"Sonlight's Apologia science courses are top notch and challenging," writes Jennifer C of Englewood, OH, "but with all the background of science we've had over our earlier Sonlight years, Joshua (16) and Elizabeth (now graduated, at 18) succeeded very well in these courses.They studied Sonlight's Biology, Chemistry and Advanced Biology, as true partners. It was very helpful for them to learn to cooperate, guide and teach each other, and even have a little 'healthy competition' for their tests. Sonlight's planning guides are always very helpful for scheduling, the science supply boxes essential, and the microscope we bought from Sonlight many years ago is a strong piece of equipment and has served faithfully." Here, Dad found Joshua and Elizabeth completing a microscope experiment for Advanced Biology. The C's have homeschooled all four of their children for 17 years while serving as missionaries in Uganda. They have used Sonlight exclusively.
We love Sonlight because it teaches our children to think critically about what they are learning. It challenges them to carefully consider the worldview that the media and many of their friends hold. They are learning that the biblical worldview is supported by science (among other subjects) and they are learning how to defend their faith. Sonlight also breaks us free from the 'school at home' mindset by allowing a more relaxed learning environment and encouraging discussion rather than completing lots of worksheets. Thanks Sonlight! Here, twelve-year-old Mackenzie reads from Science G in her third year of Sonlight.
Each year we evaluate curricula, but have never felt we could get the same level of cohesion between subjects, depth of content in literature, or the degree of critical-thinking skills to which we've grown accustomed with Sonlight. We began using Sonlight in 2006 with our oldest child. We've really been drawn to stand in awe of God's power as we read books about missionaries such as George Mueller and Gladys Aylward. Each new year and box day delivers a whole new gift of academic learning and drawing closer to God as a family. Here, Carson (9, Core E, Science E) experiences a light bulb moment in his fifth Sonlight year.

The 400-Level physics program provides a wonderful, advanced high school level science experience, well-suited for college preparation. Students explore physics laws related to topics such as velocity, torque and speed of light and sound. Students should have a strong math foundation since the text is filled with formulas, practical applications and experiments.
The course style is similar to the Biology and Chemistry studies. Exploring Creation With Physics--supported with "solutions and tests," a multimedia CD-ROM, and experiments--is the program's central learning tool. It presents 16 modules which follow the format of subject presentation, "solve on your own" problems with answers thoroughly explained, and end-of-module test questions.
The modules cover a variety of physics laws and concepts vital to those considering the engineering or physics fields: velocity, acceleration, friction, momentum, the speed of light and sound, torque, tension, energy, fuses, and circuits. Exploring Creation With Physics incorporates situations and objects present in an adolescent's everyday life to help illustrate and reinforce key points.
