CrunchyGirl Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I'm going to cross post this on the high school forum too but thought you guys might have good insight. I'd like to do a thorough science overview with LegoMan. Last year he read all three volumes of Human Odyssey and not only retained ever bit of it (possible photographic memory), he's able to easily apply that knowledge to new pieces of info across the curriculum. It's to the point I can't imagine needing to touch systematic history again until high school. I'd like to do something similar for science. We haven't done much to this point and I realize technically we don't have to but I think he'd enjoy it. I've wanted to do BFSU but so far it's not happening and at this point I worry it's not advanced enough (and I don't have the science background to dive deep enough). I'm thinking an online set of videos would work really well. Something comprehensive and probably high school level as his higher order reasoning is excellent. I'm not interested in a full course (like what WTMA offers) as I don't feel a need for exams and research papers at this point. My only other requirement is that it needs to be secular (covering evolution and climate change as appropriate). So far I've found Time4Learning and Acellus. Has anyone used these? Are there better options? Neither seems like something I'd normally hand my gifted child but we are in a weird situation here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Uzinggo worked well for my DD at that stage. It took her 2 years to do three courses of middle school and four of high school between ages 8-10 or so :) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 I know nothing about Uzinggo, but I did notice that HSBC has a 40% off deal if you're thinking about purchasing. https://www.homeschoolbuyersco-op.org/uzinggo/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mckittre Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Crash Course on Youtube? They have lots of thorough video sets, aimed at high-school AP students I think, and lots of different subjects. Quick-paced, fun, good for a kid who remembers things easily. My kids were huge fans of their Anatomy and Physiology course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Tick Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Conceptual Academy has a number of self-paced courses available online that might suit your situation. Perhaps the high school physical science course. My kids are not advanced, although they are doing the abbreviated physical science course and enjoying Paul Hewitt's videos. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
