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.
