Paradigm Integrated Chemistry and Physics Curriculum

Save during our Paradigm Science Sale!

Introduce your students to physics and chemistry in a non-threatening way. "Students are walked" chronologically through development of the Periodic Table of Elements by learning about the men and women who discovered the elements. This engaging approach captivates students' interests and "compels" them to learn about application of physics and chemistry to daily life.

Paradigm's Integrated Physics and Chemistry encourages student to assess data through the scientific method of discovery. Year 1 consists of Chapters 1 through 6 for grade 9. Year 2 covers Chapters 7 through 12 for 10th grade. When the student completes all 12 chapters, you can assign two credits (years) for Integrated Physics and Chemistry.

If you have a 7th or 8th grader who is gifted in science, you could use this curriculum for that age group.

You can see curriculum samples of this course at the publisher's website.
