3NOEO CHEMISTRY 1 INSTRUCTOR’S GUIDE
Introduction: Welcome to Noeo
Welcome to Noeo Science! Thank you for trusting us to provide you with quality ma-
terials for teaching science at home. We understand that many homeschooling parents
do not have a science background and may feel a bit intimidated about teaching sci-
ence . . . especially when it comes to the experiments! Our books and experiments have
been carefully selected to be of the highest quality available, yet simple enough for
even the most science-phobic teachers and students. We intensely searched through
library catalogs, websites, and hundreds of books before deciding on what we believe
are the “best-of-the-best.” We hope that you will agree and we’re always open to your
comments and suggestions.
Our Instructor’s Guides provide a logical, focused progression through the books
and experiments. Each week you will nd an overview of what your student will
learn as well as an answer key for the student lab manual reading and experiment
questions. Multiple sources of information are used to teach each science topic. How-
ever, you won’t need to spend your time searching for books or cross-checking index-
es to make the curriculum ow. That work has been done for you!
The Noeo MethodThe Noeo Method
You will nd that the Noeo Science curriculum is different from all the rest. Each year
of science will ll your child with wonder and excitement as they build a strong foun-
dational knowledge of science. They’ll be having so much fun that the learning will
come naturally for them . . . and painlessly for you.
Noeo Science is variety-lled, with a structure that is best described as a balance
between the classical method and the Charlotte Mason approach. We emphasize narra-
tion and summarization, vocabulary development, observation, and the scientic meth-
od. We do not promote rote memorization or tests, as we think that this approach is less
valuable for long-term retention. The following table illustrates these characteristics:
