Novare Earth Science

[pickandgrin]

Anyone already own this book and the Resource CD? I'm curious if the print-outs are just like the Physical Science ones with help answering the discussion questions from the chapters and computation answers on quizzes, but not the written answers for the quizzes? We are offering this next year in our cottage school and parents are going to need assistance with quiz answers beyond the computation problems.

Can someone from MP let me know if you all are working on any materials beyond lesson plans for this and would you consider producing answer keys for the written quiz questions? Downloads I can print would be fabulous. I know they are "basically" answered in other places, but I would love it all in one place. Even bullet points would help; they don't have to be finely crafted paragraphs.

This request would apply to the Physical Science quizzes as well. I know it's not hard, but with multiple students I just can't go deep with all the new studies for my oldest each year. He's too fast and I'm too slow.

Jessica, I have the book and resource CD and it does look like the Physical Science one. There are guides for the verbal answers, but the only quizzes with answer keys seem to be those with math on them: 5, 9, 14, and 23.

It would be great to have answer keys! We are beginning Earth Science right now, and going at an easy pace ... would it be permissible to share any answer keys we make ourselves, or would that violate a copyright? (not sure we will make an answer key, but if we could share it that would help motivate me!)

Hello.

We can't really make an answer key for Novare. That would be something to contact them about. If enough people let them know the need, I feel like they will meet it.

Re: Novare Earth Science

Great idea, Tanya. I'll drop them an email.

Thanks, Tanya, for this idea -- I'll try to shoot them an e-mail, too.

Re: Novare Earth Science

No need, Ana! I've got good news. This is already available on their tips & tools onedrive account. I can post the link next week when I get home. Out of town for a few days.

I've seen the onedrive resources before but didn't realize there was an answer key there so I looked again after Jessica's post. Here's the link: https://onedrive.live.com/?authkey=%...211118&o=OneUp

Re: Novare Earth Science

Oh, I'd not seen the onedrive materials; thanks for the heads-up, Jessica; and Jen, thanks for getting the link out right away! This will be so helpful to us!

Re: Novare Earth Science

Thank you, Jennifer. I do think, upon reflection, that this link may not be intended to be shared publicly. Does it contain all the information that's on their resource CD which is an item for sale? I'm not able to double check at this time. We want to do right by them, of course. It should be available to anyone who's purchased the resource CD, but maybe the directions need to be to email Novare to get it?

FYI-the OneDrive account is just more complete than the CDs since they are frozen in time and the Drive account is not. The Drive documents include appended quiz answers, whereas the CD file did not include them.

Not sure how MP would like us to handle this...

Novare has this link on their website publicly so I'm sure it isn't an issue for people to use it: https://www.novarescienceandmath.com/extras/tips-tools/

Personally I don't know if those folders include all the material that is on the CDs plus additional things, or if it is just the additional things that will eventually be added to the CDs.

Thank you for clearing that up, Paul!

Yep, I don't own anything from Novare (yet!) and only posted because the link is publicly available and well advertised on their site's navigation menu.

Jennifer, I know you are very conscientious! Didn't intend to imply otherwise in my previous question. Posting from my phone and not being very thorough-should have added that caveat.

Oh gosh! No worries at all, lol
