Each Teacher Guide provides a full year of study and covers two Investigate the Possibilities courses.These may be used alongside the Textbook/Student Journal Teacher Guides and are not considered a replacement.
The Elementary General Science and Astronomy Teacher Guide accompanies Water & Weather and The Universe; the Chemistry & Physics Teacher Guide corresponds to Matter and Energy; and the Physical & Earth Science Teacher Guide covers The Earth and Forces & Motion.
If you just need a little more scheduling and assessment help to make this comprehensive course even more full-bodied and structured, these inexpensive, optional books will do the trick. Guides are available individually or in a package with the other required resources.
