SOS 8th Grade General Science 2 from Rainbow Resource on Vimeo.
Want a fun, easy-to-follow science course to teach your child? We have just what you need—Switched-On Schoolhouse 8th Grade Science from Alpha Omega Publications. This award-winning, computer-based homeschool course will introduce your child to the basics of physical science with motivating, appealing content. Must-have lessons are filled with cutting-edge multimedia tools—like video clips, learning games, and a handy text-to-speech feature! Now, you definitely can't get that in a traditional, one-dimensional science textbook.
But we don't stop there. Comprehensive and engaging, this science course covers topics such as matter, health, energy, and machines. Science projects and experiments are included in this Alpha Omega curriculum to give your child a well-rounded learning experience. Plus, to help parents lessen the load of endless paperwork, Switched-On Schoolhouse comes with automatic grading and lesson planning, a built-in calendar, and customizable curriculum lessons.
LIFEPAC worktexts provide a complete, year-long science curriculum for each grade. From a Christian publisher, the approach is systematic mastery learning. It's very easy to teach from, with no need to write out lesson plans or prepare materials. You will have to gather equipment and materials for science experiments, however. Each grade contains 10 small consumable worktexts which the students progress through at their own pace. Each unit includes vocabulary, text, and comprehension questions to assure students retain the material. The science series is more activity-oriented than AOP's other subject LIFEPACs, with plenty of experiments to help illustrate science concepts. Grades 1-10 worktexts contain colorful illustrations; grades 11-12 are only available in black and white. Complete Boxed Sets also include a Teacher's Guide with teaching tips and answer keys. Sets of LIFEPACS only (no Teacher's Guides) are also available at each level for additional students.
