This full-year homeschool curriculum examines the history, geography, cultures, governments, and economies of ancient Egypt, Israel, India, and China. Through colorful student worktexts, your child will investigate the people, events, ideas, and achievements that helped shape some of the world's most influential civilizations. Lessons combine reading, vocabulary development, writing activities, discussion, and hands-on projects to help students move beyond memorizing facts and develop a deeper understanding of historical events and cultural developments.

The accompanying Instructor Guide provides lesson support, answer keys, teaching suggestions, and assessments. Together, the worktexts and guide create an open-and-go program that is easy to implement while still providing meaningful social studies instruction. Designed specifically for homeschool families, Discover!
