Is it worth getting the labpaq for Apologia Physics? I went to the website but can't find the contents of PK-S or any other ones. Thanks.

what type of science?
alwaysinhiskeeping replied to alwaysinhiskeeping's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Wow! Thanks. Are you aware of any curriculum for high schooler? -
After watching "the Planet Earth", my ds is insterested in that area of science. It has to do with how the environment/weather affects the life of the animals. What type of science is this, ecology, topography, environmental science, or something else?

How does Discovering Geometry compare with Jacobs? thanks. -
Thank you for all the posts. I have been looking at Chalkdust, Jacobs, Lial, and Foerster Algebra I now that I got a copy of these textbooks (yes, it took a while, because I was looking around for used copies). I also have my ds look at each curriculum, go through the lesson to see which one fits him better. Now I have narrowed it down to Lial and Foerster. Does anyone know where to find a solution manual for Foerster? I can teach the lessons so DVD is not what I am looking for. I just don't want to have to do the problems myself in order to check his work.

Thanks! I will take a look at Omnibus.

We have the same requirements here, 1 year World History, 1 year US History, 1 semester government, and 1 semester econ. I was looking at TOG 4 year scope & sequence and it seems that year 3 and year 4 covers more US history (but not solely). I am not sure if I like the idea of using TOG Y3 & Y4 for 2 years but it only fulfill 1 year of US history requirement. All 4 years of TOG cover government. How does that work for 1 semester government requirement? Does it mean you don't get the credit until after you finish the 4 years? This is starting to get very confusing to me...
-
Am I correct that for high school, you need world history, US history, government, economics? By using TOG, according to how much each year covers (Ancient World, Medieval World through the American Revoluation, 1800's, 1900's), if you finish Y1 then decide not to continue (hypothetically), then you will not get the credit for world history or US history since the curriculum is not divided in a way that Y1 is world history Y2 is US history. Am I correct? Does it make sense? Has anyone done 1 year with TOG then switch to other curriculum?
-
Back from vacation.......Now is the real world. Is it possible to start TOG in 9th grade? I have read from other posts that TOG needs a bigger learning curve and it's better to start early. Is the prep work very time consuming?
-
Thanks! That was very helpful. How about TOG? How do they incorporate their theology into the curriculum, if at all? Is MFW grade-specific?
-
Why are there so many editions of Lial's? Are the changes for the better? What are the changes? I see one advantage of having many older editions is that it's easier to find the textbook and it's cheaper. Thanks.
-
Did I just say 'run' across? I must be tired. I meant 'come' across! Just curious, what theology background (or denomination?) do the people put together either TOG and MFW have? Anyone knows?
-
I have run across TOG classic version and redesigned version on some blog. Am I correct that I should be getting the redesigned version (and that's what their store sells)? Which one to purchase? Digital Edition or Print edition?
-
Thank you for breaking it down. It makes better sense to me now. I will try to get a copy of the three different curriculum from the library and review them. Too bad I had already bought the TT curriculum, but not I am leaning towards not using it. But it's better to know about it now before I start diving into it and change later.
-
Does Lial (or any other two) provide a schedule to follow? How many lessons are you supposed to do a day? Do you try to finish the entire textbook?
-
Oh, yes, I did see that but forgot to mention it. Thanks.
-
Thank you for the suggestion! I just went on the website and viewed/listened to the sample lecture. While we used MOH, my kids preferred me giving them the lecture (not just reading the text, but also with extra explanations and resources). We also bought the audio CD, they loved to listen to them in the car, but once they were at the lesson we haven't covered, they would ask me to stop the CD because they wanted me to give them the lesson first. I think they prefer a 'live' person. I also prefer history incorporating the Bible history.
-
I just looked at the sample page on the link. I like how they write out the schedule for you. When you buy the curriculum, are the reading books included? Thanks.

.. and how do you grade student's work using either TOG and MFW?
-
Do TOG and MFW both include spelling and grammar?

If you live in Japan...
alwaysinhiskeeping replied to Wendi's topic in High School and Self-Education Board
Maybe you can see if there is a Japanese store around where you live. Some Japanese supermarkets in CA also have sections where they sell all kinds of neat stuff, school supplies, furniture, home decors,...etc. I am pretty sure you don't have to get it from Japan.
