This schedule of daily lesson plans is designed to be used alongside Apologia's Exploring Creation with Biology, Third Edition curriculum (sold separately). Arranged by lesson, each day's work is laid out for the student with page numbers, problems, study guide question numbers, as well as details regarding when to begin studying, when to take tests, and when to complete experiments noted. Printed-paper; stapled in corner. ~Amber
These daily instructions were written to aid my own children as we used the Apologia courses. During our first year, we weren't sure how much to read daily to complete the book by year's end. You can't simply divide the number of pages by school days because of the experiments, study guides, tests, etc. We also had too many days of labs with no supplies on hand. These lesson plans will direct your student as to exactly what needs to be done each day and will provide reminders of needed lab supplies in advance. Using these guides, it takes 105-170 days to complete a text, depending upon the level and course.
If you're looking to shave some time off of your lesson planning, consider these ready-made lessons plans. Written by Lynn Ericson, a homeschooling mother, they were intended to aid her own children in using the courses after numerous days of not having necessary supplies, being unavailable to direct reading at the needed moment, etc. She breaks down the modules of the Apologia courses and provides instructions on what to do each day to finish the modules in an educational and time-efficient manner. Takes the guesswork out of scheduling! ~ Rachel S.
