Abeka ScienceAbeka Science promotes the Biblical values of subduing the earth and the fact that the earth is created by God. They speak against evolution and reinforce the fact that God designed the world and we would have nothing without Him. Some experiments - There are some experiments throughout the books with more experiments in the upper grades. The books include vocabulary, questions and pictures. Teacher manuals You can purchase teacher manuals with lesson plans if you need to know what to do when. For the younger grades you can sometimes get away with just purchasing the teacher edition and not the student edition. You have to read the book to your student anyways, so why waste getting both the teacher manual AND the student book.  The older grades include a textbook, test book, quiz book, student activities book and answer keys for each book. The teacher manual has answers for the textbook and answer key. In grades Kindergarten through grade six, Abeka includes consumable work texts where students answer questions on vocabulary, comprehension and the material covered in each chapter. Some parents say that, in the younger grades, you might want to supplement with library books.  Here‘s what some parents are saying about Abeka Science
Basically, this is a textbook method of teaching used by Christian schools. If you want to mimic how teachers in public or Christian school teach, then Abeka should work well for you. If you want a more interesting or hands on approach to Science, I know we have enjoyed Considering God’s Creation and the Apologia Science series along with other Science resources.
