Scheduling is one of the homeschooling activities that takes the longest for me — probably because I don’t want to NOT study anything! I also discovered that, if I’m not careful, lesson planning for ONE student can take as much time as lesson planning for a whole class of students. So I appreciate it when someone helps me out by suggesting a schedule.
If you purchase the notebooking journal with your Apologia Science text (which I recommend), you will notice that there is a multi-page schedule that shows you how to complete each lesson in four days over a 2-wk period. The first day of the week is more of the reading and the second has more activities. Using this schedule, many homeschoolers complete two Apologia courses per year.
Since I first taught with this text, I have developed a slower, more integrated approach to homeschooling, and I wanted an option that paced the text over the course of a whole year rather than rushing to complete it in a few weeks. With this in mind, I’ve created another option and included a daily schedule for September to help you pace your reading and notebook work.

Donna Young has collected free schedules for the Apologia texts, and has posted them on her website, under Co-op Schedules for Apologia Science Curriculum. They include videos that various co-ops have added to their instruction, and suggestions about how to gather and store materials for a group of homeschoolers working on the same class.
