SMH’s Form 3-4 Living Science Guides (grades 7-9) will provide your students with a strong foundation in the general and physical sciences. They are geared to be completed by your student alone, with teacher assistance and accountability given as needed. If your child has not already fallen in love with science, now is the time to begin applying Charlotte Mason’s natural way to learn this subject.

Suggested Two Year Plan

• Biology or Botany (1 day a week, all year, both years)
• Other science topics taken term by term (3 days a week, possible rotation below)

Sample Weekly Schedule
Biology will continue term after term, but chemistry would be replaced by another subject next term. This schedule will allow you to focus your attention and your experiments on just two subjects each term.

Notes

• If you need to consider the reading level of the books, please note that the three easiest are Chemistry, Geology, and Physics. The hardest is Astronomy.
• If you would like to consider other Scheduling possibilities including Charlotte Mason’s own plan or a more traditional school plan read Scheduling High School Science.
• For more information about biology through the years, read High School Biology Notes.
• Sample Student Notebooks:  Science Notebooks & Nature Notebooks
• When the Form 3-4 guides contain religious material, a secular version is offered for purchase. For more information, read the article Secular Living Science Curriculum.
