The 5th edition of Auto Upkeep is definitely a keeper! With 1100 colorful illustrations and up-to-date information on electric and Next-Generation vehicles & emerging technology systems, this elective provides everything you need to know about owning and maintaining an automobile. Students learn the pros and cons of different vehicle types (and tips on wisely choosing a car!) as well as essential information on car loans, car maintenance, gas prices, insurance, and more – helping them accurately budget. Additional chapters cover the major automotive systems in an easy-to-understand format with helpful illustrations, full-color photos, web links, an introduction to car-related careers, hands-on activities, and a chapter summary. This course provides 1 elective credit (for a full year) but can be tailored to a ½ credit (1 semester) by reducing the number of activities completed. Makes an excellent introduction to automotive mechanics or a practical life skill for all teens. This is the class I wish I had in high school! The Auto Upkeep Homeschool Curriculum Kit includes the Textbook, Workbook, and Instructor Guide.
