Notes
- If you need to consider the reading level of the living books used, please note that the two easiest are Weather and Magnets. The hardest of them are Machines, Geology, Chemistry, and Waves. Remember that this does not affect the quality of the material to be learned, so don’t shy away from the “easier” ones just because your student is a strong reader.
- If your child is apprehensive about science for some reason, begin with a subject they are most interested in.
- Sample Student Notebooks: Science Notebooks & Nature Notebooks
- None of the Form 2 guides contain religious material and any chapters in the books that explain the world’s creation are skipped at this level. For more information, read the article Secular Living Science Curriculum.
