The complete curriculum package includes the book, the workbook, and a Homeschool Resource USB Flash Drive. The workbook, which is also available separately, corresponds closely with the text and includes objectives, a summary of the chapter, terms for research, study questions, related activities, and questions on the activities. Please note that some activities require internet research. The workbook is not reproducible, so you will want to purchase extra copies for each student taking the course, or advise them to write on a separate paper. The Homeschool Resource USB Flash Drive would be extremely helpful for the teacher and contains a course syllabus, PowerPoint presentation, lab activities, printable study questions, study question answer keys, chapter tests, exams, and answer keys for tests and exams.
