series can stand alone, \u003cstrong\u003ebut\u003c\/strong\u003e the optimal learning experience will not be attained without the textbooks; however, there are nuances to that answer that deserve explaining. I have no doubt that if the video alone is utilized, your student will receive a most excellent learning experience, equal to\/better than that of the other video-only based middle school chemistry and physics programs out there. The nuance in the answer is that it depends upon what you and your student’s goal is for learning chemistry and physics. If the goal is to ensure a solid experience for someone who struggles with science and isn’t going to pursue too much further learning in the biological or physical sciences, then the video only approach will absolutely achieve that goal. On the other hand, if the student is highly interested in biological\/physical science and\/or wants to pursue it further after this class, then, while the video itself is “complete” in that all of the material in the text is presented in the video, the video alone will not provide adequate ability for the student or teacher to assess the completeness of understanding of the material. I think the ideal way to learn this material is to both read and hear it (students who are challenged with text-based learning often do quite well with the text after watching the information first presented visually), with the text ultimately serving as a ready reference should a question arise (in which case trying to find the relevant material on one of 30+ video clips amassed over more than 20 hours of video will be quite challenging). In addition, the end of chapter questions in the books are designed to test complete mastery of the subject matter (and they are ideally set up for both text-based learners and auditory learners) since they are true-false and short answer questions. This is, by far, the most thorough way to assess your student’s understanding of the material (as opposed to multiple choice or fill in the blank). If the video series is used alone, this valuable knowledge testing resource will be lost. Now, it is true that I have developed multiple choice questions that are integrated into the video series and learning platform but, again, they are really designed as a supplement for, rather than a substitute of, the questions in the text itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003e\u003cbutton type=\"button\" aria-controls=\"panel-01\" aria-expanded=\"false\"\u003e How are creation and evolution handled? \u003c\/button\u003e\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd id=\"panel-01\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince these are science courses that were written by a Christian, probably the most common question I am asked is, “What about evolution and creation?” The answer really starts and ends with the Bible. It is the unerring Word of God and, as such, provides the framework upon which everything is understandable, including science. As such, all Science Shepherd material is presented from a literal understanding of Genesis, teaching that God created the universe and everything in it in 6 literal, 24-hour days, about 6,000 years ago. Now, why evolution in Christian-based courses? It is important to cover evolution and some basic principles because our children will be constantly bombarded with it throughout their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003ca id=\"preview\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/pages\/faq\" title=\"Homeschool science FAQs\"\u003eAdditional FAQs . . .\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Science Shepherd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44615657783379,"sku":"Prev-FundCombined","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/0319\/files\/free-homeschool-chemistry-and-physics-preview-science-shepherd-min.jpg?v=1778780849","url":"https:\/\/scienceshepherd.com\/products\/free-homeschool-chemistry-and-physics-preview","provider":"Science Shepherd Homeschool Curriculum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
