Let There Be Light Unit Study
This is the first unit in what will become a collection of units centered on the 7 days of creation. The unit studies are written to encourage further research, but because it includes all the necessary material to do a thorough study, it is quite self-contained. This was done specifically with less developed areas in mind, where a library or the internet is not always readily available or only available at certain times.
The unit study contains a book of 15 pages, which contains all the basic information needed to understand light and its properties.
There are 15 worksheets (some with added information not contained in the book) that can be done by the child after reading the information. The formal worksheets can be included in lapbooks or notebooks.The suggested hands-on activities either have instructions included or internet links to sites where detailed instructions can be found. Links for further research are also included.
Activities are divided into three levels, to help the parent customize their children’s learning or to accommodate different ages or levels of ability.Each section includes Bible verses that correspond to the section and memory cards are included in the package.
It is my hope that this study will bless all who work with it, as it bears witness of the Light of the world, Jesus.• 1 Comments • Post A Comment! • Permanent Link

This lapbook was created to go along with The Hidden Art of Homemaking by Edith Schaeffer. The Hidden Art of Homemaking is an excellent book with lots of wonderful ideas on how to realize your full potential, while creating a fuller, richer homelife for yourself and your family. It covers a multitude of topics including cooking, flower arrangement, clothing, creative recreation, and even integration. This file provides thirty-nine minibooks to record notes as you read through the book. It makes a great study for mothers to do alone or with their daughters.

FREE THIS WEEK FROM HOMESCHOOL E-STORE/CURRICULUM CLICK!
SCHOOL AND CHORE CHART
"A collection of charts for home & school. Included are cards to add to your child's chart for both chores and school.
My suggestion for these charts would be to print them on card stock and then print the chore cards on magnet sheets. You could then use them on a white board or refridgerator. Another choice would be to also print the cards on card stock and place velcro in the blocks of the charts and backs of the cards and use them that way. I would also suggest that you laminate your charts.
The larger cards could also be printed onto magnet sheets. You could use the blank page as a guide to create a larger chart for your child or to allow your child to add other chores or subjects."

Practical Money Skills Calculators
Indeed, these are practical money-related calculators that include an allowance-comparison calculator (compare theirs to yours at their age), a needs-based allowance calculator, a saving-for-a-goal calculator, an auto-loan calculator, one that will rework a budget, and several more. Don't miss the games at the bottom of the list. Who knew finance could be so much fun?

See maps that show the spread of world religions, which U.S. presidents led the U.S. into war, who has dominated the Middle East, and more. The maps play out very quickly, so you needn't spend too long here if a brief look suits you.
Universcale - Size Comparison You Can See!
View all entities, from the microworld to the universe, from a single perspective. By using the electron microscope and astronomical telescope, we can set objects up against a scale to compare and understand things that cannot be physically compared under ordinary circumstances.

Short, narrated video clips of living-history craftsman interpreters demonstrate authentic tools. See how our ancestors used a spinning wheel, niddy-noddy, screw auger, plane, and more. If you can't go to events in person, this is the next best thing.

The Web Gallery of Art is a virtual museum and searchable database of European painting and sculpture from 12th to mid-19th centuries. Although begun to present Renaissance art, the scope of the collection was extended to show its medieval roots, evolution to Baroque and Rococo via Mannerism, as well as the periods of Neoclassicism and Romanticism. Use the Internet radio stations (under "music") to enhance your visit with classical music. Select from options at the bottom of the home page to tour the site.
