Curriculas

A Biblical approach to personal finance.

The Stewardship Instruction Pack contains the instruction manual with lesson-by-lesson instructions, detailed solutions, a devotional, and the DVD with lesson-by-lesson video instruction.

Graphing, simultaneous equations, exponents, polynomials, unit multipliers, and more

Negative numbers, order of operations, solving for the unknown, and other topics.

Elementary levels of Math-U-See:

Primer:  In the Primer level your child will learn not only how to write numerals but also addition and subtraction, basic counting, skip counting, geometric shapes, telling time, and they will be introduced to the manipulative block system. It’s a gentle introduction to “doing math.”

Alpha: Alpha focuses on teaching the concepts of single digit addition and subtraction. We use systematic teaching strategies to help students commit the addition and subtraction facts to memory.

Beta: Beta builds on the foundation in Alpha by applying students’ mastery of single-digit addition and subtraction to multiple-digit addition and subtraction. One of the stepping stones between these two levels is the concept of place value, which is an important milestone for truly grasping any multiple-digit operation.

Gamma:  Once students have mastered the concepts of addition and subtraction (covered in Alpha and Beta), they are ready for multiplication. Gamma teaches single-digit facts and multiple-digit multiplication skills.

Delta: Division is presented as the inverse of multiplication. Single-digit division facts are learned and the concepts of division and place value are applied when solving long division problems.

Epsilon:  Now that students have learned basic operations with whole numbers,Epsilon covers these same operations with fractions. Fractions are presented in an intuitive way with visual explanations of equivalent fractions, common denominators, and fractions and numbers larger than 1. Fractions and operations are illustrated using our proprietary Fraction Overlay manipulatives.

Zeta: Zeta extends the student’s concept of place value to the right of the decimal point. Students learn to complete core operations with decimals. The connection between fractions and decimals is presented.

The Constitution is the document that’s guided the development of the United States of America from its inception. It was formed by the Founding Fathers by the authority of the people, and it was expected that “We the People” would be vigilant to protect and defend its contents and abide by its restrictions on power.

Designed to accompany the Constitutional Literacy DVD Series, the workbook will help you turn the 25-part DVD series into a full high-school level course.

There are 4 books in the series:

Volume 1:  Who Is God? And How Can I Really Know Him?

Teach your elementary students how to use Scripture to view the world from God’s perspective with this engaging curriculum. As they learn the basics of the Christian faith—about who God is, who we are, sin, redemption, and more—they’ll be equipped to discern the truth among competing cultural messages and stand strong for what they believe!

Volume 2:  Who Am I? And What Am I Doing Here?

What gives a person value? What provides purpose for a life? Who Am I? And What Am I Doing Here? helps children understand what it means to be made in the image of God. This is the second volume in Apologia’s What we Believe Worldview series.

Volume 3:  Who Is My Neighbor?

Volume 3 in Apologia’s What We Believe series, Who is My Neighbor? And Why Does He Need Me? helps children understand how to live as Christians who are salt and light in the world, in their country, in their family, and in their lives wherever they go.

Volume 4:  What On Earth Can I Do?

Volume 4 in Apologia’s What We Believe series, What on Earth Can I Do looks at what being a good and faithful servant means to your kids. Designed around a notebooking concept, this study provides opportunities for your children to ponder who God is, the talents they’ve been given, how to use them for his glory, and more. Each lesson includes a main topic, learning objectives, short story, thought-provoking questions, vocabulary, and more.

Ages 6 to 14.

Equal to one year of university physics course, this is advanced placement physics for the high school student who wishes to either major in a science-related field, or is intensely interested in the scientific realm of Physics!

This course provides detailed descriptions of kinematics, dynamics, rotational motion, gravity, oscillations, waves, optics, thermal physics, electrical forces, electrical potential, DC circuits, magnetic forces, atomic physics, and nuclear physics. Lessons are retained through “On your own” activities, charts illustrating concepts, examples, lab exercises, tests and more.

Prerequisites: One year of high school physics and a trigonometry course.

Deepen your understanding of Chemistry with Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Advanced Chemistry, 2nd Edition. This rigorous course covers stoichiometry (with limiting reactants), thermodynamics, kinetics, acids and bases, redox reactions, solutions, atomic structure, orbital hybridization, molecular orbitals, molecular geometry, chemical equilibrium, and nuclear chemistry. An introduction to organic chemistry is also included, focusing on the major functional groups, organic nomenclature, and polymer chemistry.

28 hours of lab exercises are provided, including the rate of an iodine clock reaction, distillation, chromatography, the common ion effect, measuring pH changes in a buffer, the electrolysis of copper sulfate, polymerization experiments, and the hydrolysis of sucrose. When a student has finished this course (designed to be taken after a college-prep course), he or she will be prepared to take an AP or CLEP exam.

Color illustrations help keep concepts clear, while study questions, laboratory exercises, module study guides, and extra practice problems ensure that concepts are properly understood, and may be practically applied.

Prerequisites: Algebra II and a Chemistry college preparatory course such as Exploring Creation with Chemistry.

Dive into this comprehensive curriculum and get an up-close look at peculiar creatures and exotic environments that exist in the wonderful world below the surface of Earth’s ocean! Sixteen modules cover marine vertebrates and invertebrates, intertidal zones, estuary communities, coral reefs, continental shelf communities, deep ocean habitats, and more.
