Together they form a year-long, secular homeschool science curriculum. The Workbook rounds out each lesson with independent research and hands-on activities, guiding students to EXPLORE, ABSORB, and LEARN more than they can from reading alone.<\/span><\/p>\n EXPLORE\u2014Each lesson is followed by at least one hands-on lab. Students apply the scientific method, collect and interpret data, and build models.<\/span><\/p>\n ABSORB\u2014Students take on their own, independent research with the Famous Science Series (FSS). Each FSS project introduces a scientist or discovery related to the lesson.<\/span><\/p>\n LEARN\u2014Show What You Know (SWIK) quizzes and assessments help you determine what your student has mastered and what they still need to review. You can use these as formal, written assessments or as the basis for conversations that help you gauge your student\u2019s understanding of key concepts.<\/span><\/p>\n These labs, projects, and activities are an essential part of middle and high school science. In addition to giving students the opportunity to learn by doing, the workbook serves as a course record when completed.<\/span><\/p>\n No homeschool science curriculum would be complete without hands-on experiments! Your student will apply the scientific method and experience how the concepts from each lesson play out in real life. They will build models, make observations, and think critically about how to interpret results.<\/span><\/p>\n RSO Earth & Environment 2 homeschool science curriculum consists of three products:<\/span><\/p>\n Each lesson follows the same general format:<\/span><\/p>\n Earth & Environment 2 allows flexibility within this format. You can choose how many times per week to teach science. You can allow notes with the exams or not, or simply use them to review. No two homeschools are alike, and we make it easy for you to adapt the course to your needs.<\/span><\/p>\n Science Skills Covered<\/span><\/p>\n REAL Science Odyssey\u2014Earth & Environment 2 starts with the basics and then covers progressively more complex concepts as you move through the cour<\/span>se. Every unit reinforces aspects of the scientific method and critical thinking. Each lesson explores a big idea or question in depth through reading, experiments, and conversation.<\/p>\n RSO Earth & Environment 2 <\/span><\/i>consists of three books: the student textbook, the student workbook, and the teacher guide. If working with a group, several students can share a textbook, but we recommend each student have a copy of the workbook for written assignments, lab findings, and assessments. The course is comprised of 23 chapters designed as a \u201clong\u201d semester to be paired with the 12-chapter <\/span>Astronomy 2<\/span> as a \u201cshort\u201d semester. This assumes that each chapter is completed within one week plus some extra time for review and testing.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" RSO Earth & Environment 2<\/em>\u00a0is a 23-week earth and environmental science course for grades 6 to 10.
