Features of PACWORKS Natural Science Mysteries
- Gifted students can benefit by using the course earlier than the suggested grade level.
- It helps to “accelerate” students who are working below grade level.
- Your student will learn to read for content and to find answers to different types of questions.
- Question types include true and false, multiple choice, fill in the blank, and short sentence answers.
- Each lesson has a motivational story that involves something to be learned in the science lesson.
- Our boys enjoyed using this course. Customers tell us their sons like it, too.
- Each Paradigm course is formatted in the same manner.
- If your student does well with one Paradigm course, he will probably like the others, too.
- Most question occur in the same order as they are found in the text.
- Each question is phrased from the text which is the old-fashioned way that worked.
- It’s a beautiful way to teach homeschool students who haven’t used a textbook approach.
- It is available as a full course kit with the text, activities and teacher’s Resource Key in print or as a digital download.
- For example, if your student was homeschooled with unit study or literature-based studies, then Paradigm courses are very helpful.
