What are the differences between Uncle Sam and You and Exploring Government?

Uncle Sam and You is a one-year civics course specifically designed for students in grades 5 to 8. The subject of civics (by comparison to government) gives special attention to the role of the individual citizen in government and in his community. One of the main goals of the curriculum is to explain the functions of government that the student experiences in everyday life. The curriculum features extensive coverage of the election process and surveys government activities on the federal, state, and local levels.

Exploring Government is a one-semester course written at an advanced high school level. It covers such topics as the Biblical basis of government and the different types and philosophies of government. The course has extensive coverage of the entire U.S. Constitution, how the federal government operates, and contemporary issues government addresses today such as health care and immigration. This curriculum discusses not only what government does, but why government functions the way it does.
