Mosdos Literature Opal Opal integrates language skills with literature for third-grade readers, building on their recently-acquired comprehension and reading fluency skills. Opal includes works by Myron Uhlberg, Ann Cameron, Berniece Freschet, and Russell E. Erickson. More than 15 poems follow thematically linked prose selections, allowing students to appreciate poets like Emily Dickinson, Jack Prelutsky, and Langston Hughes. The Opal bundle consists of a two-book Student Reader, a Student Activity Workbook, and a two-part Teacher’s Edition. The extra student pack includes only the Student Reader and Student Activity Workbook. Opal includes: 22 short stories 1 play 1 novella 3 biographies 2 nonfiction essays 1 long narrative poem 17 poetry selections Brief author biographies About Mosdos Literature Literature cannot be neutral but will clash or harmonize with your family’s values. Mosdos Literature is a complete literature program that does not glamorize evil nor present subject matter that is not age-appropriate. It never portrays a cynical disregard for positive values as normal, but it reinforces the universal ideals of courage, honesty, loyalty, and compassion. Nearly 2 decades ago, Mosdos Press launched a unique literature series that would teach all necessary language arts skills through a curriculum that promotes traditional values. Readings are from both classic and contemporary works that are wholesome and stress caring for others and a concern for the natural world. Student Reader Mosdos Literature begins with the Student Reader, which is beautifully illustrated using many full-color photographs, color drawings, and black-and-white pictures. From the beginning, Mosdos committed to collecting for the Student Readers only the most engaging, morally rich, and intellectually challenging selections of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama, the novella, and for the older grades, novels. There is an introduction to every story in the Student Reader and an explanation of some facet of literature. That literary focus can include defining character, theme, internal and external conflicts, setting, climax, foreshadowing, and more. This academic component is developed and illuminated through the stories. Vocabulary words that might be unfamiliar are presented in boxes on the pages where the word first appears in the account. The stories are followed not just by the classic review questions designed to assess reading comprehension but also by more complex questions that require thoughtful analysis. Every unit concludes with activities such as writing a short skit, doing a craft, or memorizing a poem. Pick the ones that best suit your child; there are far too many to do them all. Student Activity Workbook Next is the consumable and engaging Student Activity Workbook that works to expand the value of the Mosdos curriculum. For nearly every story in the Student Reader, the Student Activity Workbook contains corresponding vocabulary, creative writing, or comprehension questions. It also provides extended reinforcement of the literary elements being taught. These assignments help you evaluate areas of progress in your child and concepts that might require additional work. The literature, vocabulary, and writing components all tie together, giving your child a chance to truly understand what was taught by approaching it in various ways. Student Activity Workbooks vary by grade levels. There are more word games and puzzles for vocabulary practice, activities that focus on various language arts skills, and brief composition work for younger grades. In older grades, the puzzles and games gradually decrease while the number of writing assignments increases. Teacher’s Edition Each Teacher’s Edition is detailed and well-organized. The Teacher’s Edition will make lively discussions with your child possible through great commentary plus questions and answers. Homeschooling parents will appreciate that Mosdos Press did not assume any level of expertise or teaching degree when preparing their Teacher Editions. So whether new or experienced, anyone can teach literature. Each page of the Student Reader is duplicated at a smaller size in the Teacher’s Edition, still abundantly easy to read. Information is arranged in the ample margins around these replicated pages, discussing the literary components found in each story with clear, concise explanations. Of course, the Teacher’s Guide also includes the answers for the Student Activity Workbook. This makes teaching a lot easier for every homeschool parent. Mosdos Press is the ideal literature curriculum for any family who wants an excellent academic program that encourages wholesome values without any religious content. The thought-provoking selections are colorful and engaging, and while not religious, they still reflect sound principles. Features Download PDF "Sunflower" Student Edition Sample.

About Mosdos Literature
Literature cannot be neutral but will clash or harmonize with your family’s values. Mosdos Literature is a complete literature program that does not glamorize evil nor present subject matter that is not age-appropriate. It never portrays a cynical disregard for positive values as normal, but it reinforces the universal ideals of courage, honesty, loyalty, and compassion.
 
