Easy Grammar Plus Teacher's Guide Easy Grammar texts use the prepositional approach combined with effective strategies. This helps students understand grammar, a tool for speaking and writing correctly. Non-grade level (junior high through adult) Easy Grammar Plus, Teacher's Guide contains additional higher-level concepts such as gerunds plus the perfect and progressive tenses. It also includes more difficult capitalization and punctuation rules, unit reviews, unit tests, cumulative reviews, and cumulative tests ﻿About Easy Grammar: Most children dread grammar study because it is too complex. But Easy Grammar is just that, easy. What sets Easy Grammar apart is the memorization of prepositions. This is the first step because once the student can identify and eliminate the prepositional phrases in a sentence, then determining the subject, verb, and other parts of speech is much easier. If you lack an adequate grammar background and find even the preceding sentence intimidating, relax. The hardest part will be memorizing the prepositions. After that, everything falls into place. Easy Grammar employs a virtually "hands-on" approach by deleting and marking certain words or phrases. The vocabulary has been kept simple, and, in most cases, the sentences are relatively short. This logical, straightforward, no-nonsense grammar program is easy because each lesson focuses on just one topic. It is clear for the students to understand and provides a logical sequence of language arts skills. Additional strategies and tips that have helped the author's students are also provided. Lots of review helps to ensure comprehensive learning with excellent results. Each Teacher's Manual has: Teaching instructions Worksheet pages that can be copied An answer key on each facing page Unit reviews Cumulative reviews Unit tests Cumulative tests You can also order workbooks if you don't want to copy the pages out of the Teacher's Manual, but our family has taken an even more miserly approach by using the Teacher's Manual with a piece of opaque construction paper to cover the answers on the facing page. We are strong proponents of independent study, which means each child receives a Teacher's Manual instead of a student workbook. They can read the teaching instructions, do the worksheets and correct their own work. This option does not work if you have a couple of children who need the same level book. In that case, photocopying the worksheets from the Teacher's Manual or using the workbooks (which may not be photocopied) may be more cost-effective. Note: Workbooks and Teacher Guides contain worksheets and instruction sheets found in the teacher text. Teacher Guides also include unit reviews, unit tests, cumulative reviews, answer keys, and teaching strategies. Features Easy to Teach... Easy to Learn... Easy to Remember!

Easy Grammar Plus Teacher's Guide

Mosdos Press Jade The Jade Student Reader is an outstanding book that has captivated seventh-graders across the nation. Initially printed in 1999, Jade has gone through twelve printings and is used by over 25,000 students worldwide. Unusual for the seventh-grade level, Jade is replete with literature that spans several centuries and is drawn from regions across the globe. The curriculum, original art and design, and excellent literature have established Jade as Mosdos Literature’s most popular anthology. The Jade set consists of the Student Reader, Student Activity Workbook, and two-part Teacher’s Edition. The extra student pack includes only the Student Reader and the Student Activity Workbook. Jade includes: 24 short stories 39 poems 9 nonfiction essays 2 plays A complete novel 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 Student Edition Sample.

It is a positive change to our year and one we will continue to use.” Read the Review review by My Three Girls ”This is absolutely able to be a stand alone curriculum and will cover everything a literature curriculum should. You can also use this very easily as an enjoyable read-aloud together, or independent read and workbook for your student. The beauty of this is it can be so easily implemented either way.” Read the Review

Wordsmith Student For young people who want to improve their writing skills, step-by-step instructions are provided that will help any writer improve his techniques. The introduction provides a brief review of grammar followed by instruction on building stronger sentences, exercises in descriptive and narrative writing, creating dialogue, story writing, and writing from a particular point of view. Plus, practice the essential skills of every good writer, proofreading and revising. Wordsmith Teacher Book Provides teachers the answers to exercises found in Wordsmith. About the Wordsmith Series Have you ever felt overwhelmed with the slew of creative writing programs available for homeschoolers? As a curriculum provider, we have seen more writing programs than any sensible parent would ever want to see, and candidly, after a while, they all look pretty much the same. So what stood out about the Wordsmith line? No Slick Promises To start with, the engaging exercises and doable assignments are pertinent for reinforcing the systematic process of thinking, organizing, writing, evaluating, and re-writing that is critical to any creative writing program. But ultimately, at the very core of the Wordsmith program is the honest reality presented by the author, Janie B. Cheaney, a regular columnist for World Magazine, that while her books will not always produce an enthusiastic and prolific writer, the Wordsmith series, the actual skills of creative writing can be acquired by anyone. So if you need a language arts program that addresses creative writing in more depth, the Wordsmith series is the most effective, painless approach we have seen.

