TeenCoder: Android Programming

The Natural Science Mysteries course from Paradigm Accelerated Curriculum (PAC) will introduce students to earth science and life science. This course can accommodate students who struggled through other science courses due to reading levels; the high-interest adventure vignettes help young people solve mysteries through the scientific method and by applying positive character traits. This course would work as a slow introduction to the topic, or for struggling students who require additional help. Recommended for 8th grade remedial.

Set includes 5 Chapters plus 5 Activity Books and 1 Teacher’s Resource Kit; non-reproducible pages, paper covers with magazine-style stapled bindings. Suggested for Grade 8 remedial. Designed to cover one year.

KidCoder provides the hands-on introduction to set them on their way! KidCoder: Beginning Web Design is the first semester course of the Web Design “KidCoder” course-year (followed by Advanced Web Design), and teaches students grades 4 & up how to create their own web pages using HTML, XHTML, and CSS.

Chapters cover basics of software and basic conventions, web design, “mark-up” language, way to create HTML, file extensions, specific HTML elements, CSS, NAV bards, cascading patterns, raptors, graphics, and more.

Important concepts, sidebars that highlight additional information, chapter review summaries, and “your turn” practice activities are highlighted within each chapter. Plenty of screenshots and visually distinct HTML ensure that instructions and code is clearly understood. When the course is completed, students will have built a multi-page website!

No prior computer programming or HTML experience is required; the other year of KidCoder, the Programming series, can be completed before or after this course. Course CD with set-up program is also included. 234 pages, indexed, softcover.

Uncle Sam and You will immerse students in a full year of learning about civics and government. Designed for students in grades 5-8, lessons focus on America’s founding documents, branches of government, patriotic symbols, voting, the election process, Washington, D.C., the presidency, how Congress works, American holidays, and aspects of federal, state, and local government. Each full-color lesson includes a short chapter to read that explains the topic to the student; chapters feature both modern and historical photographs and illustrations. Lessons conclude with a variety of subject-based activity ideas that relate to Biblical studies, literature, creative writing, art, vocabulary, reading assignments, and notes for the sold-separately (and optional) student workbook/lesson review. A weekly family activity that involves crafts, meals, and other multi-age activities is also provided. Fifteen units are included each text, with four lessons in each unit. Depending on how many activities are assigned, students will need 45-90 minutes per lesson. However, the back of each book includes fifteen optional lessons on America’s patriotic holidays. If five lessons per week are desired, the holiday lessons can be used as a fifth lesson or for other occasions. A total of 150 lessons/30 weeks of lessons are provided.