Nearly 2 decades ago, Mosdos Press launched a unique literature series that would teach all necessary language arts skills through a curriculum that promotes traditional values. Readings are from both classic and contemporary works that are wholesome and stress caring for others and a concern for the natural world.
 
Student Reader
Mosdos Literature begins with the Student Reader, which is beautifully illustrated using many full-color photographs, color drawings, and black-and-white pictures. From the beginning, Mosdos committed to collecting for the Student Readers only the most engaging, morally rich, and intellectually challenging selections of fiction, nonfiction, poetry, drama, the novella, and for the older grades, novels.
 
There is an introduction to every story in the Student Reader and an explanation of some facet of literature. That literary focus can include defining character, theme, internal and external conflicts, setting, climax, foreshadowing, and more. This academic component is developed and illuminated through the stories. 
 
Vocabulary words that might be unfamiliar are presented in boxes on the pages where the word first appears in the account. The stories are followed not just by the classic review questions designed to assess reading comprehension but also by more complex questions that require thoughtful analysis. Every unit concludes with activities such as writing a short skit, doing a craft, or memorizing a poem. Pick the ones that best suit your child; there are far too many to do them all.
 
Student Activity Workbook
Next is the consumable and engaging Student Activity Workbook that works to expand the value of the Mosdos curriculum. For nearly every story in the Student Reader, the Student Activity Workbook contains corresponding vocabulary, creative writing, or comprehension questions. It also provides extended reinforcement of the literary elements being taught. 
 
These assignments help you evaluate areas of progress in your child and concepts that might require additional work. The literature, vocabulary, and writing components all tie together, giving your child a chance to truly understand what was taught by approaching it in various ways. 
 
Student Activity Workbooks vary by grade levels. There are more word games and puzzles for vocabulary practice, activities that focus on various language arts skills, and brief composition work for younger grades. In older grades, the puzzles and games gradually decrease while the number of writing assignments increases.
 
Teacher’s Edition
Each Teacher’s Edition is detailed and well-organized. The Teacher’s Edition will make lively discussions with your child possible through great commentary plus questions and answers. 
 
Homeschooling parents will appreciate that Mosdos Press did not assume any level of expertise or teaching degree when preparing their Teacher Editions. So whether new or experienced, anyone can teach literature.

CursiveLogic Research now reports a clear connection between handwriting and language, memory, and critical thinking skills. A student who takes notes by hand performs better than students who take notes on laptops, increasing both understanding and recall. Moreover, writing letters, especially in cursive, instead of viewing them on a screen, is associated with more advanced brain function. If you have a child who struggles with learning cursive, CursiveLogic may be just what you need. Using a multi-sensory approach, four basic shapes, and just ten weeks, CursiveLogic will teach your child proper formation and connection for all letters. Rather than teaching each letter individually, CursiveLogic teaches concurrently all the letters that share a common shape. This single-volume includes both teacher and student information. CursiveLogic includes information about grip, body and hand placement, suggestions for left-handed students, and more. Features Number of pages: 112 Format: Spiral-bound workbook Publisher: CursiveLogic ISBN: 9780996505710 Faith-Based: No review by Educational Roots ”I definitely recommend this program. It has been fantastic.” Watch the Review review by Cummins Life ”CursiveLogic is made to be a faster way to learn cursive because rather than teaching the alphabet letter by letter as in most cursive programs, CursiveLogic's method focuses on four basic letter shapes - oval, loop, swing and mound.” Read the Review

According to national standards, students in grades four to twelve must now be able to demonstrate their knowledge of how to use common Greek and Latin roots for analyzing the meaning of complex words. Lovely! Isn't this just what we needed, one more requirement from the government that our children will be tested for yearly? Yet surprisingly enough, it makes sense. Children who have a solid grasp of word roots are bound to be children with better reading comprehension skills, primarily because they have learned to decode words. But regardless of the benefit, you're probably not looking for another task. In that case, you will appreciate the Word Roots series. It will teach your children the meanings of Latin and Greek prefixes, roots, and suffixes of words commonly used in English. Because the pages are reproducible, the entire family can be prepared for any assessment tests their state throws at them. Word Roots teaches children the meanings of prefixes, roots, and suffixes commonly used in English. Learning word elements will dramatically improve spelling and the ability to decode unfamiliar words. Word Roots will add hundreds of words to your child's vocabulary and greater depth to their thinking and writing. Includes teaching suggestions and answers.

