Description
This is the complete DVD set for Introductory Science. This course will work best with your visual/auditory learner. With no text, students will need to remember what they heard or saw in the video lesson. They may need to go back and watch the lesson again. Each video lesson is a gentleman sitting at a desk (like a news anchor) talking about the concept of that day's lesson. Pictures and illustrations show up behind or next to him as he speaks. Vocabulary words are flashed on the screen in front of him and some of the graphics are then enlarged to fill the screen as he talks about them. There is very little parent prep, and this course provides a nice alternative for the visual learner.
Publisher's Description of Science Shepherd Introductory Science DVD Set
