Exploring Agriscience

1 Credit

This course is based on a middle school textbook Exploring Agriscience (©2006). It introduces students to a wide range of agricultural topics including forestry, landscaping, biotechnology, and aquaculture. Students learn the most significant components of agriculture and its importance to society. The book teaches many interesting facts about plants and animals without overloading them with details.

One workbook, instead of 10 individual LightUnits, guides the student through the text. Ten LightUnit tests are included.

Teacher materials include answers for all LightUnit exercises, self checks, and tests, and notes for the teacher. (Grades 8-10)

I Wonder - First Edition

Sunrise Edition

Sunrise Reading 100 is a sequel to the Learning to Read program. The first-grade reader, I Wonder, is full of delightful age-level stories and poems that develop critical reading skills while building character. Students will learn about honesty from Betsy and Billy, the importance of prayer from Willy, good habits from Bruce the door slammer, and trust from Bennie, who was afraid of thunder.
The accompanying workbook helps students practice phonics, reading comprehension, and analytical thinking. Two quizzes and a test for each of the five Units measure the child’s mastery of the material.

The Teacher’s Guide includes a reproduction of each workbook page with answers and detailed instructions for explaining the exercises, class discussion, and silent and oral reading activities. Even beginning teachers should be successful when using this manual to teach reading.
