Natural Science Mysteries
Designed
as an eighth grade course, these saddle-stitch texts cover Earth and life
sciences, plus studies on the Periodic Table of the Elements and the solar
system. Each scientific concept is enhanced by adventure vignettes in
which young people help solve community mysteries by applying
the scientific method and positive character traits, such as integrity,
honesty, commitment, diligence, and kindness. Students learn how virtues
and personal responsibility help communities reduce violence and upgrade
community standards. The narrative, high interest approach of this series
engages students so they progress through comprehensive scientific material
with clarity and engagement. Students are exposed to scientific evidence
which explores traditional and contemporary theories about the origin
of life and the formation of our planet and universe. Texts allow the
student to evaluate these theories from a scientific perspective. Each
text has a companion Activity Book designed to “walk the student”
through the text in chronological order. Selected questions in each Activity
Book also serve as
preparation for state academic assessment exams. Activity Books are applicable
in regular classrooms or in individualized learning programs in which
students progress through the course with interest and understanding.
