Unit studies
A unit study lets the whole family learn one topic together, week by week, with separate activities for younger and older children and a project to finish at the end. Each unit below has a weekly plan, discussion questions and a closing project.
Pick by what your family is curious about now, or by the calendar.
Each unit gives activities for ages 5 to 8 and for ages 9 to 13, so a family with children of different ages can work on one topic together. Religious accounts are attributed to the named sources listed at the foot of each unit.
