Co-winner of our 2011 Science Curriculum of the year, Body of Evidence is a journey through the human body – from cells and tissues to major organs and systems. While Body of Evidence features lots of anatomical props, models, and microscopic images employed to make each lecture crystal clear, it is Dr. Menton's excellent teaching that makes Body of Evidence such a stellar program. Not only is he knowledgeable, but he seems to be equally passionate about passing that knowledge on to his students. With the unruffled serenity and plain-spokenness of a country doctor, Dr. Menton explores even delicate topics with unusual modesty and diplomacy. Appropriate and informative for the entire family, Body of Evidence is absolutely the best anatomy course currently available to homeschoolers. It is a resource that will be utilized over and over again as you continue to appreciate the Creator-honoring way it explores this fascinating topic. The Body of Evidence collection runs a total of 635 minutes on eight DVDs; also includes a study guide. |

Precepts of Anatomy & Physiology uses a combination of text and graphics that effectively draws teens with a story approach to teaching these complicated topics. Your student will learn about the interdependency of the systems of the incredible human body, including the endocrine; nervous; integumentary; skeletal; muscular; circulatory; respiratory; digestive; excretory; immune; and even that awkward topic, the reproductive system. (Concerned about how that is handled? This is the most age-appropriate presentation of that topic we have seen. It includes all the nitty-gritty details a teen needs to know, with the author's much appreciated bias as to the necessity of marriage as a prerequisite.) Includes two lightweight text books, for a total of thirty lessons, as well as two activity guides and teacher's resources. |

History Revealed teaches history as your child has never experienced it! History Revealed passionately presents history with take-away assignments that are as diverse as your children.

Does the prospect of a semester of studying government set your child's feet to dancing? Mine neither. But in many states a semester is required for graduation, and as painful as it may seem, a complete understanding of government will have greater impact on your student than a comparable understanding of calculus. Exploring Government from the Notgrass Company is as painless as it gets. Bite-sized lessons cover federal, state, and local government, as well as contemporary issues in government. Special emphasis is placed on the Biblical basis for government and on the U.S. Constitution. Exploring Government is designed as a self-study course for teens with seventy-five engaging lessons divided into fifteen units of five lessons each. Suggestions for relevant activities often include writing an essay – groan. But if your child is college-bound and without other writing activities, doing these assignments may be valuable in crystallizing on paper his or her opinions and possible applications. Better yet, use these suggested activities as a springboard for discussions around the dinner table or with your community group. |

Finally, Latin for every student, without boredom or overwhelmingly long lessons! Simply pop a Visual Latin DVD in the player, hit play, and start learning; nothing could be easier. Every Visual Latin lesson contains three parts: grammar, sentences, and reading -- with the reading segment covering reading, comprehension, and translation. In each of the three parts you begin with a video that takes less than ten minutes to watch. Afterwards your child completes the corresponding PDF worksheet to reinforce what he just learned. So Visual Latin is not only visual, it is multi-sensory. You hear it, see it, speak it, write it, and ultimately think it. Because each lesson has a reading translation component, your child will be translating complete sentences, much of it Christian in nature, from the very first lesson! |
