Books required: Exploring Creation With Marine Biology 2nd edition, a Solutions and Test Manual, Apologia Marine Biology Student Notebook.
Course Description: This lab course concentrates on marine wildlife and marine habitats. It provides a survey of members of each biological kingdom that live in marine environments. The student will learn about the microscopic organisms that make life in the ocean possible, including details about their interesting habits and life cycles. This lab course will include experimentation, dissection (Clam, Sea star (starfish), Dogfish shark, Natural sponge and Non-living coral specimen) and microscopy. The lab grade counts for ⅓ of the overall Marine Biology grade. Students need to have read through the experiment prior to the lab. The student’s lab grade will be based on weekly lab reports, quizzes and lab participation. Lab assignments will be submitted electronically to the instructor via google classroom. See google classroom for the grading rubric and expectations for each lab report. You are responsible for labs when you are absent from class. Communicate with the lab teacher concerning any make-up labs within 24 hours of a missed class. Tests and other “at-home work” are graded by the parent and make up the remaining 2/3 of the course grade. Students read the modules at home and parents grade all text work (tests, study guides, on-your-own questions). Students are expected to keep up pace with the “at home work” per lab schedule. It is the responsibility of the student to check google classroom for updates and posted grades. Assignments not turned in will be marked with a “0” until they are submitted. If you see an assignment marked as a “0” and feel it is in error, it is your responsibility to communicate with the teacher. Late assignments will drop 1 letter grade each week they are late. If a student chooses to resubmit their lab report, they may do so no later than one week from the original due date of the assignment. They may earn up to half of the points that were lost in the report’s first submission. Late reports are not eligible for resubmission. The lab schedule may change throughout the semester per teacher discretion.

Parents are required to purchase the textbook: Psychology: A Christian Perspective (Copyright 2011 & 2015 edition).

We will study modern psychology’s core philosophical assumptions: naturalism, behaviorism, humanism, evolutionism, empiricism, moral relativism, and reductionism. The goal for our study of psychology, just like the study of biology, theology, history, and every other discipline, is to understand God’s creation. We will have class discussions, homework assignments, tests, and two projects.

Grades: 9-10
Monthly Cost: $40
Material Fee: $30
Pre-requisites: None
Supplies and Books required:
Course Description: The Lightbearers Homeschool curriculum is designed to help high school students clearly understand the tenets of the Christian worldview, and how they compare to that of the leading humanistic worldviews of our day. Students will learn how to apply their Christian faith to every area of life: theology, philosophy, ethics, biology, sociology, psychology, law, politics, economics, and history. Some of the issues covered include abortion, apologetics, cults, evolution, feminism, homosexuality, naturalism, moral relativism, pluralism, relationships, socialism, and many more! By the end of this course, the student will become self-aware of their own personal worldview, as well as properly articulate all facets of their Christian faith. They will be fully equipped to apologetically defend the truths of the Gospel, and battle against the vain, fruitless teachings of worldly philosophy. The topics discussed are challenging, and the confidence in Christ they will gain is invaluable as we will all seek to cement our trust in Christ as the only solid foundation on which we stand.
**The 9th and 10th Grade Worldview course will contain a smaller workload than that given for the 11th and 12th grade class, and grading will be slightly more lenient as they are just starting to produce coursework at High School standard level. Nevertheless, I have the highest expectations of them, and will push them to grow!

Monthly Cost: $45
Materials Fee: $35
Required for parent to purchase: There will be a minimal fee to cover the cost of each actor’s costume. At show time, tickets will be $7. T-shirts will be an optional purchase.
Course Description: Do you enjoy acting, singing, and performing? Are you ready to take your skills to the next level as you prepare for high school? The High School Musical Theatre class is a performance based course in which students will spend the year preparing to produce a full-length Broadway musical (to be announced at a later date) while focusing on honing their performance skills and growing as actors. We will rehearse on Fridays from 11:00-3:00 at Northwood Baptist Church. Auditions will be required and will take place in August prior to the start of the semester. Each student must present a monologue as well as a song from a musical. Students must use accompaniment for their song.
Rehearsal time is valuable. Because it is our aim to produce a show of the highest caliber, the class will require commitment and participation from each student and parent. Please plan to be at every rehearsal, as every actor plays an important part in creating the whole show. Students and parents will be asked to sign a commitment form and join the official Facebook group for the class.
There will be extra Saturday rehearsals in the spring that will be mandatory. Performances will be in May 2023.
You MUST get special permission to register for musical theatre classes! Please email Jenny Stauffer at stauff1@yahoo.com for interest and questions. Registration information will be sent privately to those who get a slot. Don’t wait to contact us…these classes fill up quickly!
Beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, we acknowledge there are now similar local programs available; we therefore need to emphasize the commitment level required for SHEEP’s year-long performance-based theatre group. Students and parents - whether junior, intermediate or high school - need to recognize and understand the requirement to refrain from committing to another non-SHEEP full-year performance-based theatre group. This keeps us all from scheduling conflicts in the spring, allows more students to participate in local homeschool theatre groups, and reflects our overall desire to have excellent theatre productions. We encourage each family to pray about participation and follow God’s leading in making this decision. Thank you for understanding. We are happy to answer any questions (stauff1@yahoo.com).