According to national standards, students in grades four to twelve must now be able to demonstrate their knowledge of how to use common Greek and Latin roots for analyzing the meaning of complex words.
 
Lovely! Isn't this just what we needed, one more requirement from the government that our children will be tested for yearly? Yet surprisingly enough, it makes sense. 
 
Children who have a solid grasp of word roots are bound to be children with better reading comprehension skills, primarily because they have learned to decode words. But regardless of the benefit, you're probably not looking for another task. In that case, you will appreciate the Word Roots series. 
 
It will teach your children the meanings of Latin and Greek prefixes, roots, and suffixes of words commonly used in English. Because the pages are reproducible, the entire family can be prepared for any assessment tests their state throws at them.
 
Word Roots teaches children the meanings of prefixes, roots, and suffixes commonly used in English. Learning word elements will dramatically improve spelling and the ability to decode unfamiliar words. Word Roots will add hundreds of words to your child's vocabulary and greater depth to their thinking and writing.
 
Includes teaching suggestions and answers.

Math-U-See Gamma is typically a good fit for a student entering third grade; to find the Math-U-See level that best fits your child you can try the placement test here. Math-U-See Gamma Once students have mastered the concepts of addition and subtraction (covered in Alpha and Beta), they are ready for multiplication. Gamma teaches single-digit facts and multiple-digit multiplication skills. 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. Note: Math-U-See manipulative comes in a standard cardboard box with a lightweight plastic tray. These do not hold up well, either in shipment or daily life, so we'd suggest considering a different long-term storage option, such as a bin or bag. Our crew always does their best, but unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that the packaging will arrive in good condition. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- What Is Taught in the Gamma Level? Major Concepts and Skills Include: Using strategies based on place value and properties of operations to multiply Fluently multiplying any combination of whole numbers Solving for an unknown factor Solving abstract and real-world problems involving addition, subtraction, and multiplication Measuring and computing area Relating concepts of area to addition and multiplication Additional Concepts and Skills: Skip counting as a precursor to multiplication Adding and subtracting time in hours and minutes Multiplying, adding, and subtracting U.S. currency and standard units of measure Representing, recording, and interpreting data Understanding of basic fractions Estimating and solving measurement problems --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In What Order Do I Use the Math-U-See Levels?

Each volume of The Story of the World includes the details of battles, kingdoms, cultures, and customs from every continent and major people group.

About the Story of the World Series:
This captivating read-aloud series will introduce your children to the world's great history presented chronologically from the beginning of time. Each volume of The Story of the World includes the details of battles, kingdoms, cultures, and customs from every continent and major people group. It is woven together into stories that children will find mesmerizing. With short chapters, many less than seven pages, The Story of the World presents history in small, easily-digestible chunks. Of particular appeal to children will be the occasional story about a hypothetical child in the culture of that time and popular fictional stories.
The Story of the World is intended to be a read-aloud program for first through sixth grade, but it can work equally well as independent reading by an older child. Don't restrict your scope of history to just American history. These are what we consider the best world history books for this age group. If you have ever found history dull and humdrum, these books might just change that opinion!

