Time4Learning presents a logical and sequential approach to teaching social studies. This approach ensures that children cover the material required by many state standards and that appropriate review is built in from grade to grade.
Seventh and eighth grade social studies are combined, with students rounding out their social studies curriculum with an in-depth study of American history from colonization to the Clinton administration.
The Time4Learning program combines illustration, animation, real pictures, audio, text, video and embedded simulations in multimedia online lessons and activities. It also combines math and writing skills in cross-curricular activities that are completed both on and offline. There are 106 lessons in the social studies curriculum, including the following units of study:
- The Age of Exploration
- English Colonization
- American Revolution Causes
- The American Revolution
- Creation of US Government
- Early Years of the Republic
- Age of Jefferson
