j_thurm Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Does anyone know of a science curriculum that uses the Sower Biography series books? It would be for a 7th/8th grade child. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) None that I can think of. But it would be pretty easy to plug in the biographies with whatever science you use. As far as I can tell, only 8 of the 26 biographies are about people in science: SCIENCE 1571-1630 = Johannes Kepler -- German -- physics / math / astronomy 1627-1691 = Robert Boyle -- Anglo-Irish -- chemistry / physics 1643-1727 = Isaac Newton -- English -- physics / math / astronomy 1791-1872 = Samuel F.B. Morse -- US -- inventor (electricity/telegraph) / painter 1820-1910 = Florence Nightingale -- English -- medicine 1822-1895 = Louis Pasteur -- French -- biologist / chemistry / medicine 1860s-1943 = George Washington Carver -- US -- botany 1867-1912 = The Wright Brothers -- US -- physics / flight / inventors HISTORY 1400s = Christopher Columbus -- Italian explorer of the New World 1700s = George Washington -- US Colonial/Early America, Colonial general/1st president 1700s-1800s = Abigail Adams -- US Colonial/Early America, wife of 2nd president 1700s-1800s = Noah Webster -- US "Father of American Education", dictionary creator 1700s-1800s = Daniel Webster -- US politician 1800s = Stonewall Jackson -- Civil War Confederate general 1800s = Robert E. Lee -- Civil War Confederate general 1800s = Abraham Lincoln -- Civil War president 1800s = William Jennings Bryan -- politician and orator MUSIC 1700s-1800s = Francis Scott Key -- US lawyer, authored the national anthem 1800s = Samuel Francis Smith -- US minister, authored "My Country Tis of Thee" lyrics 1600s-1700s = George Frederic Handel -- German composer 1900s = Mahalia Jackson -- US "Queen of Gospel" FAITH / MINISTRY 1800s = David Livingstone -- UK medical missionary to Africa 1900s = Teresa of Calcutta -- Albanian missionary to India 1600s-1700s = Susanna Wesley -- UK mother of John & Charles Wesley 1800s = Jason Lee -- Canadian missionary to First Peoples 1800s-1900s = Billy Sunday -- US evangelist ETA: PS: If you like the Sower series, you might also enjoy John Tiner Exploring... books to go with your science: - Planet Earth (gr. 4-6) -- geography/earth science - History of Medicine (gr. 5-8) - The World of Biology (gr. 6-9) - The World of Chemistry (gr. 6-9) - The World of Physics (gr. 7-10) - The World of Mathematics (gr. 8+) Edited December 11, 2017 by Lori D.
