The advanced version adds two lessons per week to the standard version’s lessons (included in this course) totaling five lessons each week. These additional lessons cover topics that are more involved and lay a solid foundation for future science courses as well. The follow up questions are designed to reinforce both
comprehension and problem solving skills.
Projects & Experiments
Along with the seven standard version projects, this course adds three more projects designed to further challenge and complete the student’s physical science education. Students not only follow the scientific method when conducting their experiments, but they also learn and follow the steps involved in an accurate
lab write up.
Exams
In addition to the vocabulary quizzes found in the standard version, the advanced version includes four quarter exams. Also included are study guides specifically designed to teach the student how to prepare
for the exam.
Student logbook & Teacher’s Manual
The advanced version student logbook is used to record answers to questions, scientific data, and lab write-ups. Each page is laid out to easily facilitate accurate and clear records of the experiments, resulting in a complete portfolio of the student’s work. It also includes an index/glossary. The teacher’s manual
has assessment pages, answer key, and unit exams.
