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.

Category Description for Kitbook
Student or teacher led, this inquiry-based, self-contained study is well designed, with just-enough clear diagrams and straightforward information or directions—kids really learn and apply the concepts. With the Electric Circuits kit, a self-directed child will learn a lot with some adult supervision. Each of the eight chapters attached to the kit define terms, focus on a specific topic, and provide at least one activity to practice and learn. Start with electricity and kit safety. Learn about simple series and parallel circuits, batteries, conductors, insulators, switches, and electromagnetism. The kit book is attached to the storage box which closes with the attached circuit board cover. Each kit contains 1 AA battery, 2 jumper wires, 2 lamps, motor, buzzer, color wheel, push switch, slide switch 16P nail, 4 ft wire, compass penny, brass screw, craft stick, string, straw, rubber band and 12 paper clips. Safety Rules are printed in large font on the kit opening, so kids will be reminded at each use. For a unit study option, add the 78-page Teacher kit, which includes a wrap-around of the reduced student text. The teacher text provides explanation, directions, answers to student questions, and student chapter challenges to photocopy. Kit contents are identical to the student kit. To round out the unit, a 19-page, small format Student Workbook provides brief short-answer and multiple-choice review questions with answers and key definitions.Correlates with National Science Education Standards (identified at the beginning of each chapter in Teacher Edition). ~ Ruth
