Exploring Science with Student-Created Textbooks

At this age, students are ready to explore the different sciences in greater depth. We encourage students to create their own textbook in each of the science topics. As students prepare materials to teach others about science, their knowledge deepens. You will see some of our favorite resources below to assist students in exploring and creating their textbooks.

Science and Religion by David M. Barker:

Why do people claim that their loss of faith was due to scientific "enlightenment"? Why do so many scientists say Noah's Flood was just a myth? How much of science is fact, and how much is theory? What is proof? Why do scientific methods give so many dates that contradict Bible chronology? These and related questions have led to more than forty years of research--which, in turn, has led to intriguing possibilities for reconciling some of the conflicts between science and religion.
