The Sassafras Science Adventures Physics Set includes the three core books for the course: Sassafras Guide to Physics Reader, Sassafras Student SCIDAT Logbook, and the Sassafras Guide to Physics. Sassafras Science Adventures Volume 8: Physics is an engaging, fun read for elementary to middle school age learners. The Reader weaves together science and story in a way that is relatable, as relatable as one can be as the imagination joins the twins on an invisible zip line that propels them to different locations across the world in the pursuit of physics! Hang on as the adventure zips and zags from Uncle Cecil’s neighborhood into Papua New Guinea, then to Montana, Brazil, Greenland, Spain, South Africa, Cambodia, Mexico, and back home again!

Teaching Method
Traditional
Teacher-centered curriculum commonly used in classrooms that may include a text, teacher manual, tests, etc.
Charlotte Mason
A methodology based on the work of a 19th century educator who maintained that children learn best from literature (Living Books), not textbooks.
Classical
A methodology based on the Latin Trivium (three stages of learning), including the grammar stage (memorization and facts), logic stage (critical thinking), and rhetoric stage (developing/defending ideas).
Unit Study
A thematic or topical approach centered around one topic that integrates multiple subject areas.
Montessori (Discovery)
A methodology based on the work of a 20th century educator that emphasizes student and sensory-driven discovery learning and real-life applications.
Other

Category Description for Elemental Science
Elemental Science is designed as a Classical science program and may also appeal to Charlotte Mason educators. Targeting PK-9, each course provides a framework of study, notebooking activities, and memorization. The text and experiments for the series are found in quality resource books including DK, Usborne, Kingfisher and similar publishers. Each level is made up of a Teacher’s Guide and a Student Workbook (or Diary for PK-1), with several additional resources also being required. Written to be religiously neutral, the origins of life and earth are not studied in-depth, although several of the resource books may reference the Big Bang Theory and/or millions of years.
Teacher Guides contain lesson plans, material and book lists, teacher helps and forms. Student Workbooks contain worksheet pages, narration, journal and experiment forms, and more. Courses contain 36 weeks of study with one or more suggested scheduling options. Written for ages 4-6, Intro to Science provides younger learners an introduction to chemistry, biology, geology, meteorology, botany and zoology. Structured similarly to the Grammar Stage courses, this simplified course emphasizes reading excellent books, observation skills, nature studies, hands-on activities, and coloring.
At the Grammar and Logic Stages in the Elemental Science Classical Science Series, students spend one year on each of the branches of Science: Biology, Earth Science, Chemistry, or Physics. Grammar Stage work involves observation, experiments, teacher demonstrations, memorization, notebooking, and reading the selected resource books. At the Logic Stage, assignments include experiments, vocabulary, memory work, sketching, and narration. Also available, the Elemental Science: Physical Science covers traditional middle school topics using a printed guide, a free online textbook and teacher guide (CK-12 Physical Science), and online labs. Please note, according to the publisher, the hands-on experiments used in Physical Science are the same as those found in the Elemental Science Classical Science series. Students completing Biology for the Logic Stage and Chemistry for the Logic Stage are ready for a high school level Biology course.
Also from Elemental Science, Science Chunks, is a survey of science for grades 1-6. Each year (3 are available) provides 36 lessons (one per week) that uses quality, visually appealing science encyclopedias, hands-on activities, and notebook activities. Science Chunks offers a highly flexible way for families to learn science together.
