More About the Author

Carolyn is a retired career science techer. She lives with her husband in a small town in Northern Mississippi. Their simple household of two sometimes swells during family gatherings to hotel status that requires three large tables for a sitdown meal. In between family gatherings and grandchildren events, she enjoys writing about science.

Her writings are somewhat unconventonal in that she is skeptical of Darwinian evolution and ages of billions of years. She sees strong evidence for recent worldwide catastrophic events that produced unique and unrepeatable conditions--such as trillions of fossils; massive deposits of coal, oil, and gas; and deep sedimentary layers throughout the earth.

She believes it is a disservice to students to limit historical achievements to name, date, and discovery. Although historical scientists were ordinary people, their lives were often amazing, intriguing, and of great consquence to future generations. Her writings incorporate scientific content, history of science, nature of science, and worldviews. This is done in creative ways to make science interesting, inspiring, thought-provoking, and relevant.

This review is from: Matter: Its Properties and Its Changes Student Journal (Investigate the Possibilities Series) (Investigate the Possibilities: Elementary Physics) (Paperback)

This is our first year to homeschool our 11 year old son, and being a scientist myself, I wanted a hands on science curriculum, something that would let my son get out of a book and into getting "dirty". DeRosa and Reeve's Matter was a perfect choice. My son has asked more questions this year than ever before. As he is doing one experiment, he is logically asking the next questions, almost anticipating the next experiment! And the Dig Deeper activities are helping him see what real research is all about! Science is now his favorite subject. Okay, honestly, science was his favorite subject before, but now he loves it even more!!
