Science, for many, is among the most vexing of subjects for homeschooling parents as well as those with children in traditional schools. For homeschoolers, it is often difficult to arrange the experimental aspects of science in a manner which contextualizes the knowledge for students and engages their interest. For homeschoolers and children in traditional schools, textbooks and teachers often challenge our Islamic beliefs and values before we’re even aware. Our science class will attempt to address both of these issues.
Our science curriculum will endeavor to engage our students in learning primarily through reading, discussion, and experimentation. Experiments and/or hands-on learning will be conducted regularly (إن شاء الله). A key component of our study will explore the usefulness of science as a tool for understanding the physical world as well as its many limitations.
