Is this a Full Unit or Mini Unit? Antarctica is a Full Unit. Our Full Units are 20 lessons long and designed to take 4-6 weeks to complete. The Student Notebooks from Early Reader and up have 5 pages per day and are designed to cover all your subjects other than math. Mini Units are often shorter in length or in output and while they do have crossover into multiple subjects, they are more focused and intentional on the topic of the unit. They also tend to be more hands-on with less written output. Some families alternate Full Units with Mini Units while others do them alongside one another.
What is this unit about? Our Antarctica Unit focuses on the historical discovery and the scientific studies that have happened on this continent. Throughout this unit, students will be creating their own expedition journal, recounting their adventures or imagining what it would be like to be an explorer. They will be reciting Joshua chapter 1, Joshua's commission, and connecting how God has commissioned us to walk into the calling He has on our lives.
They will be learning about meteorology, geography, history, technology, and so much more! Make an optional timeline with the beautiful, hand painted timeline figures (found in the accompanying Teacher's Guide purchase) and learn more about our southernmost continent, Gather 'Round style!
