Shatterproof is a six week science curriculum aimed at illuminating youngsters about how science fits harmoniously with the young earth which is revealed to us in the Bible.
Despite the prejudiced demands of secular groups today, science should never be considered inappropriate for the religious classroom, and this curriculum in particular goes to show how beautifully they fit together.
The following paragraph from the preface sums up beautifully what the curriculum is about and why curricula like this one are so important: %u201CThis curriculum is an offensive weapon in the spiritual battle between truth and deception, and Christianity and atheism. Students are given answers to many of the questions they face in today%u2019s atheistic minded culture and are encouraged to turn to God for wisdom. Because scientific theories constantly change, your students will be given basic tools that will help them evaluate information for themselves.%u201D
%u201CShatterproof%u201D covers six very important scientific criticisms that Bible believing students will be confronted with in life and it further explains the fallacies of these criticisms.
Due to the somewhat complex nature of the issues that are covered, the author tailors the information to two different age groups; grades 4-6 and 7-8. Further explanatory notes are also supplied to ensure that the topics aren%u2019t too daunting for instructors who aren%u2019t so scientifically savvy.
The author also includes dozens of references to web articles for further information on the scientific details that are used throughout the curriculum.
Many cut-out cards and colour photos are supplied in the book which is used as aids for the activities. I can%u2019t imagine that there would be a single child in the room that wouldn%u2019t be thoroughly engrossed by the many hands-on activities and experiments that are incorporated into these lessons.
Overall, this resource is very clear in its layout, and is very easy for the instructor to prepare for and to perform. This is a much needed resource that targets a much needed area.
