For more on unit studies, click on the links to these recent articles from The Old Schoolhouse® Magazine:

• Unit Studies and Science! (By teaching science this way, your children just may develop a passion that becomes a lifelong career in science.) 
• Science Unit Studies Using Literature (Books can be used not only for science and nature activities but for language arts, reading, social studies, math, music, art, and even physical education.) 
• Homeschooling Multiple Grades Is a Blessing (How can one possibly homeschool a kindergartener, a fourth grader, and a high schooler all at the same time?) 
• Ice Cream: A Unit Study (Wouldn’t it be great if you could get the kids inspired to learn about ice cream in all the curriculum areas?) 
• How and Why to Do a Math Unit Study (Why can’t math be as cool as the other subjects and get to sit at the center as the star of a unit study?) 
• Creating Your Own Mini Unit Studies: National Holidays (Learning the history behind the holidays through mini unit studies allows for a break from our regular studies and gives children something to look forward to.) 
• Unit Studies through Journaling Nature (As teaching parents, there are times we need to think outside the box to help make learning fun for our kids.)
