lence, enriching, their personal lives, and laying a foundation for future literature studies. Students will also
further develop their ability to analyze words by studying prefixes, roots, and suffixes.

MATHEMATICS: Plane Geometry

Plane Geometry teaches students how to use known facts to verify the truth of additional facts, to
solve geometric problems, and to use deductive reasoning for drawing correct conclusions. Students
learn to think naturally, logically, and systematically whenever they encounter a proof to write, a con-
struction to make, or a problem to solve. They are then equipped throughout life to perform such tasks
as determining which car is the better buy or identifying truth and flaws in politics.

SCIENCE: Chemistry
Chemistry: Precision and Design explores the many branches of chemistry to discover the ingenious
structure and orderly function of God’s creation. The Christian perspective of this text rejects evolution
and recognizes special creation as the reasonable explanation for the origin and design of the universe.
Although chemistry has been less permeated by evolutionary doctrine than biology or geology, one’s view
of origins does affect how he approaches the science of chemistry and how he applies chemical principles
to societal issues.
Chemistry: Precision and Design recognizes God’s command for man to have dominion over the creation,
and its goal is to teach how man might extend his “dominion” and make wiser use of the physical
creation. This text presents chemistry as a foundational science and includes chapters on nuclear and
organic chemistry. It seeks not only to give students a solid basis in chemical principles but also to help
students understand the practical application of these principles.
