We use Fabre's Book of Insects, King Solomon's Ring by Konrad Lorenz and Nature Drawing. In this course the student will read the observations and experiments of renowned naturalists. The student then prepares a semester long project of his own in which he will make a hypothesis, observe an animal, conduct experiments, and draw conclusions based upon his observations. The Natural Science Syllabus has a day-by-day breakdown of this course along with discussion questions, a list of natural history projects, and a variety of teaching resources including Tenth Grade Subject Rubrics, Learning Objectives, and grading charts. This is a 1 year, 1 credit course.
