BJU Press Physical Science Student Edition Textbook

BJU Press Physical Science Student Edition Textbook, 6th edition, is divided into four units - two for chemistry and two for physics. The chemistry units move the student from matter and what it is made of to how matter interacts in chemical reactions, nuclear changes, solutions, and acids and bases. In the physics units, students learn about how matter and energy move and why they move; they study the many forms of energy and how energy moves throughout the world.  It's written from a biblical perspective with the intention of exploring the amazing world that God created, including the different forms of energy and how it moves throughout the world.

To help students think like scientists and view physical science through a biblical lens, this BJU Press Physical Science course includes engaging case studies, clear & scientifically accurate images, worldview sleuthing activities, mini-labs, ethics boxes, and questions.
