Description
If you are looking for a one semester elective for your high school student or want to make sure your student has a good foundation in home economics, this is a very practical course. While it is written for grades 11 and 12, it could easily be used to teach 9th or 10th grade students.
The Family and Consumer Sciences text and Family and Consumer Sciences Lab Manual are the key components necessary for student learning. The Family Consumer Sciences Quizzes and Tests can be used to evaluate how well the student is retaining the "what" and "why" of the text material. The quizzes and tests are intended to comprise most of the student grade, with the projects assigned from the Family and Consumer Science Teacher Guide and the evaluation sheets from the Family and Consumer Sciences Lab Manual making the rest. The Family Consumer Sciences Quizzes and Tests Answer Key contains the answers for grading the quizzes and tests. The Family and Consumer Sciences Teacher Edition has all of the information in the same order and format as the student text, plus the additional teaching information, scope and sequence, projects to be assigned, grading suggestions, and answers for all of the textbook review questions. ~Judy