The biggest plus so far is that I don't get the rolled eyes and groans when it's time to pull out Wordsmith, like I did with last year's writing curriculum I chose.

As a short course, I think it does provide the foundation for getting a young writer on the path to understanding that writing is more than just putting words on paper. There is an approach, there are rules, and being able to apply those effectively are the key to success. If you have never had your child really sit down and walk through how to construct sentences, paragraphs, and finally a full essay, then I can easily recommend this program.

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 pretest/posttest, lesson reviews, teaching suggestions, and a dictionary of the prefixes, roots, suffixes, and vocabulary words derived from Latin and/or Greek word elements. Features View Sample Pages here Lessons Cover: • Meanings of prefixes, roots, and suffixes used to form the vocabulary words Activities Following Lessons Include: • Spelling and Defining Words • Completing the Sentence • Defining the Word Parts • Writing Sentences • And Optional Creative Writing Answers are located in the back of this book.

Math-U-See Pre-Algebra is typically a good fit for a student entering seventh grade; to find the Math-U-See level that best fits your child you can try the placement test here. Math-U-See Pre-Algebra Pre-Algebra teaches the basic rules of solving equations using the associative, commutative, and other properties. Simple operations with polynomials are demonstrated with place-value blocks for conceptual understanding before being taught conventionally. Geometry concepts include surface area, volume, and the Pythagorean theorem. 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 Pre-Algebra Level?

There are seven books for elementary grades which can be used in the following order: Primer, Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, Epsilon, and Zeta. These first seven books are followed by Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, PreCalculus with Trigonometry, and Calculus. Placement tests for the different levels are available here. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How Do I Choose Which Curriculum Set I Need? Pre-Algebra Universal Set The Math-U-See Pre-Algebra Universal Set includes everything a new customer needs to be successful with Math-U-See Pre-Algebra. The Instruction Pack, Student Pack, Integer Block Kit, Algebra/Decimal Inserts, and the Pre-Algebra Digital Pack are conveniently bundled so customers can be certain they have all of the items they need. Pre-Algebra Level Up Set The Pre-Algebra Level Up Set is geared toward families who already own the Integer Block Kit and simply need the Algebra/Decimal Inserts. If you are looking for a complete set, minus the massive manipulative set, this is what you want. In addition to the Instruction Pack, Student Pack, and the Algebra/Decimal Inserts, the Pre-Algebra Level Up Set also includes the Pre-Algebra Digital Pack with access to streaming instruction videos, instructional PDFs, and all the other online resources for the Pre-Algebra level in one convenient location. Pre-Algebra Level Up Base Sets The Pre-Algebra Level Up Base Set includes the Instruction Pack, Student Pack, and 12 months of access to the Pre-Algebra Digital Pack. The Pre-Algebra Level Up Base Set is the right choice for families who already own both the Integer Block Kit and the Algebra/Decimal Inserts, or who are purchasing them as part of another Math-U-See Universal Set. Pre-Algebra Student Pack This is the right choice for families who have more than one student in the Pre-Algebra level and who need a second workbook, or for families who have previously used Pre-Algebra for one student and already own both the Integer Block Kit, Algebra/Decimal Inserts and the Instruction Pack. The Student Pack includes solely the student workbook and the test booklet; the Digital Pack is not included. You must have the Instruction Pack to utilize Math-U-See effectively. If you do not already own the Instruction Pack, you should purchase the Universal Set or Level Up set, not the Student Pack.

Simple operations with polynomials are demonstrated with place-value blocks for conceptual understanding before being taught conventionally. Geometry concepts include surface area, volume, and the Pythagorean theorem.
 
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.

