Publisher's Description of Physics for the Logic Stage Teacher's Guide 2nd Edition
Required for
Physics for the Logic Stage, the Teacher Guide contains a quick start
guide, materials list, the student assignments, comprehension questions, tests,
answers, and the 2-day and 5-day schedule options to help you plan out the
year. Reproducible for purchasing family only.
Physics
for the Logic Stage
from Elemental Science takes middle school students into a deeper study of basic
physics and its concepts including thermodynamics, mechanical waves, and
electromagnet waves. Applications of physics concludes the year with a look at
electricity, engineering and robotics, and nuclear physics. Rather than using a
dry, uninspiring textbook, Physics for the Logic Stage uses visually appealing
and engaging books, hands-on activities, and organized notebooking activities
to provide the learning framework. Independent student learning is the goal,
with parents guiding lessons rather than doing any direct teaching. The course
is 36 weeks, with the option of either a 2 Day or 5 Day/week schedule laid out
in the Teacher Guide. Physics for the Logic Stage Teacher Guide also includes the student
assignments sheets, helpful tips to lead your student through the program,
comprehension questions, unit tests, and answers for the student's work. The Physics for the Logic Stage Student Guide offers all the consumable student
pages and assignments. Both Guides are required along with Spine Resources.
Please note, the Usborne Illustrated Dictionary of Science is currently
out of print. It may be available in the used marketplace or through the
library system. Optional resources are included to enrich learning.
