As promised, you can find December’s Unit Plans here. Or just click on the page “Free Monthly Unit Plans” at the top of the homepage. 
This month have fun learning about Mexican culture and the poinsettia plant!
Starting with the month of December, I am going to offer free monthly homeschool unit plans here on hip2homeschool.com! I will post them ahead of time so that you have a chance to work them into your homeschool schedule.
If there are any thematic ideas that you’d like to see featured here on hip2homeschool please share in the comments below.
Look for more next week.
I just ordered my kit for our homeschool group! I’ve heard that this is a lot of fun. Register now because they have a limited number.
PhysicsQuest 2011: Spectra Heats Up!
REGISTER NOW FOR YOUR FREE KIT
Sign up to receive a FREE PhysicsQuest kit. Students will do experiments relating to heat and temperature as they try and help Spectra solve the mystery of Tesla Junior HighÂ’s mysterious weather. Kits contain all the materials needed to do 4 fun and exciting physics experiments as well as a manual and comic book. As the students complete the activities they will be learning the physics they need to save the world, or at least Tesla Junior High. There are a limited number of kits so sign up now!
A few weeks into their second year at Tesla Junior High the gang realizes things are really changing, well, the temperature at least. Why is Lucy’s pool too hot to handle? Snowed in in the middle of September? No one can figure out what is going on. On top of all this physics confusion, Lucy is being harassed by the newest student at Tesla Junior High, Tiffany Maxwell. Could she be behind the odd things happening or is Lucy just blaming her because she is trying to steal her spot on the relay team? Is she just a typical “mean girl” or is there more to her than her well-manicured nails, high-heeled boots and a sharp tongue? Join Lucy Hene (aka Spectra) and her gang as they once again use their physics knowledge to save the world, or at least Tesla Junior High.