The Basics of Critical Thinking The Basics of Critical Thinking is another favorite book from The Critical Thinking Co. This workbook's color illustrations, engaging storylines, and clear explanations teach your student how to think. He'll learn about common argument forms and practice the critical skill of identifying and evaluating evidence. The Basics of Critical Thinking teaches such a vital skill that your student might find that it's the part of this year's schoolwork that he uses most throughout the rest of his life. Plus, he will have such a blast completing it! Although this book teaches common argument forms, its primary focus is identifying and evaluating evidence – the very basis of critical thinking. Most propaganda, advertising schemes, legal trickery, and bad science are not the result of complex arguments; they result from half-truths and simple arguments. The Basics of Critical Thinking utilizes an engaging yet far from juvenile approach to provide your student with the tools to see through such false arguments. Appropriate for students as young as 4th grade and up through 9th grade. Features View Sample Pages HereTopics What Is Critical Thinking? Conclusions and Decisions Beliefs and Claims Finding (Identifying) Evidence Evaluating Evidence Inferring and Inferences Facts and Opinions Facts and Probable Truths False and Probably False Facts, Probably True, and Probably False Venn Diagrams Logical Connectives Advertising Agreements and Contracts Common Errors in Reasoning Arguments Valid and Invalid Arguments Fallacies Answers are located in the back of this book.

Laser Chess If your family likes abstract strategy games and finds lasers intriguing, then they will have a blast with Laser Chess. “Chess-like” only involves capturing a king; Laser Chess is mostly about thinking multiple steps ahead of your opponent. There are five starting setup options shown in the rulebook, but you can also come up with your own. Players take turns moving mirrored playing pieces around the board. Each turn ends with the firing of a laser beam. If the beam strikes a non-mirrored surface of any piece, you must remove that piece from play. Hit your opponent’s king, and you win! Be careful. It is all too possible to leave yourself open to attack or inadvertently bounce the laser onto your own king. The lasers themselves are encased in two small orb-shaped tokens that fit onto the corners of the game grid. These can be rotated during gameplay to fire along either the long or short edge of the board. The actual laser beam isn’t visible during gameplay, just the spot where it hits. Laser Chess has received the following accolades: 2018 Parent Tested Parent Approved Top Pick MENSA SELECT Winner 2018 National Parenting Product (NAPPA) Award Parents’ Choice Silver Honor Award The Dice Tower Seal of Approval.

The Thinking Toolbox The Thinking Toolbox is destined to be one of those rare must-have books for all homes where thinking skills are prized. The same brothers who wrote the widely popular The Fallacy Detective have taken another intimidating topic and brought it down to earth. The Thinking Toolbox describes the different tools you can use for various thinking tasks to solve thinking problems. Written for students who want to learn logic and critical thinking skills, The Thinking Toolbox has lessons and exercises and an answer key in the back. Some of the lessons covered are When it is dumb to argue Using the scientific method Five rules of brainstorming Who has a reason to lie?

