High School Labs

For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible—all things were created through him and for him. (Colossians 1:16)

Are you looking for a full year of high school science labs with a biblical worldview? Do you want the benefits of top-level instructors and resources that the Creation Museum offers?
