Product Description

•••••

The Foundations of Science introduces children to the natural world's marvels in light of God's providential concern for the universe. This eight-part series explores a vast range of scientific topics, from animals and vegetation to the galaxies of outer space and the depths of the ocean, to cells and organisms, to the mysteries of chemistry and the wonders of our planet. In addition, it describes the intricate order found beneath the surface of creation and many of the Church's scientific contributions throughout history. In Chemistry and Physics: Elements and Forces of the World, Adolfo Ayala investigates a concealed world that exists in our immediate vicinity. Before moving on to Newton's laws of motion, sound and light waves, the Atomic Theory, and chemical reactions, he examines tangible matter and how we apply the Scientific Method to it.

Did you know . . .

the earliest study of motion began with attempts to understand the movement of the planets in the night sky?
the reason it is more difficult to walk through a pool than on dry land is because of a force known as hydrodynamic drag?
we can see lightning before we hear the clap of thunder because light moves at an astonishing 300,000,000 m/s, while sound only travels at 340 m/s?
echoes work better when they bounce off a hard surface instead of a soft one?
a white-colored object is one that is reflecting the entire spectrum of light, while a black-colored surface is absorbing the whole spectrum of light?
the word “electricity” is named after the Greek word for amber (electron)?

In addition, children will also learn about the Church’s teaching on Transubstantiation and the importance of sacred music in our liturgy, as well as come to understand the destructive entropy that sin brings to our lives and why we need God’s grace to overcome it. Take a journey back to when God laid the foundation of the world with this groundbreaking science curriculum!
