Paradigm Integrated Chemistry and Physics Curriculum
Save during our Paradigm Science Sale!
Our children have used the Paradigm Accelerated Curriculum for several
home school subjects. We are pleased with the results. Whether your student is gifted in science or simply needs to meet
graduation requirements, the science curriculum from Paradigm is an
excellent choice. 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 each of the Paradigm science courses at the
publisher's website.
