Not curriculum, but some really nice sites for the periodic table of the elements.

 

Periodic Videos- Videos that demonstrate experiments for every element on the periodic table. These were linked on the board before.

 

Webelements- click on the element and then on the microphone to hear about the element

 

A poster of the periodic table of the elements with pictures.

What do you want to play today? Learning is an adventure, and learning about other people, places, foods and festivals are fascinating ways to get to know the world and the people we share it with. Learning can be done through play by simply using the free cultural pages, puzzles and games that we provide in this area. Click on a country to get started!

BODIES, the exhibition ~ includes educator guides for various grade levels from Carnegie Science Center. Even if you aren't interested in the exhibit or pictures of the preserved bodies, there is good info in the guides that can be used for lessons:

Geography Around the World with Animals and Peoples

 

Well I am done as I am going to be with this. It schedules 9 continents/ areas for zoology/ geography and 27 countries/areas for culture. We are implementing it and I don't want to change the schedule after we complete each step. It is very adaptable and tweakable. If you PM me with your email address I will send the whole thing. I am looking into putting it on a web page. The next post will include the Continent of Africa, and one of three sections of culture study for Africa. I will be adding a link to a sample of our note-booking in a few weeks.

 

Booklist

The Kingfisher Young People’s Atlas of the World Library books from list

Material World by Peter Menzel The Usborne Internet Linked Introduction to Asia

Fourth Edition Anthology of Children’s Literature by Johnson, Sickels, Sayers

Around the World Art and Activities was another last minute addition. My 6 year old did not want to learn about world cultures at all until this arrived, it is the one resource (in addition to library books) I would not go without. Usborne Living World Encyclopedia is highly recommended for every continent of study, but it only been scheduled for Africa. In addition, Disney Learning’s Our World is to replace or supplement the other Atlases listed; this was a last minute change and is not scheduled.

Additional Library suggestions for higher grade levels: http://www.ala.org/ala/alsc/alscreso...roundWorld.cfm

Additional resources for Zoology:

http://www.ourlosbanos.com/homeschool/science_animals_gravy.html

If you are using this with a first grader like mine, the books Count Your Way Through… and The Biography of… are too advanced. Each page has the information of an encyclopedia. Material World is good for pictures and discussion with younger students but too much reading. The library books are the meat of the program and we did most of our culture learning from these. In the Draw Write Now Map lessons, the teacher did the drawing and our student traced it and cut it out to past on the notebook page. Of course, adjust as necessary for your child.
