The 14 year-old is a late 9th grader - starting 10th grade in the fall. As we finish everything this month, we have planned for (hopefully) the next calendar year. Also, keep in mind that we school year-round.
She basically told me what she wanted to study and I put together a plan for her. She also said she wants us to do a lot of this together - in other words, she doesn't want to sit alone in her room and do this independently.
Math
- Mathusee Geometry - we are continuing with Mathusee
- Geometry enrichment stuff
- I have a couple of enrichment geometry books. One is how to read blueprints and you design your own house. You also design a playground. Another book shows you how to do all kinds of things with circles.
- Horrible Maths - we are going to do the geometry book for fun
English/Language Arts
- Easy Grammar's 10th Grade Workbook (she needs a grammar review)
- Word Teasers: SAT Words
- One word per day - spelling, definition, use the word in a sentence
Literature
- Sonlight 230 - the old version. This is basically British Literature or Classic Literature. We are going to read these books together and do the writing assignments
History
- She asked to study British History. So far, I have Great Tales from English History (Robert Lacey). I'll add more resources over time.
Bible
- Continue reading through the entire Bible
Science: Biology and Astronomy
- We are going to spend the next two years alternating between biology and astronomy. She asked to do biology first, so we will spend a couple of months on that and then work on astronomy.
- Ellen McHenry's Protozoa - we are starting with this. It's a book and activity guide for learning about microscopic organisms
German
- Continue German Demystified
Art & Music
- Nature drawing
- I'm still looking for ideas on these two
Technology
- My daughter and another homeschooled teen are going to get together once a week and start working on robotics together. I'm looking at buying Lego Mindstorms' Robot Inventor.
