Mixed By Me - Glow Thinking Putty Kit

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.

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

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. Features Inside the book: Step-by-step illustrations Systematic progression Room to draw in the book Includes section on hand lettering On the DVD: Video demonstrations PDF file of practice pages Publisher's Information Author: Bob Parsons Pages: 200 Binding: 3-hole punched, ready for binder (not included) Copyright: 2010 ISBN: 9781616583378 Publisher: Bob Parsons Made In: USA Consumable: Yes Reproducible: Printable PDF file included on DVD Faith-Based: No

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.

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 backward 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 in shipment or daily life, so we 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?

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 <a href="https://timberdoodle.mathusee.com/" target="new">placement test here</a>. <meta content="uuidtM0x5zZV7qlh" name="uuid"><meta charset="utf-8">
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 backward 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 in shipment or daily life, so we 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.

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

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.

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.

Lab Kit for Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 7 Have you ever used Building Blocks of Science and wished you had a prebuilt lab kit with all of 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 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.

Lab Kit for Exploring the Building Blocks of Science Book 7
Have you ever used Building Blocks of Science and wished you had a prebuilt lab kit with all of 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-7" class="editor-rtfLink" data-mce-fragment="1" data-mce-href="https://timberdoodle.com/products/building-blocks-of-science-7" target="_blank">Building Blocks of Science 7</a>.
 
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

Grazing Sheep Needle Felting Kit Deluxe with Foam Mat Needle felting is like painting with wool, but the paint is wool roving (a long and narrow bundle of wool fiber), and the brush is a sharp barbed needle. When a felting needle is stabbed through wool, the tiny, single-direction barbs pull in the wool, attaching it to the linen fabric. A reusable foam mat serves as a work surface, so your student can spare your table or his leg as he stabs the needle through the wool and fabric. The comfortable suede leather finger guards add another safety level for your child as he adds details, texture, and depth to his felt art. An absorbing and beginner-friendly craft, Grazing Sheep Needle Felting Kit Deluxe comes with everything your child needs to create a tranquil work of art. Features Felting time: 3-4 hrs. depending on individual felting speed. The Grazing Sheep Deluxe Kit is beautifully packaged and includes: Beginner's Guide to Needle Felting (a bit of general information) Instruction Sheet with pictures of every step Link to video instructions (highly recommended!) Two color-coded felting needles in a handy paper tube Three types of felting wool Linen fabric backing High-quality 7-inch wooden hoop Foam mat Suede leather finger guards You will also need: Scissors Glue to secure the picture in the hoop once it is finished. This kit is intended for adults and children over the age of ten who possess good manual dexterity, hand-eye coordination, and the ability to work with focus and care. (Caution - felting needles are sharp!)

Grazing Sheep Needle Felting Kit Deluxe with Foam Mat

Student Workbook for Science in the Atomic Age The Science in the Atomic Age Student Workbook is a convenient companion to the Science in the Atomic Age text for busy families. The Student Workbook is not required; plain paper or any ordinary notebook will suffice. However, the layout of the Student Workbook is conveniently designed for middle school students using Science in the Atomic Age. It provides space for the student to answer each day's comprehension check questions, followed by the weekly review questions. The author expects students to document their labs using a friendly, straightforward, and practical method. To this end, more than half of the spiralbound Student Workbook consists of plain, unlined paper, ready for your student to fill in with records of his experiments. The Science in the Atomic Age Student Workbook is a helpful resource for middle school students to keep their lesson and lab documentation organized. 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.

Student Workbook for Science in the Atomic Age

Lab Kit for Science in the Atomic Age This Science in the Atomic Age Lab Kit helps students learn all about the intricate and fascinating world of cells, tissues, and organs. Once these concepts have been established, students will dive into an exploration of how cells come together to create tissues, how tissues come together to create organs, and how organs come together to create organ systems. Your student's knowledge will be further expanded as they discover how organ systems are able to produce organisms, and how these organisms relate directly to population and communities. About Science in the Atomic AgeThe fifth book in the Berean Science series, Science in the Atomic Age covers a broad range of topics exciting to students of all ages, particularly preteens and early teens. Beginning with our current understanding of atoms and then transitioning to a full-blown study of life, all topics in Science in the Atomic Age are discussed in the context of history. From atoms to organs and human life, and from communities to ecosystems, your child will learn about fascinating scientific breakthroughs. These include identifying the human appendix's function and the discovery of soft tissue in dinosaur fossils. Your student will also learn science in connection with historical developments and key scientists. The Science in the Atomic Age Set includes the text as well as the slim Answer Key & Tests book. Answer Key & Tests for Science in the Atomic Age contains answers for the review exercises in the text, as well as hints to make checking, correcting, and explaining the students’ work easier. And while the author suggests that testing is unnecessary for most families, he includes tests and test solutions for families who do find it beneficial.
