Geology is kind of like a time machine. Each rock and geological feature takes us “back in history” with a testimony of the Young-Earth Creation account. Plain rocks, sparkly rocks, artsy rocks. Not all rocks or geological features are “pretty” but the ones in this science and art course are!

On deeper level, are you concerned about the confusing messages out there that are vying for your child’s attention?
.
It feels like they are hit with confusing messages from all angles!
.
We find it concerning, too! So we have come up with a creative way to help teach a solid Biblical worldview in science and art.

.

Join Geologist Patrick Nurre of Northwest Treasures and Heather Hall of Principled Academy for this unique and enjoyable course!
