Continuation of Thames & Kosmos Physics Workshop

This is a continuation of the lesson plan that Utilizes Thames and Kosmos Physics Workshop for a complete year of middle school physics. This is a science course I put together using Thames and Kosmos Physics Workshop as our core.   I've added information to this science kit using the Kingfisher Science Encyclopedia, the Usborne Science Encyclopedia Internet Linked, and the Internet in order to make the kit a complete science course.   This course is written to work best for grades 6-8.   You can adjust the expectations to work with your student.
