Physical Science Printed Guide

Description

Formatted differently than the Grammar and Logic Stage programs, success with Physical Science requires the guidebook, online access for the free digital textbook, lab supplies or the online lab component (additional cost), and a notebook or composition book to create a Science Notebook. Topically, students will complete a scientist study, learn about scientific research, matter, atoms, the periodic table, chemical bonding and reactions, carbon, nuclear chemistry, forces and motion, energy, electromagnetic radiation, electricity, magnetism and electromagnetism and complete a science fair project.

The printed Guide includes teaching information and how to use introductory notes, textbook assignments, experiment information (hands-on or digital option), suggestions to incorporate current events, reproducible forms, lessons, and schedules for two different courses: hands-on labs and digital labs. There is a link to the free online secular textbook from CK-12, and the publisher offers a resource page with a link to the Textbook as well as links to the Teacher Edition, Quizzes and Tests, a Student Workbook, and other supportive resources. The course is designed to be completed independently with parental assistance as needed. Students will need to spend 4-5 hours per week in study to complete the course in one year.

Publisher's Description of Physical Science Printed Guide

The Physical Science guide lays out two distinct one-credit physical science courses. This self-guided program contains plans for:

Textbook assignments from CK12 Physical Science. Each week includes reading selections, vocabulary terms, and comprehension questions. (Note - CK12 is a standard textbook from a secular perspective that is available for free online.)

Weekly experiment options: one option gives directions for hands-on experiments and one option lays out plans for online labs with Beyond Labz. You can see tutorials and demos of these online labs on the Beyond Labz YouTube Channel. (Note - Both of these options are separate purchases.)

Two scheduling options: a standard hands-on lab science course and a digital, virtual lab science course. In other words, you can choose which option best suits your student's needs.

Plus, there are events in science assignments and optional hands-on science activities.

Physical Science makes it easy for your student to learn about physical science.
