Geology Lifepac Select Set
This set from Alpha Omega includes individual Lifepac workbooks from the Science series. Different grade levels and units that cover the topics needed for a Geology course were individually selected to assemble this set. The five science Lifepacs included are: Grade 7, Unit 5; Grade 7, Unit 7; Grade 9, Unit 3; Grade 9, Unit 4; and Grade 9, Unit 8. The Lifepacs are the same ones included in the grade-level sets of Science Lifepacs, but they are compiled in this set to focus on Geology. A teacher’s guide is included with the five workbooks, which includes an answer key for each Lifepac, as well as an alternative test. The teacher’s guide states that completing this set earns junior high or high school students a half credit in Geology.
LIFEPAC Select Geology is a topical, one-semester elective that takes an in-depth look at the fascinating world of geology. Using LIFEPAC worktexts taken from core subjects, this thematic course for grades 7-12 includes five worktexts with consistent reviews to ensure concept mastery, along with an informative teacher's guide filled with teaching ideas, learning activities, material lists, and answer keys. This course studies Christ-centered content that covers Earth's structures and movements, fossils, relative and absolute time, oceanography, biological and chemical properties, atmospheric structure, pollution, and climates around the world.

Items listed in this section tend to be complete science programs with a teacher and student component, requiring few supplements besides science supplies.
LIFEPAC worktexts provide a complete, year-long science curriculum for each grade. From a Christian publisher, the approach is systematic mastery learning. It's very easy to teach from, with no need to write out lesson plans or prepare materials. You will have to gather equipment and materials for science experiments, however. Each grade contains 10 small consumable worktexts which the students progress through at their own pace. Each unit includes vocabulary, text, and comprehension questions to assure students retain the material. The science series is more activity-oriented than AOP's other subject LIFEPACs, with plenty of experiments to help illustrate science concepts. Grades 1-10 worktexts contain colorful illustrations; grades 11-12 are only available in black and white. Complete Boxed Sets also include a Teacher's Guide with teaching tips and answer keys. Sets of LIFEPACS only (no Teacher's Guides) are also available at each level for additional students.

Alpha Omega is in the process of updating the covers on the LIFEPACs. It is only a cosmetic change; the LIFEPAC content has not been modified. While they are transitioning to the new covers, please be aware that you may receive a mix of LIFEPACS with old and new covers in a set.
These themed LIFEPAC sets are made up of individual LIFEPACS from different grade level sets. Together, they create a focused course on one topic area. According to the teacher's guide, each course is worth a 1/2 credit. Each set includes five LIFEPACS and a teacher's guide (includes an answer key and an alternative test).
