7th-12th Alternate Courses for Science

We have the following recommendations for students who would benefit from alternate courses for science. Our goal with all of our curriculum is practical excellence — courses designed for success. So, we are sharing the following recommendations with you and will expand on this in the future. We welcome your feedback to help us make these suggestions even better.

7th Grade:

Begin the year with Science in the Atomic Age, teaching your student how to read a chapter for information and how to prepare for tests. If you find that this book is just not working, set it aside for a year. Instead:

  • Complete Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics (from 1850 to Modern Times), which is the most difficult of our science resources in the Five-Year Cycle. Have the student take leadership by gathering supplies and leading the demonstrations and experiments under your watchful eye.
  • You may prefer to use the science in the Five-Year Cycle curriculum package (Exploring Countries and Cultures, Creation to the Greeks, etc.) you are already teaching.


8th Grade:

Science in the Atomic Age — if already completed as a 7th grader, go to our recommended course for 8th grade, Earth Science.


9th Grade:

Earth Science — if already completed, use Concepts in Biology.


10th Grade:

Concepts in Biology — use for high school science credit (NOTE: This course is also useful for a student who wants to take our more difficult Biology course Discovering Design with Biology, the following year, providing a year of preparation to be more successful.) If already completed, select from Earth Science or Chemistry.


11th or 12th Grade:

Chemistry — or select from Earth Science or Concepts in Biology.


CHEMISTRY
We don't have a recommendation for Chemistry yet, but we are looking into Friendly Chemistry.
Designed for those who find it more difficult to learn by reading or lack a solid science background, the reading and vocabulary levels are less rigorous.

Concepts in Biology is a gentle, simpler course for those who would find it difficult to succeed in an academically-strong biology course. The content is high school level, earning a full-year high school credit, but the reading and vocabulary levels are less rigorous. If your student is college-bound (or fascinated with science) and a strong reader, we recommend Discovering Design with Biology.

To help students successfully complete this course, our package includes streaming videos for each lesson, taught by the author.
