I have the Quest for the Middle Ages guide for my ds16 and it is combined for both jr/sr high. I am not sure if my guide is the newest edition. I bought it from WP last fall, so they may have changed it since then when they removed the Forensic/Human Body Science and made it a separate package. MOH2 is the main book used for reading & activities, but you can probably look up your own related activities online and leave MOH out. If you have any specific questions about QMA, I'd be happy to answer them. HTH Cindy

We are using free lessons plans from Guest Hollow. It is a complete Human Body curriculum created by a homeschool mom. It is VERY thorough IMO with more books, videos & activities than you would probably want to do in one week (well, you MIGHT want to do it all depending on how in depth you want to take it). She even has links to coordinating worksheets, which I found to be a nice bonus. You could easily pick the topics or weeks you want to study and leave out the stuff that you've either already covered or are not interested in. For example, I am adding in several other books & sort of rewriting her schedule to fit the books I have on hand. I bought the books from Winter Promise's Jr/Sr High Forensic/Human Body Science and I am scheduling them in to make it more difficult for my 9th grader. The books that are scheduled are very inexpensive on Amazon or Half.com, and all but a couple were available at my very small public library. I even found 3 on Paperback Swap. Cindy

We are using a free curriculum created by a HS mom Otters Human Body Science There are 3 levels: Prek-1, 2nd-6th (maybe 8th), and high school. I am doing it with my dd7 and ds 16 and they both enjoy it The books are inexpensive at Amazon and Half.com. Cindy

Free Human Body lesson plans for Prek-1. I am using most of this with dd and it is wonderful. Not exactly a resource, but you can check out the books she has scheduled and do your own thing! Most of the books are available at my small public library which makes it almost free. There are also lesson plans for 2-8 and high school, as well. Cindy

I almost forgot. You can print out an entire Scott Foresman grammar workbook for grades 1-6 here: link to 2nd grade. You can pick & chose the parts you want, so no wasted paper & ink. Cindy

CurrClick has over 800 grammar items, including workbooks by Evan Moor, Scholastic & TCR. It may take a sec for the link to open, it is showing you all 846 items labeled "grammar". Instant gratification mother-lode! Cindy

Probably not the BEST "list" form, but if you join for free at Book Adventure, you can search books for any genre and levels from infant to 8th grade. I just printed out a list 3 pages long (for dd7) to take with us to the library. It shows ISBN, author, and some have a brief synopsis. Also, there are HUNDREDS of titles that have a quick "quiz" your child can take after reading the book to earn prizes from the site. Not exactly what you were looking for, but we like it & I use it at least 3-4 times a week so it might offer you something. Cindy I almost forgot, there are several listed here: Read-Aloud Handbook If you can find a copy of this at your library, it offers hundreds of books with reviews.

Here is a lapbook you could easily adapt to a unit study. American Revolution Unit Study These aren't unit studies per se, but you could easily glean info from the hundreds of links, activities & videos: Ideas Kid Info Christianbook article Tons of lesson plans & links More info Resources Hope you can find something!

I can't say for certain that you NEED them, but if you are a member of Paperback Swap the teachers editions are all on there as of this morning (I have them in my reminder list). Just a FYI, Paperback Swap is a free book exchange: you get 2 credits for posting 10 books, then 1 credit for every book you ship to another member, or buy 1 credit for $3.45. I have been a member for quite a while and I have NEVER had any problems (it's very secure). My user name is the same there as this one (savmom) if you want to look me up! So, basically you could get the TM's for $3.45 each if you wanted to order them without posting any books of your own. Much cheaper than anywhere else, plus you don't have to pay extra for shipping! There are TM's for dozens of other curriculum providers as well. Cindy

I know you said you were looking for actual curriculum, but have you tried Spelling City? My ds has used it in the past and it worked better for him than any of the spelling curriculum we had. There are games & printouts (all free) and many different Dolch/sight word/themed lists to chose from (or simply make your own). My ds is 16 and seemed to run into some sort of mental block with spelling. So, we went back to learning the basic rules for awhile (spellingcity included) and now he is spelling college level words with ease. We also used R&S before and it would be easy to only do the spelling portion (leave out the dictionary skills or whatever you think is unnecessary as the different "parts" are separate). I think R&S starts at grade 2, but we only used 5th & 6th. You can see the word lists for each level by looking at the sample for each specific grade. Also, Spellwell by EPS books, is very nicely done. The link is a pdf of the program overview. It is very inexpensive, which is a bonus!

I use it almost daily for every subject except Bible. I was fortunate enough to sign up when it was still $7.99 per month (they kept my rate the same when they increased the price) but considering how often I use the site, I would not hesitate to pay current prices. I realize there are tons of sites with free similar materials, but TFB has two things going for it that I like: the materials are all on one site & easy to find AND I can look up specific books on http://www.evan-moor.com/ and search for them there. I am creating dd's entire science curriculum this year based on lessons from their site (she is 7). As much as they charge for the printed materials, I find the site a less inexpensive alternative. Plus, they are correlated to state standards and they are always adding new materials. The only downside is that you cannot save anything to your computer, only print them. The homeschool buyers co-op (free to join) is having a group buy for a year subscription & currently the price is $60 (a savings of $39.99) https://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/index.php?option=com_hsbc_epp_order&Itemid=1156 Cindy

This is my first post but I have bought/sold here with good results: http://homeschoolreviews.com/forums/2/default.aspx Also, HSLDA has a very nice auction site and you do NOT have to be a member to sell: http://market.hslda.org/Auction/xcAuction.asp Cindy
