Apologia Physical Science Textbook

This softcover Apologia Physical Science textbook will help your middle schooler develop an understanding of the basic world they live in, all the while giving them a deeper appreciation for the beauty and value of creation. This course is designed to prepare your child not only for an academic homeschool year, but for their life and the many years ahead; it's intended be the second course taken during your child's junior high years, and will give your child a solid foundation in preparation for high school science. 

This course continues to help middle school students develop note-taking skills and become more confident in learning independently and taking responsibility for their school work.  

Throughout this Physical Science course, your student will conduct various controlled experiments, consisting of observing specific problems, asking strategic questions, formulating their own hypotheses, conducting experiments, and analyzing data to see if their results support or negate their hypotheses.

Inside Exploring Creation with Physical Science, 3rd Edition, you'll find:

• Well-rounded coverage of chemistry, physics, and Earth science to give your child a solid foundation before entering high school
• “Think About This” sections that will help your child make a connection between science and our Creator
• Updated experiments with lab reports  
• Rich graphics to help reinforce information for your visual learners
• A suggested schedule (found at the beginning of the Student Notebook) & a detailed schedule (found at the beginning of each lesson)
• Detailed to-do lists at the beginning of each lesson to help your child prepare
• Quick & easy “You Do Science” activities (optional) that help increase comprehension 
• Tests for each of the 15 modules
• Complete step-by-step grading rubrics that show you how to calculate a module grade from the student’s module test, lab work & character displayed throughout the module

From Apologia's Website:

"A typical week requires studying science for about 1 hour a day for 4 days. During this time, students read an assigned portion of their textbook, stopping throughout each section to answer “On Your Own” questions to test their comprehension before moving forward. Students self-check their answers against the detailed answers provided at the end of each module.

Laboratory exercises are conducted throughout each module so that students have a hands-on lab component in their scientific study. These have been designed to work easily in the homeschool environment.

At the end of each of the 15 modules, which take about 2 weeks each to complete, there are Study Guides to help students review their materials before taking their exams. Detailed answers to these questions are provided in the Solutions and Tests Manual."
