What do you think it means? Science studies from Creationist viewpoint

False. Evolution has never been observed to change species . Natural selection is a fact. Fruit flys have generations in hours but have never become anything other than a fruit fly . The change of species is completely a theory and educated guess. |

| It's already not science if it is from a creationist viewpoint. Not much of an education. |

And yet, it is a scientific theory. |

That is probably totally wrong. We have literally no idea of the origin of matter, existence , math, science or time. Narrow minded ( actually dumb, when you think about how far we are from knowing practically everything ) pride is hilarious!! Open to all possibilities and humble is intelligent. |

It's weird when you realize that nothing is new . Science is ancient and already exists . We don't invent anything , we just discover principles and concepts that were always there waiting to be found like a scavenger hunt for our amusement . Everything we ever learn in the future is already here . Time itself may just be a creation for our sanity. A sequence of events may only be created for tiny intellects to function. |

You do not understand the definition of evolution. Evolution is the change in species over time. It can happen through natural or artificial selection. Whether this results in a new species is a different question, but not one that is disputed within the scientific community. |

Did everyone miss this is first grade? How much history or science goes on in any first grade? Maybe they observe that lighter things float in water while heavier ones drop or perhaps even make a volcano.
For the first grade this curriculum would be okay. They'll make sure she knows reading and phonics and Saxon is a solid math program. You would have to pull her later--say after third grade or so if you want her to get a real history and science education. |

I think you meant to say... Creationism is a fairy tale. |

There is strict evolution that doesn't involve divine influence. There is strict creationism which says the earth was created in 6 24-hour days as outlined in Genesis. There is a also intelligent design where the idea seems to be that God caused the big bang and guided evolution. I would check with the school to find out more details of their approach.

| For first grade, I don't know that whether or not they teach evolution really matters. I doubt many first graders in any school system discuss evolution. I think my dd's first grade science had something to do with balls and ramps. |

ACT test is more about being able to read and sort out data, rather than about science knowledge. But I wouldn't be surprised if students coming from this school have difficulty with that too. |

And creationism is not a valid scientific theory because it is not testable. It's a religious belief, not science. |
