Building Thinking Skills Book 3 Figural's activities are sequenced developmentally. Each skill (for example, classifying) is presented first in the semi-concrete figural-spatial form and then in the abstract verbal form. Students learn to analyze relationships between objects, between words, and between objects and words as they observe, recognize, and describe characteristics; distinguish similarities and differences; and identify and complete sequences, classifications, and analogies. |

Principles, Theories & Precepts of Biology takes a refreshingly bold approach by challenging popular theories using the scientific method, application of DNA, and recent research to point out the strengths and weaknesses of those theories. Students who complete this course will have a strong foundation for college studies in science and theories about the origin of life. Lab experiences are not necessary to fulfill the requirements of this course, making this an ideal program for most home-taught students. |

Written by home-school mom Linda Hobar, The Mystery of History Volume III is one spectacular masterpiece. Not just a textbook, it is brimming with multi-age activities, book and video lists, memory helps, and timeline suggestions. Written in a conversational style, what appeals to us most about this program is its worldwide approach to history. Covering people and events from 1455 AD to 1707 AD, this volume teaches about the Medicis, the Inquisition, Martin Luther, Shakespeare, Pocahontas, and so much more. The Mystery of History Volume III looks at what was going on all over the world in the order that it happened. It brings to life the master painters and sculptors, the scientists and philosophers, and the many explorers whose adventures we still talk about today. In order to best represent the beautiful artwork covered in this time period, Volume III has been printed in full color. Includes both the full-color reader and the companion guide! Suitable for all ages, it is not necessary to have completed Volumes I or II to begin a study in Volume III, but it is recommended. Don't hesitate to call us if you need to customize this bundle. |

Using eye-catching video footage supported by hundreds of captivating visuals and graphics, filmmaker Wes Olson does an excellent job of explaining even the most complex of topics.

Sometimes your student needs to take a break from schoolwork without disengaging his brain. The Titanic rescue game is perfect for him. At the beginning of the game, there are a lot of people in the water, making it difficult to maneuver the lifeboats. But when a lifeboat is filled, it can't move anymore. So once you have picked up a few people and have more space to move about, your movement is restricted by the boats which are full. This makes Titanic a constantly changing maze of people and boats! Includes forty-eight challenges to solve. |

When one of our children was a preschooler, we received the best advice a parent of a kinesthetic child could receive: Let her wiggle. And wiggle she did. I don't think she sat for schoolwork for many years. Thinking Putty offers your child a way to move without becoming a distraction. An impressive, adult-sized handful of high-quality, moldable putty, the non-toxic, non-gooey Thinking Putty will bounce, stretch, tear, drip, snap, even shatter. Not only perfect for little wigglers, Thinking Putty is also a great stress-relieving, soothing slab of super-smooth elastic putty for older students and adults! |
