My daughter has friends who are public schooled and home schooled. All her friends made positive comments on her (Steps) course.  One of her public schooled friends asks every visit to see what is new in the science notebook.  She says my daughter “gets to learn so much more” than she ever learns. K.O., Homeschool Mom

Science for Step 4 students, ages 11-adult. 

Making use of Steps unique approach to current events, guided research, the student discovers for himself what is happening in every key science today.

Geology, Oceanography, Meteorology, Chemistry, Biology, Medicine, Astronomy, Physics - every day, there are new discoveries, in almost every science.  While our science courses are pretty great, they could not catch the student up on changes in the sciences - until now!

The student is introduced to changes that had occurred within days of the authoring of this course, in each science.  Then, the student is provided with specific tools to locate (access to the Internet is a must!) the newest and brightest changes in each science right now - whenever "right now" happens to be!  These discoveries are followed by exercises which develop critical thinking skills, and which help the student to "own" the new information.

About a half semester of study, a course with 27 lesson plans, anywhere from 50-100 hours of work depending on the student.  Tests and answer guides included.

This course can be done as a stand alone course, but would work best done in sequence with our other Step 4 Science courses, following Step 4 Science 7.

Just wanted to say thanks once again! My DS14 has gone from 'hating' school science to now being fascinated and actually considering aiming for a career in zoology eventually! For a kid who had no goals at all as far as further education he's now excited when he talks about working with animals in the future. Your science curriculum has shown him that science doesn't need to be boring and dry. We now have big long discussions about all kinds of scientific theories and chemical reactions. A.R., Homeschool Mom

I really learned a lot on this course. I also had fun on it. I especially started winning at this course toward the end where I learned more about science than I ever could have in public school. This is a great course and I can't wait to start the next one! C.G., Student, Age 12

Before I didn't really like doing science, so I was falling behind. Now I love science and it is so much fun. I get a lot done and I will be one of the first to finish! This curriculum is so awesome, you get so much more out of it than you would with anything else.   J.C., 15 year-old student
