Product Description

▼▲

In this study of Physical Science, you'll be introduced to the stunning world you live in, as well as the universe around it. From the composition of air to icebergs to astrophysics, you will receive thorough lessons in each element of the physical world. Sixteen modules are included, that are designed to be completed in a total of 32 weeks time, though the course can be adjusted to your own needs. "On your own" questions throughout the text are designed to help cement concepts, while "Study Guide" questions prepare for tests. All information that must be memorized is centered and in bold text, and all definitions and important terms are also bolded. Experiments using only household equipment, graphics, illustrations, charts and other visual representation of various concepts are also included for maximum clarity.

This second edition is newly updated, with more color illustrations and higher-quality drawings. Fuller responses to student questions; easy-to-perform (and more engaging!) experiments; in-text graphics for online resources; additional material for advanced learners; and an extra test booklet (sold separately) are also new improvements. Topics include the atmosphere; hydrosphere; weather; structure of Earth; environmentalism; physics of motion; Newton's laws; gravity; and astrophysics. 510 pages, hardcover. Due to these changes, editions should not be mixed. Grade 8, but may be used with younger/older students as parents decide.

This Kit Includes:

Student Textbook, 510 pages, hardcover

Solutions & Test Book, 168 pages, softcover.

My kids loved this curriculum and it is very interesting to read.Also they learn soo much -I was impressed.If you have a child that doesn't like to read,then this might be more challenging to them.I just bought the audiobook on cd that goes with it for my nonreader.It costs extra but is worth it.

I just wanted to share that this book really is for an average 8th grader or non- science- minded 9th grader. If your student is not planning on majoring in Science or Math fields in college, this can count as your 9th grade/physical Science course. (Otherwise they should go straight to Biology) I think the target range is 8th grade. It would only be suitable for VERY Science minded, academic 7th graders who use textbooks well and absorb info very well. The text is conversational, to a fault. There are more words than necessary, and sometimes a simple chart or pictograph would have conveyed more meaning. My older child (very academic, methodical, careful reader and loves Science in every form) thrives with Apologia. My other child (very smart, clever, quick, a speed reader, not much into Science) absolutely hates this book.

Get this Science book and you won't regret it! For a subject like Physical Science, only a few books could make me enjoy it, and this was one. I could never wait to get to my Science work! It was full of great experiments and fun facts. Colorful, friendly, and conversational, the book gets an A+! Will definitely be using this curriculum for a 3rd time!!
