How to Get the Most Out of This Course:

  • Order the electronic book by emailing athomescience@gmail.com; the cost is $5.50.

  • Read through the syllabus and all the course details below.

  • Prepare a notebook just for this course for notetaking and labs.

  • Complete each lesson:

  1. Read corresponding lesson in the ebook (for example, Chapter 1, Lesson 1).

  2. Next, click on the "Recording" and watch Mrs. Correira's lecture for that lesson.  A file containing the lesson slides is also included.

  3. Explore the Internet sites provided (these are optional unless otherwise specified)

  4. If you need review, go back and watch the recording again and/or go over the slides.

  5. Complete the homework and submit it to your grader; this should be done before taking the quiz.

  6. Complete the open-book quiz (you may use your notes, the lecture slides, and the book while taking the quiz.)  Grade can be viewed online when the quiz is completed.

  • Repeat until all 12 classes are complete. Note that Class 6 and 12 are open-book exams so those classes have no lecture or homework. Optional Internet links are provided to help review for the exam.

  • Once the course is completed to the parent's satisfaction, there is a Certificate of Completion at the end to be filled in for your records.
