Exploring Creation With General Science
by Dr. Jay L. Wile
This here is my elder daughter's 8th Grade science text. It's a general introduction to science, starting with the history of science, going on to teaching the scientific method and then giving a basic overview of various areas of scientific study. It's enjoyable to read and explains things very well. (or at least well enough for me to understand it. There's a companion CD-ROM available for those who want a little audio-visual help.) Even my artistic-minded daughter enjoyed it and was able to put together acceptable lab reports. As the title suggests, the book takes a creationist viewpoint, but unlike It Couldn't Just Happen, it doesn't hit you over the head with propaganda. Of course, I'm sure someone who is not creationist would disagree. Anyway, I definitely think it's a textbook worth checking out.
