Typically counted as 1/2 credit for high school students. Precepts of Anatomy and Physiology With a combination of text and graphics, Precepts of Anatomy and Physiology will not only teach your older child about the interdependency of body systems, bone, tissue, and organs of the incredible human body. It will also delve into that awkward topic, reproduction. It is a judgment call, how much you teach and when but if your teens are ready for a more mature look at the origin of human life, this is the most age-appropriate we have seen. All the nitty-gritty details a teen needs to know, with the author's much-appreciated bias about the necessity of marriage as a prerequisite. What the publisher recommends: "The Precepts of Anatomy and Physiology can serve as a stand-alone unit study worthy of 1/2 high school transcript credit in anatomy, or may be included as an adjunct to the Principles, Theories and Precepts of Biology course for 1 or 1 1/2 biology credits, depending on local or state policies for assigning transcript credit for high school courses."

Typically counted as 1/2 credit for high school students. ﻿Medical Investigation 101 Your inquisitive high schooler is going to love this course. Medical Investigation 101 is an eye-opening look at how doctors analyze the medical mysteries they face every day. The central theme of Medical Investigation 101 is the medical diagnostic process using a variety of realistic case studies. It starts with the patient’s chief complaint. The student is instructed to also consider symptoms, examination notes, the patient’s medical records, and so forth. In Medical Investigation 101, your teen will learn more about situations they might have experienced, seen, or heard. Practical information like lifestyle habits and CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) is also touched on. The course has three components: the Medical Investigation 101 textbook, the Medical Investigation 101 Workbook, and the Medical Investigation 101 Teacher’s Edition, which is the answer key for the workbook. The Medical Investigation 101 Workbook has several activity pages like crossword puzzles or anatomical drawings to label to reinforce vocabulary and concepts taught. Even students who have no desire to pursue the medical field will take a keen interest in Medical Investigation 101 because everyone wants to know how their body functions.

Typically counted as 1 credit for high school students.Math-U-See PreCalculus is typically a good fit for a student entering Eleventh grade; to find the Math-U-See level that best fits your child you can try the placement test here. Math-U-See PreCalculus PreCalculus combines classic trigonometry with the advanced algebra needed for calculus and other courses. ﻿Topics include trig ratios, trigonometric identities, laws of trigonometry, radian measure, polar equations, functions and their graphs, sequences and series, and limits. About Math-U-See Curriculum For more than 20 years, Math-U-See's renowned mastery-based, multi-sensory, student-paced program has been the answer for countless families. Math-U-See is a comprehensive K-12 math curriculum that uses manipulatives to illustrate and teach the concepts. If you regularly experience tears from your child whenever new mathematical topics are introduced, you need Math-U-See's systematic, precept-upon-precept math program. This manipulative-based curriculum ensures your children will be able to fully understand each mathematical concept before moving on to another one. Math-U-See is mastery-oriented, clear, to the point, and compelling with simple, uncluttered pages. In Math-U-See, new ideas are introduced step by step logically. At the same time, concepts that have been mastered are reviewed periodically. The lessons are short, and there are many opportunities for multi-sensory experiences using videos and manipulatives. Math-U-See books are organized into levels, not grades, so students can proceed at their own pace as they master concepts. This is particularly helpful for the child that is not performing at grade level but would rather not have that be a daily reminder. Student workbooks are softcover, and the pages are perforated and punched so they can be removed, completed, and placed in binders if you choose. Occasional fun exercises, like dot-to-dots and crossword puzzles, have been incorporated into the student workbooks. Student workbook pages are consumable, so each child will need their own copy. Instruction manuals include complete answer keys with solutions for all problems. This is more a necessity at the upper levels than the lower ones. The Math-U-See Manipulatives are more than a supplement. They are an integral part of the curriculum. Used from the Primer through Algebra 1 levels, the manipulatives build each concept from place value through polynomials through Integer Blocks, Fraction Overlays, and Algebra/Decimal Inserts. Math-U-See does require a fair amount of parental involvement, especially in the younger grades. They have bent over backwards to make the lesson planning as painless as possible. But to get the most out of Math-U-See, parents should be prepared to plan and not start the lessons unprepared. Math-U-See's teacher guide and supplemental DVD will teach you, the parent, more than just how to solve a math problem. They also show why the problem is solved in this manner and when to apply the concept. Each lesson is demonstrated on the DVDs with such kind-hearted enthusiasm. I now understand why children line up at homeschool conferences to give the instructor, Steve Demme, a hug. DVDs can be played on a DVD player or computer; however, Windows 10 users will need to download a separate video player. Math-U-See is laid out with step-by-step procedures for introducing, practicing, mastering, and reviewing concepts. How do you know when your child has 'mastered' a math concept? Not just when he gets the answers right but when he can teach the concept back to you, especially if he can do so with a word problem. Math-U-See will show you how. So, if you want to give your child a rock-solid mathematical foundation, if your child is shaky on the basics, or just looking for a no-frills, common-sense program, you will be pleased with Math-U-See. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Is Taught in the PreCalculus Level?
