kwg Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Anyone have experience with Plato Science- the one through hs buyers co-op? Good/Bad? How thorough is it? Thanks! Also- Rainbow Science- what is that like? How religious? Experiences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kwg Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 Just wondering :) What ages you used it for also- I think I remember now (looking at the samples) that RS is not a good fit for our family :( which is disappointing. Is there anything like that but more secular in nature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccolopy Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 No experience with Plato, but DS is using and enjoying Rainbow Science. He does the reading/written work independently and gets together with two friends to do the labs. All three boys are doing well with it. I haven't actually read everything myself, but Rainbow is Christian and familiarizes students with both evolution and creation. We are generally secular homeschoolers, and so far my (agnostic atheist) DS hasn't found the Christian content overwhelming. DS started Rainbow in 5th grade, but the other boys are a year and two older. It's recommended for 7th-9th grades on their website, but I would recommend it for 6th-8th.
