NEW! EARTH SCIENCE COURSE FOR MIDDLE GRADES | Literature-Based Approach | Geology and Meteorology

Let me give you a look inside "Discovering Earth's Wonders;" a literature-based guide to studying Earth Science. I created this course for my own children because I couldn't find anything like it for teaching this subject. I have now polished it up so that I can share it with all of you! It uses beautiful, nonfiction information books as its spine, activities and experiments, additional literature (novels, graphic novels, fiction and nonfiction), and linked YouTube videos. This guide is a 1/2 year (or a year, if you like to draw things out like we do) course intended for the middle grades (5th through 8th), but can be adapted up or down depending on how you use it.

It is now available in my Etsy shop (20% off until end of April), on TPT (currently 20% off), and at Buy Me a Coffee (USE Coupon Code EARTH for 20% off). Check out my TPT store to see a FREE 31 page sample that includes the table of contents, introduction, links to all of the books, and 2 weeks of the activity guide to get a feel of what it is like. I'll put all the links below:
