Are you looking for a hands-on Bible-oriented science curriculum for elementary school kids?
Do you want something that can be taught in a group environment?
Would you like to teach real science in a fun, hands-on way from gorgeous resources?
I’ve got you covered.
Bible Science Experiments for Kids
Erin Lee Green was a chemistry, astronomy, and geology teacher in the US. She now lives in Puerto Rico and homeschools her children there. Green has written two wonderful volumes of Big Bible Science: Experiment and Explore God’s Word (CF4K, 2016 and 2019). They just may be the answer to all your hands-on science needs for your elementary-aged kids!
Each Bible science book consists of 21 experiments covering an interesting–and academic–range of topics. There isn’t any fluff here. Your kids will be learning real science from a biblical worldview.
Each Bible Science Experiment Includes:
- A “Big Idea”–with a Bible story or concept that relates to the scientific concept
- Several activities (2-4) to facilitate learning about the scientific concept
- An “Apply It” section with several ideas for continued study and devotional questions
- A “Go Beyond” section with a few more ideas: an in-depth activity
- A Bible reading
- A short science biography
The Bible science books are 96 and 112 pages each. They’re visually awesome, with thick glossy full-color pages and tons of illustrations.
Science Experiments Kids Will Love!
The scientific concepts in the book are advanced. They are really ideal for 3-5th grade students. However, because the work is so hands-on (it is suggested that students keep a notebook–but younger ones wouldn’t have to), and because this is teacher-led, younger students shouldn’t have trouble following along. In fact, they will enjoy the hands-on learning and a little extra help from mom or dad!
I highly recommend Big Bible Science and Big Bible Science 2 as a great hands-on, fun introduction to important scientific concepts. These are great tools for a co-op, or at home!

The best thing–It’s Bible-based!
I agree!
I love how there is a bible story to go along with each experiment!
This looks great. Very interesting 🙂
I would love to try this with my boys! We have been looking for something that better fits their interest and ages.
This looks like a fun book to complement what are already do!
I love all the topics this series covers for the kiddos! Thanks for the giveaway!
I love that it is hands-on!
Hands on science experiments as well as biblical references
I like that it covers a lot of topics.
I like that it’s biblically based
I lead a midweek ministry at my church for kids ages 2 to teens. I am always looking for innovative lessons to try with the kids that go beyond the normal scope. I think something like this would be great to demonstrate that God is in EVERYTHING! The hands-on element would be fantastic.
Science and the Bible together in one curriculum
Hands on science activities and experiments plus biblical references
this looks like a wonderful science resource!
Where to buy?
I found the website! THANKS!
Misty, I always have purchase links at the end of my reviews. 🙂
Many experiments and topics.
I love that it is biblically based and includes experiments. The topics is covers are great as well.
I like this because there are so many different topics covered- it would be a super fun overview of science and might spark interest in something specific.
I like the photographs and illustrations.
This sounds like just what we need this year!
It’s a thorough bible based science book!
So cool! Biblical science ! My son would love this
I like how it looks from the sample images—so many homeschool curricula have uninspiring or distracting pages. I also like the variety of topics. It seems it would lend itself well to either using it in full or sprinkling units here and there.
That it’s Bible based!
This science looks like great fun.
I like the colorfulness, based on the Bible and looks like it is not written in a watered down style.
This curriculum looks interesting. My son likes to do experiments.
wow, exciting to teach my son about science & bible
My boys love experiments. I am doing my best to incorporate them into every week. This would be perfect!
Bible based and I can use it with multiple children.
would love to check this out!
I love the broad range of topics and the hands-on nature of it!
Sounds awesome!
We have been looking for a science curriculum next year for our co-op for kindergarteners to 3rd graders. This covers quite a range of topics! Love it!
I love that it’s bible based with a great story to go along. And that its hands on.
I haven’t been good about incorporating experiments. I need something easily laid-out and accessible to all my kids!
I like all the different subjects it covers.
I really like that each experiment has either a Bible story or concept that goes with it.
I would love this for my boys!
I would have to say what appeals to me MOST is that the curriculum is Christian-based with hands-on experiments and games. It looks like it covers several topics from different science fields giving children a good overview of Science. I( would LOVE to win this giveaway and give it a try with my daughter.
The focus on the Bible – so cool!
My science minded guy LOVES experiments. He doesn’t think we do nearly enough!
This is such a blessing! I have been looking and looking for something more interactive but still Bible-based. Love it! So thankful for your site and all your fun giveaways!
This looks like an awesome book for my kiddos:)
Sounds fun! I like that it is biblically based, too!
I like the topics it covers
I love that it’s biblically based
I like that it is Hands On.
I like that it’s Bible based and has hands on activities.
It’s Bible based! Yay!
Hands on learning is the best way for my son to learn anything. This book looks great.
I love that it is bible based!
My son Loves dinosaurs, but most of the science books are biased toward evolution and I have to constantly discuss the differences in truth with him. The biblical model is so much better and I could finally tell him that he can actually trust this curriculum.
oh My oldest LOVES science! This would be awesome to have as we are just starting our homeschooling journey!
The hands-on nature of this science curriculum is great. Kids need to experience science.
EXCITED TO WIN.
I love that this science curriculum combines the Bible & science. It’s important to us that everything our kids learn is filtered through the truth of the Word!
I love that it is Bible-oriented and the colorful illustrations look great, too.
Thank you! Always looking for fun science with a Biblical base!
