Is Building Blocks of Science Christian or Secular?
Like all RS4K, these books introduce real science to kids. That means currently-accepted scientific facts & theories, so books align with secular homeschool philosophies.
But the books also introduce the basic philosophy of science. As such, RS4K encourages students to explore opposing viewpoints. Christian homeschools interpret what facts & theories mean to individuals, groups, and the community.
