Our student notebooks guide middle school students with their note-taking to become more structured, logical, factual, and, most importantly, independent. We use colorful graphics to show the students what materials are important and actively participate with your students as they learn note-taking skills.
Perhaps most importantly, Apologia notebooks provide experimental lab report templates for each experiment listed in the textbook. Templates progress from step-by-step instruction to full student independence.
While there are no tests in our elementary science curriculum, students will begin building confidence in showing their knowledge through testing in middle school. Because test-taking is a learned skill, we gently walk them through that process.
In our 7th grade title, Exploring Creation with General Science, we specifically created the curriculum with open-book tests for the first few modules so that students are slowly introduced to tests and learn how to study and prepare.

“We are using Levels 1 and 2 in our homeschool. My kids never get bored since each lesson uses different manipulatives and activities to teach the concepts. I am so impressed with how well the books are written and especially love using generic manipulatives and household items we already have. My 2nd grader gets easily frustrated when things take too long or are too complicated, so each lesson’s amount of work is perfect for him! It usually takes him about 15-20 minutes per lesson.”

“Hi! I just wanted to say how much I appreciate your spiritual views that combine God’s marvelous works with science! Truly, Apologia has tremendously enhanced my learning experience to pursue a health career since I want to work in the medical field. This is my favorite science; other science companies I have just read and never retained anything. With Apologia, they introduce REAL concepts and help me understand to a great extent! Great job on such amazing books! I will recommend this science to anyone who needs it. Every day I love using this science to learn about all kinds of fields as part of my assignments. Truly a great curriculum. Thanks so much!”

“I know that Apologia is a great college preparation because Alex (my non-scientist son) was able to pass a CLEP in Biology 3 years after taking Apologia Biology at home. And he earned a 4.0 in Engineering Physics in college after taking Apologia Physics. Remember, he is NOT my science major. I made him take that engineering physics at community college with his brother because he was too young to take a class by himself. So he learned well from the books even though he didn’t “love” science. Apologia is GREAT stuff.”
