Category Description for Calvert Science
Calvert Science focuses on developing observation skills while studying the physical world around us. The prep work for the teacher is already done and students work independently to master material before moving on. More teacher involvement is necessary in younger grades. Each grade level consists of 10 colorful unit worktexts with 3 lessons per text. A single workbook is designed to take three to four weeks to complete, allowing for instruction, review, and testing. This equates to about 150–180 lessons, depending on the student. Each lesson will take about 45 minutes to complete. The instructional material is written directly into the worktexts for the student, and each lesson will cover scientific vocabulary, critical thinking, observation, and comprehension skills. Students will be encouraged to do independent research using dictionaries and encyclopedias. Activities and observable experiments are found throughout each unit and utilize common household or backyard items. Each unit will have lesson self-tests and an overall unit test to continually monitor and assess students’ comprehension. These should be removed and set aside before giving the workbooks to the student. A full-course Teacher’s Guide includes a science project list, suggested and required material supplies, additional learning activities, answer keys, and alternative tests. The answer keys are number-coded for easy reference to what section it came from. Grade 1 Teacher has Part 1 and Part 2 Teacher Guide.