Bear Grylls Survival Camp

The Mystery of History: Volume I The Mystery of History: Vol I, 3rd Edition is all your family will need to teach history from ancient civilizations to the time of Christ. What appeals to us most about this program is its worldwide approach to history. Your family will learn that Rome was established less than ten years after Jonah's trial in a fish. The last book of the Old Testament was written at about the time of Alexander the Great. And that the Great Wall of China was built 200 years before the birth of Christ. Combines Biblical & Secular History As they read the Bible, Christians tend to forget that other civilizations were warring, struggling, and searching for truth. Therefore, this history program is written with combined Biblical and secular history. While decidedly Christian in bent, other cultures and faiths are presented with deference. The Mystery of History: Vol I is written in a conversational style for elementary through high school students. But it can also be used as a read-aloud with younger children. Multi-Age Activities Not just a textbook, Volume I includes a digital (as a download code) Companion Guide. This Companion Guide is brimming with multi-age activities, hands-on activities, and research projects for younger, middle, and older students. It also includes memory card ideas, bi-weekly quizzes, exercises, timeline helps; maps; supplemental book lists, etc. This option is particularly beneficial for families with younger students in elementary and middle grades. A print Companion Guide is also available separately for your family's convenience. 108 Lessons The Mystery of History was designed with a thirty-six-week school year in mind. Each week includes a pretest, three lessons, a review, and an exercise or quiz. Written for 4th- to 5th-grade reading level for independent reading. However, as a read-aloud, family study, or classroom program, The Mystery of History can accommodate grades 1-12. Is your family ready to study history in an in-depth, Bible-centered, chronological fashion? Then The Mystery of History is for you. From the Publisher: Volume I, in the words of the author: In Volume I of The Mystery of History, I cover world history from Creation to the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The text spans the incredible stories of ancient times, ancient lands, and ancient peoples. Where most ancient studies encompass only Egypt, Greece, and Rome, The Mystery of History goes much farther. In Volume I, I include chronologically based stories from all around the world, including Asia, North America, and the Holy Lands. Beginning with the Garden of Eden, stories will spread from Sumer and Babel to Troy, Phoenicia, and Assyria. The study of early civilizations will include King Wu of China and Asoka of India as well as King David, Julius Caesar, and Xerxes of Persia. Above all, a favorite feature of Volume I is the weaving of Bible history with world history. In reality, it is all world history. But for most of us, history has not been taught this way. It has not been integrated. In The Mystery of History, I have retold major stories from the Bible in the order that they happened alongside significant world history events and figures. As an example, Bible characters and world history figures living just decades apart include: Joshua and King Tut Daniel and Aesop Ezekiel and Buddha Nehemiah and Socrates and Cleopatra and Herod the Great. Imagine lining up such amazing figures on one master timeline! Imagine learning their stories back to back in the order they happened! For most of us, it’s an illuminating experience. Upgraded to a colorful hardback Student Reader, the Third Edition comes with a digital version of the Companion Guide through a one-time download code. (It’s inside the front cover. For those that prefer paper, a printed version of the Companion Guide is available as a separate purchase.) The Companion Guide is loaded with pretests, multi-age activities, timeline directions, mapping exercises, quizzes, reading lists, and more for an adjustable and enriching experience – no matter your method of education.

The Mystery of History Volume 1, 3rd Edition

World History Detective World History Detective rises above the simple read-and-regurgitate workbook questions by asking your student to discern which statements in a set of four are facts and which are opinions. Or he might be asked to determine which phrases can be inferred from the lesson or which sentences best support a particular theory. World History Detective is written for the young teen student looking for a no-frills, independent approach to learning ancient and medieval history. No mess, no preparation, and no stress. Just open the book and suss out the varied reasons why an event happened as it did. With today’s raging episodes of fake news, World History Detective’s types of questions will help your child to grasp that those telling the story always interpret history. Note: World History Detective includes occasional evolutionary assumptions, particularly in the few lessons about prehistory. Families will likely appreciate the non-dogmatic attitude in which these statements are presented. But as always, they will want to be prepared to dialogue with their students about these issues.

Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics Tell your child he will learn to build a smoke bomb and watch him enthusiastically reach for Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics. This title from the Young Explorer Series introduces your child to two breathtaking subjects that naturally lend themselves to a multitude of hands-on demonstrations that bring science to life. With this curriculum, your students will make a working periscope, explore physics with paper airplanes, manufacture a homemade electric motor, create the hugely popular smoke bomb, and much more. Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics is packed with full-color pictures and illustrations, oodles of fascinating "Try This!" experiments and integrated narration questions. It will gently but thoroughly prepare your children for the more rigorous classes they will need in high school. See our optional lab kit here. About the Young Explorer Series: Young Explorer Jeannie Fulbright's elementary science program is an in-depth science curriculum with gorgeous, full-color pictures and captivating, God-exalting text. It sparkles in comparison to the mainstream, dry-bones science program, and it utilizes what we believe is the most sensible method of teaching science, the immersion approach. Other science programs quickly become tedious with their yearly superficial overviews as children encounter the repetitiveness of topic matters. The Young Explorer science immersion program, will allow your family to enjoy the depth and riches that genuine science can give. Most home-taught children who enjoy science are taught with a science immersion program. This program utilizes a combination of the Charlotte Mason and classical methods. You can rely on each Young Explorer book to acknowledge the evidence of Creation, have easy-to-follow self-contained lessons, include hands-on activities, and support the National Standards of Science. Recommended for ages six through twelve, but written with a fourth-grader in mind, you may find that your older children will enjoy doing the coursework independently. At the same time, younger, less confident readers will prefer parental involvement. We encourage you to let your child choose the topic to study that captures your student's interest. Your student can use the Young Explorer titles in any order since each book's content stands alone. Because of the concept levels, the publisher suggests that Earth Science, Human Anatomy & Physiology, and Chemistry & Physics are better suited for upper elementary grades. However, younger students can certainly follow along and learn well if older siblings have progressed into these last three books. The Junior Notebooking Journals, for grades K-2, will allow them to absorb the concepts at their level. If you would like a convenient, time-saving way to get nearly all of the materials you will need for the experiments, we now offer a lab kit! This lab kit is assembled with virtually every non-household item the curriculum requires, so you won't have to search for elusive components. Features View Exploring Creation with Chemistry & Physics sample pages here (sample pages include Text & Notebooking Journal sample pages, Table of Contents, Supply List, and more). Though not required, a student journal is available separately and is the perfect complement to this textbook.

Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics Elementary

For use with Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics The Young Explorer Series is a favorite science program for young scientists and with good reason. The Charlotte Mason approach provides lots of information in a readable, engaging format. Lessons are designed to be spread over multiple weeks, with significant portions devoted to hands-on experiments and notebook keeping. Notebook keeping is simply a system for assisting your child in documenting what he has learned in each lesson. With this book, your child will write out the highlights of the lesson. If your child is young or doesn't enjoy writing, you can instead use the Junior version of the Notebooking Journal, available separately. Notebooking Journal will help your child think through what he has learned, distill it down to its most basic level, and communicate it effectively. If he can't reiterate it well, he probably doesn't grasp it. With 200 ready-to-use pages, as well as 64 pages of full-color supplements, the spiral-bound Chemistry and Physics Notebooking Journal includes: A daily Schedule for completing the readings, notebook assignments, activities, and experiments utilizing a two-day-per-week plan Fascinating facts templates for your student to record what he has learned with words and illustrations for each lesson. Templates for completing the Notebooking Activities Review questions for each lesson, which can be answered orally or as a written narration Scripture copywork, with both print and cursive practice--a valuable method for memorizing Scripture; teaching spelling, grammar, and writing; and handwriting practice Project pages and scientific speculation sheets for the student to record experiments or projects completed throughout the course Fly higher ideas for each lesson include additional activities, projects, experiments, books, or videos that correlate with the lesson Beautiful, full-color, lapbook-style Miniature Books, which the student may wish to create, encouraging him to record facts and information learned in each lesson. These are then placed on the Miniature Book Paste Page to display in his notebook Field trip sheets to record field trips he enjoyed during his studies A final review with fifty questions the student can answer, either orally or in writing, to show off what he knows about chemistry and physics at the end of the course Features View Exploring Creation with Chemistry & Physics sample pages here (sample pages include Text & Notebooking Journal sample pages, Table of Contents, Supply List, and more).

Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 7 Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 7 Student Textbook has 22 chapters. It introduces students to foundational scientific concepts and terminology. Presented clearly, Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 7 Student Textbook gives preteens a solid base to build a further study of science. This yearlong curriculum contains four chapters each of five scientific disciplines: chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy, an introduction to the material covered, and a concluding chapter, for 22 chapters. The many graphics in this full-color textbook reinforce the concepts presented and make the book fun for kids and teachers alike to read. Some of the topics covered are: chemistry—mixtures and separating mixtures organic chemistry polymers, and biological polymers biology—types of plants the chemistry of photosynthesis, and plant structure and reproduction physics—chemical energy, electrostatics, electrodynamics, and magnetism geology astronomy and so much more This Student Textbook is accompanied by Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 7 Laboratory Notebook and Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 7 Teacher's Manual. If you would like a convenient, time-saving way to get nearly all of the materials you will need for the experiments, we now offer a lab kit! 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. Pre-requisites: This is an advanced science text, and students should already be familiar with; The Periodic Table, The atom as a fundamental building block of matter Protons, neutrons, electrons, and electron bonding Chemical reactions Force, energy, work, inertia, momentum Taxonomy of living things The cell as a fundamental unit of life The basic structure of Earth The difference between stars and planets, the solar system, and galaxies. If your student is not familiar with these topics, please purchase Book 5 or Book 6, subjects before using this text. 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. 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.

