Science:

The curriculum we will be using is, Answers in Genesis. We\'ll be using 4 books from the God's Design series. The books will be taught in this order.  (The 3/4 Science class tries to stay on the same book schedule as the 5/6 Science class.)

Our Universe

Properties of Ecosystems

Inventions and Technology

The Human Body

Books are not required, however it may be useful to have students read over the material and be familiar with it prior to class and/or discuss with parents after class.

The science portion of this class is 60 mins and will include discussing one unit of material from our book during the first part of class. One unit covers many lessons, so we will be covering the highlights of each unit. The goal of 3/4 science is to give an introduction to many science topics, not to go too in-depth on any one topic in particular, as all of these topics will be revisited more in-depth in the years to come. These lessons are a great "jumping off" point and gives parents the oppurtunity to go more in-depth at home, if they wish. If you choose to buy the books, there are multiple ways to go deeper into each topic that is covered. The second part of science class may include any of the following: hands-on activities, experiments, demonstrations, games, songs, "show and tell", etc. 

History:

The history portion of this class is 30 minutes long and will be taught by Jessica Mittwede. We will be covering the ancient times this year by following the Story of the World Curriculum, book 1! This will include memory work, hands-on activities, the use of maps, and discussion over history events. rn

The students will record their information in a history journal that the students will bring to class each week. 

The curriculum we will be using is the Story of the World, Volume 1: Ancient Times.
