General Science

♦ My Apologia Science Review.  
♦ Homeschooler's Resources (My other blog) VIDEOS & more, corresponding to each module.
♦ Apologia General Science Read 1st Module, table of contents, lab supplies list. 
♦ DonnaYoung.org bookmarks, schedule, other printables 
♦ Apologia's Knowledge Base.  Click All Categories to choose a Module.  
♦ Summary of our Schedule 
♦ Apologia Science - the books, CD's, etc.  What are they, and which ones are necessary?
♦ Play Quizlet.  Just scroll down and click the Module you want.  

Lab Reports:
♦ Sample Science Lab Report for 1st experiment in General Science (Although the supply list is omitted in this example, I suggest having your child include it in all lab reports.  It's a good habit that won't need to be changed next year.).

♦ Science Lab Report breakdown/explanation
♦ Why keep a Lab Notebook?  Excellent!  I let my students read this.
♦ The Scientific Method. Hypothesis, theory, law... You must always offer evidence to support your statements...

♦ Donna Young's link for General Science.  Note the "Lab Book & Grades" and the "Worksheets and Study Aids" tabs at the top, plus a few more. 

Under the Worksheets tab you'll find printables for the scientists that are studied in Module 1, with blank lines for writing facts about each scientist.

Also, don't miss the skeletal bones and the digestive system diagrams to label.


You can click on the Lesson Plan links for 1st or 2nd Edition.
You can use hers, or use it as an idea how to make your own.
I really like the vocabulary bookmarks (found under the Lesson Plans).  I print them out and punch holes on the right side, so the kids can put them in binders, cutting them off on the left side as we need them.

Don't miss the "Comments" tab where she has written some tips, including the fact that Module 1 is considered tough by some.  I think it's mainly because it's long, and has a lot of history about scientists.  The student is tested on many of these.  Most advise taking an extra week for Module 1.
There are a couple more tabs as well as other links.  Just browse and bookmark!  =)
