Did you pick up the free Olympics Printables I posted yesterday??
Today I have another great Olympics resource for you!
One lucky reader will win the NEW Winter Games 2014 Unit Study by Amanda Bennett! It is available for $10.95.
I haven’t gotten to take a look at it yet (since it’s not released), BUT we love Unit Studies by Amanda Bennett, and frequently incorporate them into our homeschooling. I have no doubt that this unit study will live up to the awesomeness that are Amanda Bennett unit studies!
Here is the lowdown of what this unit study is all about:
The story of the Olympics is so rich in history, geography, science, fascinating ideas, and events. When learning about the Olympics, you will see the important role that science plays in the games—laws of physics coming in direct conflict with the wonderful bodies that God created for each of us. The deep and personal commitment of the athletes to achieve their best performance, their faith, concentration, endless training, and reaching out to help each other—all of these are lessons in the importance of goal-setting, persistence, and personal values for students of all ages.
With thousands of athletes contending, the events, countries, and personal stories of the competitors can be overwhelming. It will be well worth the study for those families interested in history, countries of the world, sports, and human abilities. As you study the Olympics with your family, try to focus on some of the following areas, depending on the ages and interests of your children:
- History of the ancient Olympics
- Science and the laws of physics in sports
- Sports and the human body
- World geography, both ancient and modern
- World politics and its influence on international sports
