Each Light Speed title comes with a Standard Deviants video program and a digital workbook with notes, handouts, quizzes and activities to help support the content on the video. The rapid -fire approach keeps students engaged while the cast of young characters, humorous skits, mnemonics, and on-screen graphics present step by step examples to teach students the essentials to master a subject.
My sister homeschools and I am always keeping an eye out for new and fun ways for the kiddos to learn. That is why when I saw this series I was really excited to try it. What I liked the best was that they are available in different grade levels, and they correlate with state standards. They kept our attention and even I learned new info. You can see the products they offer here: http://www.sdlearn.com/series/light-speed.html?limit=30&p=1
These are some of the series they offer:
Biology: The Building Blocks of the Cell; High School. DNA, and Mitosis are just a few of the topics discussed in this DVD.
Chemistry: Atoms, Molecules, and Bonding; High School. The Periodic Table of the Elements was really cool to see on tv. Bonding is also discussed.
Earth Science: Earth's Hot Interior and Plate Tectonics In Action; Middle School. Mountains, earthquakes, and volcanoes are always fun to watch on tv.
Algebra: Complete 4 program series; high school.
LIGHT SPEED ALGEBRA
This program introduces students to our friend, Algebra, the powerful super hero that is armed with the knowledge to find out fascinating things about place, people and real-life situations. This series concentrates on the essentials of algebra plus provides a thorough breakdown of difficult concepts using step-by-step explanations and visual examples.
THE POWERS AND FUNCTIONS OF ALGEBRA
For many students the study of algebra is similar to learning a new language, it can be very confusing and daunting. Our cast of young actors define those difficult algebra terms and use on-screen graphics to present step-by-step examples. This program puts the FUN into functions and other difficult algebra topics and is a must see for any student who is starting algebra or needs a refresher.
SOLVING, SIMPLIFYING AND SLOPE
Join us as we deep dive into some of the more advanced concepts and principles of Algebra - Equalities, Inequalities, and Graphing these equations. We unlock the world of simplifying the complex and use real-life scenarios to make algebra relevant!
LINEAR EQUATIONS AND POLYNOMIALS
Less then, greater than, monomial, polynomials, oh my! The more we learn about Algebra, the more complex the equations and vocabulary become. Have no fear; Light Speed is here to make these equations, terms and concepts digestible.
ESSENTIAL QUADRATICS
Interested in finding out how high a baseball can fly? Or how fast a record player will drop from a window? The quadratic formula can be used to figure out projectile motion – meaning, how high and how far a moving object travels. This program will present the equation, how it is graphed and how it can be solved. You’ll soon be a quadratic expert!

I wish I had this in High School. It is easier for me to see visually equations

This series was fun and I did learn a lot of stuff. I recommend this for anyone that home schools. I also recommend for an after school activity. On the high school level I think that these titles should be available in the school libraries. I am giving these all a 5/5. I was given copies to review, however all opinions are my own.
