CPO Earth Science Schedule and video links

Textbook: CPO Earth Science 

The loop schedule follows this pattern:
1.) Watch videos on chapter topic.
2.) Read a section, do review orally. Do one of the skills worksheets.
3.) Read Connection, do extra science reading from literary selections recommended in the teacher's guide.  Sometimes I've scheduled the chapter activity here, but many of them are geared towards classrooms so we won't do all of them.
4.) Watch more videos, and do final chapter test.
We usually don't do the skills worksheets that involve in-depth experiments or set-ups. We use TOPS science, Mystery Science and the VanCleave science activity books for our hands-on science experiments instead.