Student Notebooks for Science in the Age of Reason The Berean Science Notebooks are a convenient companion to the Berean texts for busy families. Each Notebook is written for a specific Berean Science title and for the student's age that will be using it. These printed Notebooks are not required; plain paper or any ordinary notebook will suffice. However, the layout of these Berean Science Notebooks provides just the right amount of lined and unlined space for each regular lesson. Some lessons even include fill-in-the-blank sentences, diagrams, or other helpful elements. The challenge lesson pages are left blank for an added challenge. Older Student Notebooks Older Student Notebooks are designed for the middle category of Berean Science students. Students who use this level need strong basic writing skills; therefore, many 3rd- and 4th-grade students will find this level a good fit. Oldest Student Notebooks The Oldest Student Notebooks pose more challenging questions and are often a good fit for 5th- or 6th-grade learners. What About Younger Students? You will notice that the easiest level for Berean Science, called Younger Students, does not require a notebook. The questions at this level are aimed at about second grade and younger and can typically be answered orally. How Do I Know Which Is the Right Level? Not sure which level will be the best fit for your child? Each Berean Science text has sample pages available. At the end of each lesson, you can see what questions are posed to the younger, older, and oldest students and decide which level is most appropriate for your learner. About Science in the Scientific Revolution With Science in the Scientific Revolution, your student will; Discover what a bishop's hat has to do with the heart's mitral valve Flip a coin before reading Pascal's wager Count candies to learn about population estimates Accelerate a wagon of books to experience the importance of seat belts. The third book in the Berean Science series, Science in the Scientific Revolution covers scientific developments from 1543 to the end of the 1600s. Students will see that most of the great natural philosophers of this time were Christians who studied the world to learn more about the God who invented it. About Berean Science Berean Science offers students an opportunity to study science through the lens of history. Berean Science teaches science chronologically using a narrative dialogue and a Christian worldview. Each volume has vast and varied science topics. The hardcover textbooks have lots of full-color illustrations. The lesson is concise but complete, distilling down to the core of what your child needs to know. Lesson material is often just a page or two following each activity, perfect for any child that struggles to sit and pay attention. Fairly bursting with experiments, Berean Science's strong focus on this hands-on component makes it an ideal program for the wigglers in your household. Every lesson has an activity of some sort! Activities, all color-coded and easy to find quickly, often involve inexpensive household items and are the gateway to the exploration of each scientific concept. Berean Science lends itself well to multi-grade homes that prefer to use just one science curriculum for the entire family. Each lesson concludes with questions or additional activities for "younger," "older," and "oldest" students. Lessons are taught directly from the text, so parents and students share the same book. Sprinkled throughout the text are optional "challenge" lessons that you are free to skip if time is an issue. Each book has a helpful section in the front that tells you all the materials you will need, broken down per chapter, for doing the experiments. We offer a lab kit if you would like a convenient, time-saving way to get nearly all of the materials you need for the experiments! This lab kit is assembled with virtually every non-household item the curriculum requires, so you won't have to search for elusive components. Berean Science is an excellent way to teach science and a welcomed addition to the Timberdoodle kits.

Lab Kit for Science in the Scientific Revolution

Building Blocks of Science Laboratory Notebook The Building Blocks Laboratory Notebook includes the 5 core science subjects (chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy) integrated into one softcover notebook. The Laboratory Notebook is meant to accompany the Building Blocks Student Textbook and Building Blocks Teacher’s Manual for one year of study. There are (22) experiments in each Laboratory Notebook that align with the chapters in the Student Textbook. There are also (22) optional “Just for Fun” experiments. Students perform their own investigations and record their data directly in the Lab Notebook. About Real Science-4-Kids Building Blocks of Science Kids ask real science questions. Building Blocks of Science enables them to discover real science answers. Because science disciplines are so interlaced, to learn one subject requires a foundational understanding of another. Building Blocks of Science addresses this by introducing students to the five core scientific disciplines of chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. With Building Blocks of Science, students learn science in a sequential and logical order, beginning with basic building blocks of science and expanding on these as they advance in grade level. Hands-on experiments for each chapter encourage critical thinking, experimentation, and creativity. Exploring the Building Blocks of Science is a year-long graded program for grades 1-7 covering all five core disciplines each year. It’s based on an upward-spiral teaching method where disciplines are repeatedly visited and built upon over months and across grades, which is proven to lead to better long-term mastery of facts and concepts. Building Blocks of Science is written to accommodate both secular and Christian homeschoolers. The publisher, Real Science-4-Kids, has received several awards, including the Practical Homeschooling Reader Awards. The study bundles contain a student textbook, teacher’s manual, and laboratory notebook, as well as printable lesson plans, quizzes, and a study notebook. What Topics are Covered in Book 3? Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 3 Student Textbook has 22 chapters and introduces students to how chemistry, biology, physics, astronomy, and geology are used to study the planet we live on and the cosmos. Students learn about polymers, DNA, and mixtures; where plants live, the basic cell, and photosynthesis; how electrical energy and magnets work; how the biosphere and hydrosphere shape Earth, Earth's magnetic field; galaxies and Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy. Students begin open inquiry with suggested questions found in the Teacher’s Manual which also has directions for guiding the experiments. The Laboratory Notebook contains 22 experiments that explore topics covered in the Student Text. Experiments include working with mixtures, making a polymer, observing photosynthesis and seed growth, making electric circuits, exploring electric charge, testing for porosity, observing geological features, modeling a galaxy, making a comet, and many more. Each book has 4 chapters of each of the 5 core science subjects (chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy) and an introductory and a concluding chapter, for a total of 22 chapters.

