Come learn all about Transportation! We have found the largest, the loudest, the meanest, the baddest, the most expensive, the fastest, and the strangest transportation in the world and put it together in one fascinating unit! This unit includes (as always) amazing illustrations and daily life skills including things like learning how to test your tire pressure or fill up with air, etc. They will be learning about the difference between gasoline and diesel, hydraulics vs. pneumatics, surface area, the parts of a circuit, and so much more! History is tied in, as they learn about transportation of the past and some incredible stories. Social studies tie-ins include relevant events current to our world such as the impact of something like a world-wide pandemic on tourism or airlines. We have amazing art lessons with step-by-step drawings and even a watercolor lesson!
What to buy? You will need to purchase a physical workbook for each child as well as a Teacher's Guide for yourself. The Teacher's Guides contain all the actual teaching, they are not just for answers, so they are critical to your lessons. Printed books are printed on 32lb. paper and are shipped to you coil-bound.
How long are units designed to last? Each unit is designed to be 4-5 weeks. Our main units and most of our mini units include 20 lessons and can be done as a 4-day school week (lasting 5 weeks) or a 5-day school week (lasting 4 weeks) to offer flexibility. You're in control! Set a schedule that works best for your family and your pace will dictate how quickly you complete any given unit.
