Adapted Biology by Patricia Kasulinous, Full-Year CourseClassroom Set: H-S-AIB-TM, Subscription: H-S-AIB-TM-2, Student Book: H-S-AIB-SA

Note: This material is expected to be ready for shipping in July 2006. Students with special needspose a unique problem for any educator. Creating a class that meets the needs of the individualstudent without becoming exhausted is a challenge for even the most experienced educator. Twoissues often arise when an educator is responsible for the education of a student(s) with specialneeds. One is how to provide individualized instruction to the student and honor their IEP(Individualized Education Plan). Two is where to find material that is appropriate to meet theirspecific needs. The following adapted biology curriculum provides material that is appropriatefor students that are below grade level without losing importantcontent or concepts required by national and state standards.This curriculum also provides a system of instruction for bothself-contained special education classes and inclusion classes.The curriculum provided is designed to provide both structureand flexibility for the educator.

Physics Through Inquiry by Bruce Hughes, Full-Year CourseClassroom Set: H-S-PHYS-TM, Subscription: H-S-PHYS-TM-2, Student Book: H-S-PHYS-SA

Physics Through Inquiry ignites student interest with hands-on activities and builds anunderstanding of physics through engaging lectures and more than 100 demonstrations thatcreate concrete, real-world applications. An easy-to-use pacing guide reduces teacher prep timeand ensures that all applicable national and/or state standards are covered. The daily lesson planis a step-by-step guide to each day’s instruction, including content background and specificteaching strategies to make each day’s instruction a success.

Table of Contents1. Energy, Work, and Force 2. Force, Acceleration, and Velocity 3. Conservation Laws: Energy and Momentum

4. Heat and Matter 5. Periodic Motions: Vibrations and Waves 6. Fields: Electrical, Magnetic and Gravitational 7. Modern Physics: From the Atom to the Universe

Zoology by Steve Pellegrini, One-Semester CourseClassroom Set: H-S-ZOO-TM, Subscription: H-S-ZOO-TM-2, Student Book: H-S-ZOO-SA

Note: This material is expected to be ready for shipping in July 2006. A richly illustrated coursedesigned to take the second year biology student to new levels of understanding about the animalkingdom. Key concepts are reinforced with an abundance of engaging lab activities. Studentswill collect and identify insects, watch birds and keep a birding journal, study animal behavior,culture fruit flies and do a variety of anatomy and physiology lab activities. They will also applystatistical analysis to data they collect. Class notes, laboratory and field activities address manynational, state and local standards. Finally, course materials feature daily lesson plans, labs,demonstrations, a pacing guide, tests with answer keys, a student workbook and alignments witha host of adopted science standards.

Advanced (AP) Physics with Calculus by Art Hovey, Full-Year CourseClassroom Set: H-S-APHY-TM, Subscription: H-S-APHY-TM-2, Student Book: H-S-APHY-SA

Advanced Physics is a second-year course for students who have already had some basic physics(including Newton's laws of motion, momentum and energy conservation, kinetic and potentialenergy, Ohm's equation, and Coulomb's law) and who intend to study science or engineering incollege. Some familiarity with algebra, geometry, simple trigonometry, and scientific notation isnecessary. The emphasis in this course is on discovery; students are led to discover or figure outthe basic laws of physics and their logical consequences.
