Apologia: General Science (7th grade)

When transitioning from elementary to middle school, the jump can be steep in a few areas. To help with this transition in science I had my son choose whatever elementary Apologia book he wanted and complete it on his own in 6th grade. Previous to that, science was a subject I taught to all my children at one time, using the method of reading out loud from a text, discussion and experiments. He chose Astronomy and this proved to be a great decision as it gave him a taste of following a lesson plan independent of me.
