Science in the Industrial Age
Science in the Industrial Age is the fifth book in a hands-on, multilevel elementary science series that introduces scientific concepts using history as its guide. It covers the scientific advances made from the early 1800s to the early 1900s. Because the course covers science as it was developed, it discusses a wide range of topics including medicine, human physiology, cell biology, evolution, chemistry, geology, electricity, magnetism, heat, light waves, sound waves, radioactivity, and conservation laws. Students learn about the science that was being discovered at the time as well as the lives and personal beliefs of those who were discovering it. As a result, students can see how a person’s worldview affects his or her scientific conclusions.
Because of its unique design, the course can be used by all elementary-age students. Each lesson contains an interesting hands-on activity that helps illustrate the scientific concept that is being discussed, and it concludes with three different levels of review exercises. Students do whatever review exercise matches their specific level of understanding.
This product is a set consisting of the textbook plus the helps & hints book containing everything the parent/teacher needs to know for the subject.

Great science book.
These are great science books. They teach about important people in science through the ages and what they discovered and then follows up with an experiment. Science kits can be purchased through other companies to correspond with each volume of book to help with experiments.

Great quality; Interesting lessons
I’m really looking forward to using this for my kids! The lessons are clear, interesting, and mercifully straight to the point.

Great Multi-grade God-centered science fun!!
This year we used Science in the Industrial Age by Dr. Jay L. Wile with our 1st and 5th graders. We have used the four previous chronologically structured volumes with this being the 5th and as far as I know it is the last volume in the series. This volume covers the early 1800’s to the early 1900’s. I love the continuity of using the volumes in order, as the author sometimes refers to previous volumes for covered concepts that are being built upon in the current volume. My children have amazed me when they recall these past topics which I believe are a testimony to Dr. Wile’s curriculum. However, I highly recommend jumping in and using any of the volumes in collaboration with your history studies as it brings history fully alive when used in tandem. Our children love this curriculum and look forward to each lesson. The main book is a colorful God-centered, hard back text, highlighting well-known and some not so well-known scientists as well as female scientists who have made important contributions to science.I love the layout with the experiment highlighted in blue with a list at the top of what items are needed and easy to follow instructions. The Helps & Hints soft back book accompanies the text with extra instructions for the experiments, answers to the chapter objective questions, and tests and answer keys. What I love about this curriculum is that it is multi-grade friendly. We gave each child a journal to draw their experiments in and answer objective questions from each chapter. We would do the fun experiments together and then our 1st grader would answer the “Youngest Students” questions while our 5th grader answered the “Older” and “Oldest Student” questions. This style of curriculum allows for great family interaction while meeting the scholastic needs of differing grade levels. We completed all 90 lessons with a schedule of 3 lessons a week for 18 weeks and finished out the next 18 weeks with 2 lessons a week. I highly recommend this curriculum. While we used a discounted copy, this set is reasonable priced under $45.We love this curriculum so much we will be starting back over using the first volume with my now older daughter who will be focusing on the topics in a higher grade than when she first went through. We are all looking forward to it!
