Science Scope by Kathryn Stout Teaching Science K-12 From Cathy Duffy Reviews: Even if you are willing to abandon the textbook approach, many homeschoolers feel insecure determining at what level their child should be working on a science topic. Does making a model of the body systems equally satisfy learning needs of both a seven-year-old and a fifteen-year-old? Probably not. Kathryn Stout's Science Scope helps you identify appropriate activities for different age groups within each science area. This is an extremely useful resource. Divided into four main areas—general science, life science, earth science, and physical science—it takes specific topics under each heading, then suggests methods to use with students at primary, intermediate, junior, and senior high levels. It offers more detail than does Teaching Science and Having Fun!. Science Scope also makes it easy to select appropriate resources for whatever topic is chosen for study. one crease in cover (I dropped a stack of books!) otherwise new $7

Bright Ideas Press: The Scientist’s Apprentice by Hilary Welliver, New except for back cover crease when I dropped it to list it: This exciting, complete one-year science curriculum is presented in an easily understandable manner and is just as easy to use. Introductory information for the teacher provides guidance. Experiments, games, crafts, recipes, writing, songs and more are used to reach different learning styles. Orderly thinking skills (based on the scientific method) are reinforced throughout. Use the recommended student notebook approach as you spend eight weeks on each of four topics: Astronomy, Anatomy, Earth Science, Oceanography. Reproducible pages and a pleasing layout make this a practical choice for busy homeschooling moms. Teach multi-grade levels at the same time. More interesting than a text and easier than creating your own study, the work’s been done for you! Pbk. 200 pages. One year. K-4^th $12

Ellen McHenry: The Elements: An introduction Target audience: ages 8-13 . Very self-explanatory and fun.  Description: A basic introduction to the fundamental concepts of chemistry (see “Topics covered” below) but with the interest level of the text and activities geared to students who still like to play while they learn. The student text combines very “meaty” content with whimsical humor, and the teacher’s section has lots of activities, games, songs, crafts, etc. All of these activities provide high-quality learning– they are not “fluff.” The overall theme of the curriculum is cooking and recipes, using cooking to explain chemistry concepts. The curriculum is intended to prepare students for high school chemistry. Topics covered: The definition of an element, the structure of an atom, the invention of the Periodic Table by Mendeleyev, chemical formulas, electron orbitals and shells, the octet rule, arrangement of elements on the Periodic Table, atomic bonding (covalent, ionic and metallic), plus an up-close look at the families on the table: alkali metals, alkali earth metals, transition metals, true metals, non-metals, halogens, noble gases, and lanthanides and actinides. Great activities too! Really fun. I copied pages I wanted the kids to write on for their notebooks. If you want the brain song, it costs .99 to download on her site. $10
