Mystery of History Vol. 3: The Renaissance, The Reformation and The Growth of Nations
Watch history unfold while you meet rulers, painters, sculptors, scientists, and philosophers.

In addition to the text material, plentiful illustrative information (maps, charts, art reproductions, and lots of photos) is also included. Key historical people and events (with dates to memorize) include Christopher Columbus, Leonardo da Vinci, Martin Luther, Henry the VIII, Elizabeth I, William the Silent and the Dutch Revolt, William Shakespeare, Founding of Jamestown, Pilgrims at Plymouth, Louis the XIV, Sir Isaac Newton, and Peter the Great. This text includes the Protestant Reformation (the history, doctrinal and theological disagreements, and heroes from both the Catholic and Protestant groups) and the consequences of this movement.

Writing & Grammar
Institute for Excellence in Writing:Wonders of Science
Students will write about science-themed topics such as insects, inventions, and famous scientists while they learn to write with Structure and Style.
Easy Grammar Level 5 or Level 6
Students learn grammar faster and easier when they're actually writing and editing texts; this hands-on approach to grammar is just one of the reasons why Easy Grammar is so successful. Utilizing the prepositional approach, students memorize prepositions to then eliminate from sentences, making finding the noun and verb much easier. Concepts are reviewed and introduced throughout the school year; this, accompanied with reviews helps to ensure engaged, mastery learning for all elementary aged children.

Apologia Exploring Creation with Anatomy and Physiology
All creation is awe-inspiring, but the work of the human body, created in the very image of God, is especially jaw-dropping! This study of anatomy and physiology showcases the intricacy and design of the human body, from DNA and cell creation to the skeletal, muscular, digestive, respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous/endocrine, immune, and intergumentary systems. Integrated with health and nutrition information, as well as plenty of scripture and biblical application, this complete guide to the human body is written in an enjoyable, conversational tone that will keep kids engaged. Experiments, notebooking assignments, narration, and a "personal person project" provide interaction with concepts outside of reading, and help to solidify understanding.