Make your life easier, and save a ton of time by purchasing the lab supply kit that correlates to the experiments in Building Blocks of Science 7. The lab kit contains more than 50 items that will be harder to find to complete the experiments. You will still need to gather a few things from around the house, like a few standard office supplies, kitchen items, 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 items that you won't find in your home, so you'll need to pick those up if you choose to conduct those experiments or parts of experiments. 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.

Lab Kit for the Building Blocks of Science 7

Fischertechnik Profi Mechanic & Static 2 with Engineer Not all children aspire to a career as mechanical engineers. But every preteen should have a basic idea of how a manual transmission works, what a planetary gear is, and what design makes a bridge sturdy. While reading about mechanics may be less time-consuming, your student will remember more when he builds what he is studying. The 500-piece Fischertechnik Mechanic + Static 2 kit introduces your child to mechanics and structural design fundamentals. Using a progression of 30 helpful models - like a windshield wiper, elevating platform, crane, and bridges - to better understand pulleys, leverage, torque, and other such concepts, Mechanic + Static 2 brings book knowledge to life. Fischertechnik Mechanic + Static 2 comes with a wordless manual for building the 30 models. You can download an additional manual explaining the concepts in PDF format here. Includes the rare Fischertechnik action figure. About Fischertechnik For years Fischertechnik manufactured world-renowned components intended for engineering companies who built prototypes of factory installations. Those tabletop factory replicas realistically and cost-effectively allowed the engineers to plan, program, develop, and test industrial controls and debug their designs. They even train personnel who would operate the new equipment with these models. Because such tasks demanded precision, the Fischertechnik parts were fabricated with quality and realism. One Christmas (in 1964), Fischertechnik pulled together an assortment of its components and presented child-friendly modeling kits to engineers and industrial clients. The gifts were so popular that in 1965, Fischertechnik introduced its first building set in Germany. Over the years, institutions that promote pre-engineering courses for middle and high-school students have used Fischertechnik components in 1,300 schools across the states. Equally valuable in a homeschool curriculum, Fischertechnik allows children to learn technology using the most realistic parts currently available. Highly regarded by engineers, the ready-to-assemble, compact training models mimic real-life applications and are suitable for education, training, and industry.

Fischertechnik Profi Mechanic & Static 2 with Engineer

Draw Simply with Simply Draw Anyone can learn to draw. The question is: How hard do you want to make it on yourself? We review drawing programs on a regular basis, and absolutely none of them compares to Simply Draw. Book Plus Video Instruction Designed to teach drawing to children as young as eight through adult education classes, the lessons in Simply Draw with Bob Parsons are simple and come with clear, step-by-step explanations. Because each exercise introduces a new idea or adds to drawing concepts already introduced, Simply Draw is so basic that even those of us who despair of ever learning to draw can do so. Plus, there are almost three hours of additional video instruction included, making this the easiest drawing program available. Plenty of Open Space, High-Quality Paper Because everyone learns better with laughter, Bob Parsons, a father of six, includes humorous drawings and witty asides throughout Simply Draw. Plenty of open space and high-quality paper encourage drawing directly in the book, but with the provided PDF file on the DVD, you can print copies of the practice pages for the entire family and keep your book in pristine condition. Principles Gleaned from Drawing Textbook Simply Draw with Bob Parsons gleans a fair amount from the late Bruce McIntyre's Drawing Textbook, which was wildly popular with homeschoolers for dozens of years. Bob Parsons received permission from surviving family members of Bruce to use his teachings, so if you missed out on securing a copy of the Drawing Textbook while it was still available, you will be delighted to know those excellent principles are in Simply Draw. See a Difference in Virtually No Time Include Simply Draw in your homeschool day, and you will see a difference in your children's drawing skills in virtually no time. Simply Draw with Bob Parsons includes nearly 200 pages, close to three hours of DVD instruction, and a PDF document containing all the practice pages. The DVD is designed to play on a computer only. From the Author Discouragement comes quite often from the teacher. It is a frightening thought that one could be the means by which some child is discouraged from something as important as drawing. It is my goal to encourage the student to believe they can draw, through a simple and methodical process. And then to be able to draw and receive the benefits of a lifelong friend — drawing.

