Sequence of Units for High School

The high school sequence allows the most freedom for students.  They can choose between the 15 unit course on horses, the complete 18 unit course on Forensic Science, the 10 week series on the Solar System (grade 9), or the advanced biology units which cover topics in a typical high school biology course.

Note about Forensic Science:  The complete course is intended for 11^th or 12^th graders and is NOT all interactive.  Parents download a workbook/textbook and the parent guide.  Students read the text and complete the workbook pages for each unit.  Online activities are also included as supplements.  Many students in middle school complete the first 10 units with no problem, but less mature students might have an issue with the autopsy unit and the toxicology units near the end of the course.

Parents should spend about a week on each topic – adding in relevant non-fiction and fiction books, the online resources, and the optional digital PDF worksheets that are included in the K-12 subscription or which can be purchased from CurrClick Here.

Subscribers can click the links to access the individual pages. Non-subscribers can learn more about the 6-12  Unit Study Subscription here or purchase it here.  Parents interested in getting all the digital workbooks included and have students that span several grade levels might consider the full K-12 Unit Study subscription.  Learn more about it here or purchase it here.
