Signs & Seasons Curriculum

Posted in Curricula New
 
Going, going, gone

Dear Homeschool Teacher,

Fall 2008As it says in Genesis 1:14, God created the sun, moon, and stars to help us tell time. While some parents might not have a strong Christian background in astronomy, with the Signs & Seasons curriculum, you can point your child towards the Creator while studying the sky.


Experience God's purpose for astronomy and learn right along with your student.





Signs & Seasons makes astronomy
easy and fun!

Have you ordered science curriculum for your family only to discover it wasn't creation based?

Or did the hands-on activities require expensive lab equipment and obscure supplies?

Perhaps the curriculum wasn't complete enough to help your high school student earn credit toward graduation? 


Then, you have to check out what's new in the Schoolhouse Store...


Signs & Seasons rounds out their astronomy curriculum with a new companion field journal and test booklet!


Signs & Seasons is a classical approach to astronomy that makes science an informative, enjoyable, and hands-on learning experience for the entire family.
Plus, it is comprehensive enough to count as a high school credit.

Your family will truly discover God's purpose for astronomy. This instructional study is:
  • an evolution-free Christian homeschool astronomy curriculum
  • designed with the homeschooler in mind
  • biblically based, covering very interesting aspects of astronomy through the quoted words of Scripture


Don't worry, you don't need expensive equipment. In fact, a telescope is not necessary, and your family will enjoy hours together under the starry sky to:

  • Learn the phases of the moon and the passage of the seasons
  • Locate traditional constellations and identify the visual planets
  • Observe how our calendar is based on the sun and moon
  • Discover how the times of Passover and Easter are derived from the cycle of the sun and moon
  • Enjoy the extensive glossary, biography of quoted authors, and astronomical tables
Plus, with over 40 pages of field activities which accompany each chapter, there are plenty of activities to reinforce important concepts.



This fantastic field journal and test booklet is especially created for high school students and establishes 120 hours of field work for a full high school astronomy credit. The new offering is perfect for helping high school students track and earn a high school credit by:
  • Recording observations of the sky
  • Taking tests to measure the knowledge learned
  • Gaining understanding through the use of the included maps and other graphical tools
Also included in the new field guide and test booklet:
  • Ready-made tables and time sheets
  • Learning aids for observing the sky
  • Test manuals for measuring your high schooler's achievement and assigning a grade
  • Parent- friendly answer keys
  • Multi-age appropriate activities for students


Check out a sampling of the field activities here. View the table of contents for the Signs and Seasons text at this link.

The instructional material completes the study and makes the textbook come to life for a meaningful and engaging unit!

The complete course covers historical, pre-telescopic astronomy. It's good old-fashioned learning and fun!



Plus, when you order, you'll get a free pair of Eclipse Shades. View the sun safely with Eclipse Shades solar viewing sunglasses! Absolutely safe for direct solar viewing! Eclipse Shades block 99.99% of the sun's bright light, so that you cannot see anything but the sun!



Remember, shipping is always free in the Schoolhouse Store!
