Ordering Information for Individuals

SCI only sells its products directly to schools, school districts, and bookstores. However, parents, students, and other interested parties who would like to purchase a single copy of either Introductory Physical Science 9th edition, Introductory Physical Science 8th edition, Introductory Physical Science 7th edition, or Force, Motion, and Energy can do so by placing a special order through your local bookstore.

SCI has agreements with schools and school districts across the country promising that they are charged the absolute lowest price available for our books. (These are the prices that appear in our Price List.) In effect, these agreements preclude sales to anyone or any organization at a price lower than the price we charge schools. Consequently, bookstores do not receive any discounts. So please do not be surprised to find that the bookstore price is higher than our list price for schools. Schools deserve a break and bookstores need to cover expenses!

Copies of the Teacher's Guide and Resource Book and Assessment Package are sold only to schools.


For additional information, please call SCI at 303-988-5041.

 

Information for Home Schoolers

We would like you to be aware that we do not recommend IPS and/or FM&E for use in home schools for the following reasons:

  • There are safety concerns associated with the performance of labs in a non-laboratory setting. As much as we would like to sell books, the safety of students is more important to us.

  • Our curricula depend heavily on laboratory activities that require the compilation and analysis of entire class sets of data in order to reach meaningful conclusions – more data than can be collected in a reasonable amount of time in a homeschool setting. As a result, our programs are less effective in such a setting.

If our programs are used in a home school setting, we highly recommend that the teacher attend one of our training workshops.
