Introduces scientific equipment, how to conduct an experiment, and how to be safe in the lab. Students learn to classify the plant and animal kingdom and to identify life. Students learn cell structure and cell parts and the different jobs of the cell. They study the human body and how it works including the skeletal system, the heart, the respiratory system, the nervous system and the anatomy of the eye. Asexual and sexual reproduction is studied. Students study genetics, cloning, evolution, and the origin of life. Through topic and project research a sample project is created and presented. Students are encouraged to be inquisitive and analytical. A lifelong interest in science is built with field trips and real world experiences. Review copy did not include lab experiment samples, we will be updating information on our website when received, please see website or call for more information. The lab activities primarily use commonly found items. Contact us for a complete listing. You will need to supply a dissection tray and scissors.

Starline Press Science is a character-based, state standards aligned, individualized and independent learning curriculum. Each grade level provides self-directed instruction with minimal teacher supervision. Grades 3-8 complete twelve units (booklets) per year, with a suggested 3-week completion timeframe per booklet. Grades 9-11 complete 10 booklets per year. Each grade level incorporates vocabulary lists, fill in the blank questions, chapter reviews, unit review/tests, and labs at most levels. Consumable worktexts are colorfully illustrated soft covers, although newer printings are more like booklets and do not have the perfect binding and glossy covers. Please see publisher website for CA state standards correlation. Available only in complete sets with answer/test keys. ~ Deanne
Needed a secular/religious neutral science curriculum that would work well for my busy schedule with my child.
I needed a self- directed type of curriculum. I had use ACE in 8th grade and wanted something similar, but with a broader scope.
