Mankind Marvelously Made (Gr.7-8)

Description

Mankind Marvelously Made is intended for 7th and 8th grades. The book is divided into four units: human body, food study, safety and first aid, and mental health. The units can be done in any order. This level has a student text, teacher edition, test booklet and recently added student worksheets and worksheets answer keys. The text is hardcover, and students complete their work in a separate notebook. This level could be spread out over two years, doing a portion of the units each year or completed in one academic year by doing health every day of your school week. The student text is 334 pages and includes textual information, study guide questions at the end of each chapter, and review exercises at the end of each unit. The Teacher Edition includes student pages, answers to textbook questions and tests, notes to help the teacher and notes for first aid practice sessions. The Test Booklet includes a unit one test, food unit test, farm safety test, Chapter 2 test of Unit 3 (Hazards Around the Rural Home), Chapter 3 test of Unit 3 (Weather Related Precautions), Chapter 4 test of Unit 3 (Sports and Recreation), and Basic First Aid Test. Now available are two booklets of Student Worksheets that correspond with the student text and review the material with a variety of exercises. These include fill-in-the-blank, crossword puzzles, matching, etc. The two Worksheet Answer Keys have duplicate pages with red answers filled in.

This series is printed in black and white, and the content is reliable and straightforward. Don't let this program sneak past if you're looking for a budget-friendly health course from a Christian perspective.
