  The
Color! Unit covers the basics of color theory: primary, secondary and
tertiary colors, plus how to mix and match colors to make a pleasant color
scheme - whether in artistic endeavors, in decorating, or in fashion. It
includes a smattering of history, some
biographical and informational research, Kym’s standard FunSheets with many
hands-on projects and as always, loads of fun for teacher and student. Two
wonderful new features added to this unit are the full-color prints of art
reproductions and samples to explain and illustrate the lessons. And
secondly, the Color! CD containing fine art
reproductions with color scheme samples and more information included. |

available, Kym’s Library Unit Study

All
children love turtles – watching them, feeding them, and looking for them in
the wild. So ... Kym wrote the Turtles! Unit
Study to teach about turtle taxonomy, the difference between
reptiles and amphibians and turtle history. Is there a way to tell the age
of a turtle by its shell? What do they eat and how are they born?
Is a softshell turtle a mistake of nature? These
questions and more are answered, with Kym’s typical detailed lesson plans,
vocabulary list, websites, field trip ideas, resources and books, and fun
for all ages. The neatest part is the
Turtles! CD included, covering opening a
turtle specimen’s shell and dissection. Use it to guide you through your own
dissection, or give credit for virtual dissection! Fascinating, fun and
informative! |

As
our homeschool children turn into preteens and teens, we see a need to help
them learn about the world in preparation for their upcoming lives as
adults: hands-on experiences, to see the poverty, the need, and take part in
bringing hope and healing. Working with established groups, creating your
own, or volunteering individually, there are always opportunities for
service. History, people, field trips, and careers. 4th grade & up. |