I love that this is based on the Bible!!
I love that it is Bible-based. This will go well with our plan for next year, getting an overall view of science. Also, I’m going to email you when we start TOG in a couple of years. It can be overwhelming to me and the last time I was at a convention there wasn’t really anyone there that could answer my questions properly. I think they had a few younger high school kids manning the booth at the time and they didn’t feel confident enough to answer me.
My littles would love it.
I like that there are devotionals to go along with the Science!
I believe the biggest thing for me is the hands-on experience. I love science and would cherish the time to spend teaching this to my kids.
I love all the topics covered!
Having something hands on with the Bible perspective is a wonderful quality. Thank you for letting us know about this curriculum. Thank you for a great give away.
I like the topics listed
I love that it is a bible based curriculum. The hands on experience would be great for my little guy.
The bible!
You had me at Bible AND Science together.
What appeals most to me is that it is Bible based and hands on. My children would enjoy learning by doing not just listening.
I love that it makes the Bible more real world by matching Bible passages with science.
It’s hands on!
I have a 10 and 5 year old, what better way to teach science.
I love that it’s biblical and educational.
My kids really like hands-on science stuff!
Wow! It is hands on and a real book. We love Apologia Explorer books. But we need more handso on. My Tiger and Monkey love experiments.
Bible based and hands on. In that order.
Sounds like fun!
The hands-on activities
A Bible based science curriculum isn’t the easiest thing to find these days. Couple that with a program that is centered around true experiments that even a non-science mom can pull off and you have the makings of a very well-rounded science program! 🙂
This looks great. Our small group would get some great tips from it!
I love hands on teaching. The experiments look fun too.
It’s based on absolute truth!
Thank you for doing this! I love that it covers many areas of science with experiments and that it is bible based too. This would be perfect for us because some of my friends were planning on getting together and do science experiments, art, nature study and music together.
We LOVE science in our home so I think my favorite part about this is that they incorporate God/the Bible in the curriculum/experiments. This would be a great win!
The best thing to me is that I wouldn’t have to say that’s not accurate as aim going through the curriculum with my daughter, she’s now mimicking me when she’s listening to shows on dinosaurs or other things when they state, “300 million years ago, or we evolved from”. It’s nice to hear that she understands the idea that most of the world has about our earth is not true.
So thankful to find curriculum to teach God’s WOrd and its truths…
I love all the topics it covers and written in a Biblical perspective!
I love that teaching science can be fun and be biblically based.
I love that it is Bible based!
I’m interested in this resource because of its biblical foundation. Thank you for the opportunity!
I love the hands on!
I agree with other commenters, I like that science is linked back to the Bible. And I also like the full color pages – very engaging!
Biblically based science sounds like an oxymoron to the world. I would love to have this resource to share with others.
I love that it is hands on and biblically based! Thanks for the chance to win.
The chapters offer experiments relating to the science material we will be studying this year.
Biblical worldview… YES!
It’s hands on!
The experiments can be found in other science books (or online!) but I like the Bible emphasis. I run the science lab at our church’s VBS every year so I look for experiments that are fun and have a spiritual lesson. This book looks like a good resource. Thanks for telling us about it!
There are several things that appeal to me. First is that it is Bible based and demonstrates a correlation with science. Second is that with a younger child, this could be used more than once as a science curriculum-which would allow a basic knowledge/experiment, then a review/in-depth look, then again later another review/more in-depth learning that they could complete themselves demonstrating a strong knowledge.
I love that it’s bible based! What a fun curriculum!
This looks awesome !!!
Love it when things are bible based.
Linda
This looks like a great learning tool. I love that it is Bible based too.
I like having other options other than just crafts for the kids.
Exciting and engaging!!
This is the first time I’ve seen this, seems great.
Science using the Bible would be great.
This looks like fun
This book looks like it would be a great addition to our homeschool ☺
How fun! Thanks for sharing!
I love science that “agrees” with the Bible.
Cool- I love that there are multiple activities for each topic, with Bibile stories that relate!
I want to learn more about Bible based science so I can teach my children the truth.
This looks fun. Science is the hardest for me!
I have always loved science and hope to instill this in my kids. I am always looking for good experiments and such, and would love to have a book based on the Bible!
I struggle with science, it is not my best subject, I think having more hands on experiments would be a wonderful opportunity for them to really get into it.
Excited I can use with my entire family. Anytime I can combine children in a subject it is a win for us!
Love bible based science. Hoping to get to try this.
My kiddos are always asking to do experiments. I love that it ties to a bible lesson!
I’m always interested in better ways to engage my kids in science! Hands-on participation with experiments makes a lasting impact on their curious minds. Getting involved in a group setting engages their hearts in deep ways as they discuss, joke and, later on, reminis with their co-laborers. 🙂 (Parents: take the leap! Start a science club!)
Clearing away the apathy and inspiring us to look into the details of creation and our Creative God is essential. (The invisible attribute of God are clearly seen in His creation. See Romans 1:20) The format and graphics of this Bible science book are interesting and would draw the child’s attention into wonder, exploration, and discovery unlike other boring texts. I like it!
Thank you for bringing quality materials to the table, Danika!
It’s my great pleasure, Erica. 🙂
Science with a Biblical focus!
This book looks awesome. I love how it’s bible based. My son and I would have a blast with this.
I love the idea of combining experiments with Bible passages! My daughter would have sooooooo much fun with this!
I love that it is Bible oriented! I have been looking for something just like this!