Lab Kit for Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 3
Have you ever used Building Blocks of Science and wished you had a prebuilt lab kit with the supplies you needed instead of going out and getting the items yourself? Have you thought about using Building Blocks of Science but felt intimidated by searching several stores to gather all of the lab supplies? Make your life easier, and save a ton of time by purchasing the lab supply kit that correlates to the experiments in <a href="https://timberdoodle.com/products/building-blocks-of-science-3" class="editor-rtfLink" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://timberdoodle.com/products/building-blocks-of-science-3" target="_blank">Building Blocks of Science 3</a>.
 
The lab kit contains over 30 items you are not likely to have around the house. You will still need to gather a few things from around the house, like a few standard office supplies, some kitchen items, balls, etc. You may also have to buy food items, but trust us, this is a good thing. You do not want a kit shipped to your house full of fresh fruits, vegetables, and cheese that has been sitting on a warehouse shelf. 
 
However, for the things you would have to pick up at the craft store, hobby store, and/or superstore, this handy kit has virtually all of them in just the quantities you'll need to complete your experiments. This kit also does not include a handful of optional or cost-prohibitive items that you won't find in your home. If you choose to complete those experiments or parts of experiments, you'll need to pick those up.
 
Note: this kit is designed to be used by a parent or teacher with a child. It is not intended for use by children 12 and under unsupervised.

Zentangle for Kids Zentangle for Kids is an easy-to-learn, fun way to create striking images by drawing structured patterns. What is the difference between a doodle and a Zentangle? Doodles are often random and done with no preplanning. Zentangles are deliberate. The patterns each have a specific name and are built one pencil stroke at a time. By concentrating on completing a design, Zentangle for Kids intentionally facilitates a shift in focus while improving your child’s eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills. Many Zentangle books are available, but this one for children has the most straightforward instructions, the most motivating assignments, and is fully dogma-free. Enjoy. If the thought of Zen in the title scares you, bear this in mind. Anyone who has ever cross-stitched a design knitted an elaborate pattern or calligraphed a verse has experienced that same deep-thinking, fully-focused condition. If you can get over the name, your child is not only going to love this book; he will actually walk away with transferable skills.

Test Prep: Grade 3 Home-taught children who are not prepared for their yearly standardized tests are at a distinct disadvantage from the government- and privately-taught children. If you reside in a state that requires standardized tests, you should know that most certified teachers teach with the test in mind. In other words, teachers understand the types of questions that will appear on the standardized tests, and they will spend weeks preceding the tests covering the necessary information. If you do not do likewise, your children stand a chance of performing poorly in comparison. For those of us in a state where some form of testing is required but never scrutinized, preparing is not as critical. However, some of you are in states where the test results are not only analyzed but used as a basis for whether you may continue to home educate. Why not ensure your children are "playing on a level playing field"? The Test Prep series offers students the essential groundwork to prepare for standardized tests. Based on subject areas covered by most state standardized tests, these colorful, inviting workbooks provide a good sampling of all the skills required for each grade level. Practice pages, strategies, tips, and full-length practice tests build test-taking confidence and skills in reading comprehension, vocabulary, language, and math. The test tips are beneficial, and the information and instructions are super-easy to follow. Developed by a leading educational publisher, Harcourt's Test Prep provides a great opportunity for children to review before taking standardized state tests. Engaging, practical, and easy to use, Test Prep will help your children face the tests with the same confidence that their peers will have.

