Publisher's Description of Science 11 Lifepac - Unit 4 Worktext
Does your teen understand the theory of modern atomic structure? Can he explain nuclear reactions and the periodicity of atomic structure? If not, Alpha Omega Publications has a science resource that can teach him these chemistry concepts and more: the LIFEPAC Chemistry Unit 4 Worktext. Engaging lessons in this 4th in a series of 10 worktexts are student directed and self-paced, allowing your independent learner to move through the Unit 4 worktext at a speed that is comfortable for him—usually three to four weeks. What's more, reviews and self tests are strategically placed throughout this homeschool curriculum to reinforce and solidify your student's comprehension and retention.
Another big advantage to the LIFEPAC Chemistry Unit 4 Worktext is its ultra-slim size and portability. Easy to handle, this Alpha Omega curriculum is great for independent learners studying on the go. What's more, there's plenty of room in this manageable worktext to write down notes, observations, deductions, and questions to make studying and reviewing chemistry a cinch.
