Louis Pasteur Anyone? ~ I Need Your Help!

By

In learning about Fermentation today, Dawson really got into Louis Pasteur and said that he thought he was really cool. Of course, as a homeschool mom, my thought was, "Well, then let's not move forward and, instead, study him some more." I mean, if your child shows an interest in something, especially a microbiologist, don't you just want to park there for a while?

But, I don't have any direction on a lesson plan.

DOES ANYONE HAVE A GREAT LESSON PLAN ON LOUIS PASTEUR, OR IDEAS FOR HOW I COULD BUILD ONE?

I do not want to waste this awesome opportunity.

    For Dawson's biology can you tell me if this is the book you are using?
    The Way Life Works

    And does it have the dissection unit and all the things you've done with him in it?

    Or do you have another spine that you use? I've noticed that you use other resources to add to it but I was just wondering if it included most topics as an outline.
    Thanks!

    Thank you for replying on my blog!
    You said," I wish I had more guidance for you. I really build this curriculum completely myself, using The Way Life Works as our outline."

    This is exactly what I wanted to know! Thank you so much for the quick reply! My son is 14 and we tried to do a bit of biology this year (Apologia isn't for us either) and we stalled out. My spine was not what we needed. So I'm thinking of following The Way Life Works as our guide also. But it gets me to thinking that I might even have something already in my stash that I've overlooked.

    Thanks again for your help!

We all know that in this crazy world of homeschooling, we need all the (adult) support we can get. Please leave a comment if you so wish!

Cells ~ It's What's for Dinner

Dawson made edible cells on Friday. He made an animal cell pizza ... and a plant cell chocolate chip cookie ... He reviewed what he's learned about cells the past two weeks, and I had dinner made by someone else. Win, win!! I am linking up at Science Sunday at Adventures in Mommydom.

ABCya

By
Eli's reading resource teacher shared a website with me yesterday that I would like to pass along. It's called ABCya . There are separate educational sections with fantastic games for ages kindergarten through 5th grade. I browsed the 2nd grade level, and it includes age-appropriate games about Letters, Numbers, Shapes, Geometry, Patterns, Mouse Manipulation, Art and Holiday games. There are lots and lots of fun and creative games for children to play. They are fun, but oh, so educational. Eli's favorite, in his short time playing it, was Create a Car . A lot of the games also have Apps available for purchase (99 cents for most of them) for the iPad and iPhone. I have been looking for another free website for games similar to Starfall , for some time. I think I have found it. I can feel confident having Eli and Brynne play these games.

How to Build a Homeschool U.S. History Curriculum from "America: The Story of Us"

By
FINAL UPDATE (JUNE 2012): We completed our entire U.S. History course last month using the America: The Story of Us video series and the resources I had planned. We officially covered Episodes 1-9 which got us through the 1920's. We plan to use the remaining three videos when we study the World Wars in a couple of years. I just want to go on record as saying that I believe whole-heartedly that the use of this series with my resources would more than qualify your child for a full credit of U.S. History. And, it was exciting and enriching. Feel free to follow all of my lesson plans. You can see them all at this link: http://journey2excellence.blogspot.com/search/label/America%3A%20The%20Story%20of%20Us Update: America: The Story of Us is now available as an InstaStream through Netflix! We also had it available at our local library. If you didn't receive a complimentary copy, you won't have to pay the $30 for it! Many of us received a complimentary copy of "...
