Curriculum
Real Science 4 Kids Chemistry Level 2 (High School - I used in jr high) complete set Teacher’s Manual, Textbook and Laboratory Book excellent condition. $100ppd with insurance ($147 on the website)
I used this book in junior high for my kids – it gave them a great understanding of concepts – it was perfect to use before Apologia Chemistry – they understood the concepts before they had to add the math! Introduces high school students to college-level chemistry concepts and covers in depth: atomic and molecular bonding, orbitals, hybrid orbitals, chemical reactions, balancing chemical equations; acid-base chemistry, carbon chemistry; polymer reactions; protein primary, secondary, and tertiary structure; DNA structure; and much more. It goes into more depth than a regular high school text, but does not cover every topic. This is a one semester program and counts as 0.5 of a high school credit. The Laboratory Workbook contains ten hands-on experiments that incorporate the chemistry concepts found in the textbook. Experiments include modeling molecules and bonding, exploring acids and bases and neutralizaion reactions, separating mixtures, extracting DNA, and more. A Teacher's Manual is recommended for the laboratory experiments.
Real Science 4 Kids Chemistry Level 2 set Textbook and Laboratory Book (no teacher’s manual, but it is available for only $27. The textbook is the really expensive part of this curriculum - $99!.) $85ppd
Science Scope by Kathryn Stout Teaching Science K-12 From Cathy Duffy Reviews: Even if you are willing to abandon the textbook approach, many homeschoolers feel insecure determining at what level their child should be working on a science topic. Does making a model of the body systems equally satisfy learning needs of both a seven-year-old and a fifteen-year-old? Probably not. Kathryn Stout's Science Scope helps you identify appropriate activities for different age groups within each science area. This is an extremely useful resource. Divided into four main areas—general science, life science, earth science, and physical science—it takes specific topics under each heading, then suggests methods to use with students at primary, intermediate, junior, and senior high levels. It offers more detail than does Teaching Science and Having Fun!. Science Scope also makes it easy to select appropriate resources for whatever topic is chosen for study. one crease in cover (I dropped a stack of books!) otherwise new $7
Bright Ideas Press: The Scientist’s Apprentice by Hilary Welliver, New except for back cover crease when I dropped it to list it: This exciting, complete one-year science curriculum is presented in an easily understandable manner and is just as easy to use. Introductory information for the teacher provides guidance. Experiments, games, crafts, recipes, writing, songs and more are used to reach different learning styles. Orderly thinking skills (based on the scientific method) are reinforced throughout. Use the recommended student notebook approach as you spend eight weeks on each of four topics: Astronomy, Anatomy, Earth Science, Oceanography. Reproducible pages and a pleasing layout make this a practical choice for busy homeschooling moms. Teach multi-grade levels at the same time. More interesting than a text and easier than creating your own study, the work’s been done for you! Pbk. 200 pages. One year. K-4th $16
Ellen McHenry: The Brain: An introduction to neurology for grades 4-8. Reproducible student booklet, purchased and printed this copy only from website. Very self-explanatory and fun. Topics covered in student text: History of brain research, basic anatomy of the brain, blood-brain barrier, roles of left and right hemispheres, savant syndrome, neurons, other types of brain cells (the unsung heroes!), how nerve impulses travel, neuron networks, learning and memory, the peripheral nervous system, reflexes, sleep, brain doctors, basic brain problems. Great activities too! Really fun. I copied pages I wanted the kids to write on for their notebooks. If you want the brain song, it costs .99 to download on her site. *I am only selling the one copy that I paid for* $10
Ellen McHenry: The Elements: An introduction Target audience: ages 8-13 . Reproducible student booklet, purchased and printed this copy only from website. Very self-explanatory and fun. Description: A basic introduction to the fundamental concepts of chemistry (see “Topics covered” below) but with the interest level of the text and activities geared to students who still like to play while they learn. The student text combines very “meaty” content with whimsical humor, and the teacher’s section has lots of activities, games, songs, crafts, etc. All of these activities provide high-quality learning– they are not “fluff.” The overall theme of the curriculum is cooking and recipes, using cooking to explain chemistry concepts. The curriculum is intended to prepare students for high school chemistry. Topics covered: The definition of an element, the structure of an atom, the invention of the Periodic Table by Mendeleyev, chemical formulas, electron orbitals and shells, the octet rule, arrangement of elements on the Periodic Table, atomic bonding (covalent, ionic and metallic), plus an up-close look at the families on the table: alkali metals, alkali earth metals, transition metals, true metals, non-metals, halogens, noble gases, and lanthanides and actinides. Great activities too! Really fun. I copied pages I wanted the kids to write on for their notebooks. If you want the brain song, it costs .99 to download on her site. *I am only selling the one copy that I paid for* $10