Test Prep: Grade 7 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.

Test Prep: Grade 7

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 7? Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 7 Student Textbook has 22 chapters and introduces students to foundational scientific concepts and terminology presented clearly and in a manner that’s easy for kids to understand, giving kids a solid base on which to build a further study of science. This yearlong curriculum contains four chapters each of five scientific disciplines: chemistry, biology, physics, geology, and astronomy, as well as an introduction to the material covered and a concluding chapter, for a total of 22 chapters. The many graphics in this full-color textbook reinforce the concepts presented and make the book fun for kids and teachers alike to read. Some of the topics covered are: chemistry—mixtures and separating mixtures, organic chemistry, polymers, and biological polymers; biology—types of plants, the chemistry of photosynthesis, and plant structure and reproduction; physics—chemical energy, electrostatics, electrodynamics, and magnetism; geology—the hydrosphere, cycles and ecology in the biosphere, the magnetosphere, and Earth as a system; astronomy—galaxies, the Milky Way Galaxy, and the birth and death of stars. This Student Textbook is accompanied by Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 7 Laboratory Notebook (experiments) and Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 7 Teacher’s Manual. Pre-requisites: This is an advanced science text and students should already be familiar with The Periodic Table, the atom as a fundamental building block of matter, protons, neutrons, electrons, electron bonding, chemical reactions, force, energy, work, inertia, momentum, taxonomy of living things, the cell as a fundamental unit of life, the basic structure of Earth, the difference between stars and planets, the solar system, and galaxies. If your student is not familiar with these topics, please purchase Book 5 or Book 6, or the Focus On Middle School individual subjects before using this text. Features The Laboratory Notebook guides your child through real data-driven, hands-on experiments.Pages: 264 Chapters: 22 Format: Softcover Size: 8.5" x 11"Publisher: Real Science-4-Kids Faith-Based: No

Fischertechnik E-Tronic Discover the world of electronics through real-life applications. Fischertechnik E-Tronic will have your teens building simple circuits, series and parallel circuits, and electronic switches with transistors, capacitors, resistors, and LEDs. Fischertechnik E-Tronic teaches basic principles of electronics through a step-by-step process. Fischertechnik E-Tronic will teach your teen how to construct various exciting models, beginning with the simple and continuing to the complex, from creating a working garage door to a marble run with exciting electronic components. The electronics module, a controller with 16 set programs, has two motor outputs, three analog inputs for sensors, and a potentiometer for controlling the speed of a motor. Fischertechnik E-Tronic will show your student how to install and control these components in different circuits and devices based on several models and practical examples. About Fischertechnik For years Fischertechnik manufactured world-renowned components intended for engineering companies who built prototypes of factory installations. Those tabletop factory replicas realistically and cost-effectively allowed the engineers to plan, program, develop, and test industrial controls and debug their designs. They even train personnel who would operate the new equipment with these models. Because such tasks demanded precision, the Fischertechnik parts were fabricated with quality and realism. One Christmas (in 1964), Fischertechnik pulled together an assortment of its components and presented child-friendly modeling kits to engineers and industrial clients. The gifts were so popular that in 1965, Fischertechnik introduced its first building set in Germany. Over the years, institutions that promote pre-engineering courses for middle and high-school students have used Fischertechnik components in 1,300 schools across the states. Equally valuable in a homeschool curriculum, Fischertechnik allows children to learn technology using the most realistic parts currently available. Highly regarded by engineers, the ready-to-assemble, compact training models mimic real-life applications and are suitable for education, training, and industry. Engineered to scientific precision and manufactured using high-strength nylon, plastic, and steel, the unique design of these components results in the most durable and reliable connections. The versatile Fischertechnik basic building block is the basis for all Fischertechnik construction sets. This block's channel-and-groove design allows your engineer to add parts and build on all six sides. All Fischertechnik construction kits are compatible. Comprehensive, easy-to-understand assembly instructions are included in every construction set. Features Parts List PDF Manufacturer: Fischertechnik Models: 30 Manufacturer's Recommended Age Range: 9+ Pieces: 500 Made In: Germany Faith-Based: No CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts.
