Publisher's Description of Science 7 Lifepac - Unit 3 Worktext

Mankind has always gazed heavenward and pondered the mystery of the universe. Where does it begin and end? How does our earth fit into the scheme of things? When and how did ancient man's perspective on the heavens begin to change? The LIFEPAC 7th Grade Science Unit 3 Worktext from Alpha Omega Publications answers these and other questions for your seventh grader. In clear, easy-to-decipher prose, with thought-provoking questions to test your child's comprehension, this third in a series of ten worktexts explains the history of stargazing, from the magi to Copernicus, the geocentric theory, and the tools of the modern astronomer.

In addition to text-based instruction, this self-paced Alpha Omega curriculum includes colorful illustrations, thought-provoking comprehension exercises, regular self tests, and a teacher-administered unit test—all designed to encourage mastery of lesson content. And because each LIFEPAC worktext can be completed in as little as three to four weeks, your student will experience a sense of accomplishment with the completion of each one.

Category Description for Alpha Omega Science

LIFEPAC worktexts provide a complete, year-long science curriculum for each grade. From a Christian publisher, the approach is systematic mastery learning. It's very easy to teach from, with no need to write out lesson plans or prepare materials. You will have to gather equipment and materials for science experiments, however. Each grade contains 10 small consumable worktexts which the students progress through at their own pace. Each unit includes vocabulary, text, and comprehension questions to assure students retain the material. The science series is more activity-oriented than AOP's other subject LIFEPACs, with plenty of experiments to help illustrate science concepts. Grades 1-10 worktexts contain colorful illustrations; grades 11-12 are only available in black and white. Complete Boxed Sets also include a Teacher's Guide with teaching tips and answer keys. Sets of LIFEPACS only (no Teacher's Guides) are also available at each level for additional students.