Paint-by-Number Museum Series – set of 4 With the Paint-by-Number Museum Series, your young artist will imitate four very different famous masterpieces: The Eiffel Tower by Georges Seurat, Irises and Sunflowers, both by Vincent van Gogh, and The Japanese Footbridge by Claude Monet. Painting by number is often perceived as simplistic, uninspired, and mechanical. Yet Leonardo da Vinci himself assigned assistants to paint in numbered areas on a work that he had already sketched out. Completing paint-by-number projects helps your child learn to analyze a subject and observe areas of color. It is an excellent exercise in brush control and strokes as he focuses entirely on getting the right color in the right spot. Unlike other paint-by-number sets, the Paint-by-Number Museum Series does not print the numbers on each canvas but on reference sheets. Your artist can choose to imitate the masterpiece or paint with his own matchless style. Brief illustrated instructions with a snippet about the techniques used by the master artists when creating their works of art will get your miniaturist at the easel fast. Will the results rival the originals? At this price, no. But the attention to detail and the skills developed are sure to set a lifetime of art appreciation in motion. The set includes four painting kits, each with a 6" x 8" canvas, pop-up easel, brush, six acrylic paint colors, and instructions. Ages: 8+.

Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 3 Bundle Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 3 Student Textbook has 22 chapters. It introduces students to how chemistry, biology, physics, astronomy, and geology are used to study the planet we live on and the cosmos. Students learn about polymers, DNA, and mixtures. They study where plants live, the basic cell and photosynthesis, and how electrical energy and magnets work. They discover Earth's magnetic field, galaxies, Earth in the Milky Way Galaxy, and how the biosphere and hydrosphere shape Earth. Students begin the open inquiry with suggested questions found in the Teacher's Manual, which also has directions for guiding the experiments. The Laboratory Notebook contains 22 experiments that explore topics covered in the Student Text. Experiments include working with mixtures, making a polymer, observing photosynthesis and seed growth, making electric circuits, exploring electric charge, testing for porosity, observing geological features, modeling a galaxy, creating a comet, and many more. Each book has 4 chapters of the 5 core science subjects (chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy) and an introductory and a concluding chapter for 22 chapters. We offer a lab kit if you would like a convenient, time-saving way to get nearly all of the materials you will need for the experiments! This lab kit is already assembled with virtually every non-household item the curriculum requires, so you won't have to search for elusive components. About Real Science-4-Kids Building Blocks of Science Kids ask real science questions. Building Blocks of Science enables them to discover real science answers. Because science disciplines are so interlaced, learning one subject requires a foundational understanding of another. Building Blocks of Science addresses this by introducing students to the five core scientific disciplines of chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy. With Building Blocks of Science, students learn science in a sequential and logical order, beginning with fundamental building blocks of science and expanding on these as they advance in grade level. Hands-on experiments for each chapter encourage critical thinking, experimentation, and creativity. Exploring the Building Blocks of Science is a year-long program for grades 1-7, covering all five core disciplines. It's based on a spiral teaching method where subjects are repeatedly visited and built upon over months and across grades. This has proven to lead to better long-term mastery of facts and concepts. Building Blocks of Science is written to accommodate both secular and Christian homeschoolers. The publisher, Real Science-4-Kids, has received several awards, including the Practical Homeschooling Reader Awards. The study bundles contain a student textbook, teacher's manual, laboratory notebook, printable lesson plans, quizzes, and a study notebook. See our optional lab kit here.
