Some home schools may be interested in the software but, again, the work requires some group activity. You are guided along by a series of activities and questions. Everything is simple to understand and so easy to follow. There are short videos, slides and questions relating to these items. The study is based on a small town.
Students proceed only by completing a section, and then progressing to the next one.
All materials required to complete an activity are clearly listed, all that the students need to do is to prepare those materials and to think. There is a supportive manual which lists all the required work sheets and which lists all questions to be answered. This manual goes hand in hand with the scientific activities that are undertaken by the groups. There is no need to install the CD, and thus waste hard drive memory. The programs runs off the CD and with absolute ease.
