If your students prefer to work at their own pace, or if they'd like to receive instruction from an expert, they will find this format helpful this school year.
Introductory Physics is ideal for the "physics first" high school science program, which places a physics-based course in the freshman year. We believe physics logically belongs at the start of the high school science sequence because it includes so many foundational skills and concepts that chemistry and biology studies can build upon later.
Introductory Physics is ideal for the "physics first" high school science program, which places a physics-based course in the freshman year. But this book contains two optional chapters with more challenging math content (Pressure and Buoyancy, and Geometric Optics) and can be used in a 10th or 11th grade course as well.
The Arctic - one of the world's harshest environments, has been home to the Inuit for over 5,000 years. Their traditional culture, based on hunting and gathering, has enabled the Inuit to survive in a cold land. Inuit means "the people".
A classic living science book used by Charlotte Mason!
Follow Jack and Maggie into the fascinating world of insects! When Jack receives a book for his birthday, he and his sister suddenly find themselves inside it, living the natural history. Learn from their adventures as they question a butterfly, narrate to a spider, go underground with a cicada, anger a wasp, attend a katydid concert, hear a candle fly’s court case, go airborne with some fireflies, sail with a raft-spider, and more.
This unique book, used in Charlotte Mason’s PNEU schools, has been out of print and almost impossible to find. We are pleased to bring this valuable resource back into circulation for another generation to enjoy.
Charlotte Mason Recommended—Originally published in 1910, Jack’s Insects is a classic living science book that Charlotte Mason used in her schools. Records indicate that she recommended it for children in Form II (grades 4–6).
Living Science—In true Charlotte Mason style, fascinating facts about insects are couched in a living story. You’ll learn about butterflies, caterpillars, plague locusts, carding bees, cicadas, katydids, and more, and from the (often opinionated) insects themselves. (Oh, yes, these insects are quite the characters!)
Original Illustrations—J. A. Shepherd created more than forty-four pen and ink drawings to illustrate the story of Jack’s Insects. We have tried to preserve the integrity of these original illustrations, presenting them as they appeared in the early 1900’s edition, including their hand-drawn border lines.
The corresponding Narration and Nature Study Notebook will add many more learning opportunities for your student!
Looking for the sequel? Our research has indicated that the sequel, Jack’s Other Insects is simply the last ten chapters of Jack’s Insects published as a separate book. So as far as we know, this reprint of Jack’s Insects contains all the chapters from both books.
Make your child’s adventure with Jack and Maggie even more exciting!
Now you can expand on the adventures described in the living science book Jack’s Insects. In this comprehensive Narration & Nature Study Notebook you will find leading narration questions, pre-screened websites and book suggestions, plus lots of nature study ideas that correspond with the chapters in Jack’s Insects.
In this self-directed study, your child will
Recall more details about each episode.—The leading narration questions encourage the student to give a full retelling of what took place in each chapter of Jack’s Insects.
Learn more about the insects in the book.—We recommend several interesting and pre-screened websites and books to encourage your student to develop his own relation with each insect he reads about.

Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë is a first person narration of the life of Jane, the eponymous heroine. Having been orphaned at a young age, Jane must live with her emotionally abusive aunt and bullying cousins. Eventually sent to Lowood school for orphaned girls, Jane is again mistreated by apathetic management at the institution until the abuses are discovered and benefactors help improve the school. Having overcome the difficulties of her childhood, Jane leaves Lowood to serve as a governess for a young French girl at Thornfield Hall. In her new post, Jane is employed by the mysterious and brooding Mr. Rochester. Thornfield Hall is as strange as its master, and Jane begins to notice odd noises and unexplained occurrences. Despite the strangeness of her new situation, Jane begins to develop a deep affection for Mr. Rochester. However, when Jane discovers the truth behind the mysteries of Thornfield Hall she seems destined to be forever separated from her beloved Rochester. Jane Eyre beautifully illustrates the power of the Christian faith to overcome hardship, the tenacity of holy love, the struggle to resist temptation, and the joy which comes through obedience, patience, and hope. The Jane Eyre Student Study Guide increases the student’s vocabulary and reading comprehension by providing in-depth vocabulary study, reading notes, comprehension questions, and more.
