded that their science be practical, useful and democratic. They were eager to ask question and find
answers about the exciting new world around them. The colonists catalogued new wildlife,
examined fossils, experimented with electricity, and calculated the distance
between Earth and the sun. The ‘can do
spirit’ that developed during America’s colonial period continues to inspire
the American scientists today.

This text leads students from the known to the unknown by

know. The aim is to help students understand basic principles of science rather
than merely teach them science vocabulary. The world is presented as the
creation of God and glorifies Him as its Sustainer and Upholder. The text
introduces great scientists and naturalists who believed in the biblical
account of Creation, and where appropriate, it refutes the materialist’s faith
in evolution. Students learn about plants, animals, matter, energy, light,
minerals, and more. Review questions, activites, and demonstrations make this a
thoroughly teachable text.
