Cross Curricular Science Program Introduced at Midwest Homeschool Convention

Curriculum supplement makes science as foundation for learning other subjects

Albuquerque, NM -- Dr. Rebecca W. Keller, author, publisher, and CEO of Gravitas Publications, Inc. discusses her cross curricular approach to education at the Midwest Homeschool Convention March 27-29 in Cincinnati, Ohio.

"Children learn the essential concepts of science with Real Science-4-Kids, and now Kogs-4-Kids™ enhances learning with depth of subject, staged repetition and connections to language, history, philosophy, technology and the arts," said Dr. Keller.

Dr. Keller formed Gravitas Publication in 2001 to publish a science series for grades K through nine. Since that time the curriculum has been used in all 50 states as well as a number of foreign countries.

During this weekend's convention, Dr. Keller discusses "Teaching Science in Context," a system that explores how science connects with other subjects. In keeping with her theme, Gravitas recently introduced Kogs-4-Kids, a supplement to the RS4K series; six workbooks connect Level I Chemistry to language, history, philosophy, technology, the arts and critical thinking.

MHC attendees can also hear Dr. Keller's presentation "Help! How to Prepare Your Student for High School or College Science." In this presentation Dr. Keller discusses the foundational materials students need as building blocks to grasp a broad scientific knowledge and how these materials offer more effectiveness than a traditional approach to elementary science education.

A third presentation, "Reclaiming Science for God," presents a framework for thinking outside the philosophy of Naturalism and looking at how science points toward and not away from a divine Creator.

Gravitas Publications, Inc. produces educational materials that provide a framework for understanding science with Real Science-4-Kids, a textbook series for elementary and mid-school students and Kogs-4-Kids, a cross-curricular module that connects science to other subjects. RS4K and Kogs-4-Kids are written and published by Rebecca W. Keller, PhD. For more information go to http://www.gravitaspublications.com.
