![STAR Homeschool Cycle 4 Science and Nature](https://starhomeschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/Cycle-Images-for-STAR-Site-8-1.png)
Claritas publishing memory work covers physics in Cycle 4, so I’ve scheduled several options for families to cover this subject.
Form 2+ (or whole family read aloud)
DK: Force & Motion
This book is scheduled at a pace of two to four pages per week.

The Way Things Work by David Macaulay
If you want to get through this entire (thick) book in one school year, follow the schedule provided, at a pace of ten to fourteen pages per week. This could be an independent reader for a Form 3, 4 or even a Form 5 student. I almost placed this book under Form 3, and perhaps it is better suited for these students, but some Form 2 students may have a deep interest in these subjects, too.
If you feel like the reading schedule is too much for your family, this would also be a great book to keep on the coffee table or in a basket, allowing your kids to grab it and look through the pages they are interested in. There is much to learn in this book!!
