*Science classes will be using Sabbath Mood's Form 2 Science curriculum. You can learn more about that curriculum by clicking here. This class is for 4th-6th graders. Fall Classes will be using the Chemistry & Weather lessons. Spring Classes will use the Weather & Physics: Energy lessons. Each class we will read from the spine text, orally narrate the reading, conduct a hands-on activity and make an entry in our science journal to include drawings, charts and/or write a narration to explain what happened during the activity. We will end our time together by learning about a Special Study topic and nature journaling. Our Special Studies rotation this year will be Wildflowers & Reptiles, Deciduous Trees & Mammals, Cultivated Crops & Birds. We will have a short reading, exploration time with pictures, field guides or specimens and then we will practice different nature journaling techniques.
Nature journaling lessons will come from How To Teach Nature Journaling by John Muir Laws and Emily Lygren. This book is free to download with the link below if your family would like to have a copy of their own.
