[Can you recommend a good Science program for 3rd grade?]

Is Real Science 4Kids any good? Thanks!

 

 

We couldn't stand Real Science 4Kids. It was a real bummer when it arrived after we had looked so forward to it. Best way I can describe why we hated it is it tried to look like it had alot of information in it, but really that's about all it was, looked like it had alot of information wasn't very deep in my opinion. We were so disappointed we sold it the next day.:confused:

[What curricula have you tried and HATED?]

Real Science 4 Kids- couldn't stand it. I'd looked forward to getting when I first read about it when my ds was in 1st. Waited and waited till he was old enough,finally got to order, then it finally came, open the box look through it and go"this is it?" :confused: I was so dissappointed. Sold it the next day.

[Little Professor Science Kits]

Thanks for the reply. :001_smile: I thought of a couple more questions. What grades would you say these are for? Also, how do these compare to the Young Scientist Club? Do they contain more information? Thanks again.:001_smile:

[Little Professor Science Kits]

Has anybody tried these? They look great, but the price seems insane? :confused:Are they worth it? How quickly do you go through them? How heavily do you need to supplement them or do they contain a good solid amount of the info the child needs to learn? Thanks.:001_smile:

[Need meal ideas for cabin cooking-]

Okay don't know if where you are going if you can use a campfire, but one of my favorite things to do when we go. is use a dutch oven and cook over fire or coals. You can make all kinds of things that way, breads, cakes, cinnamon rolls, one pot meals, you name it. I always pre chop everything before we go and stick in baggies and freeze things that can be frozen an have two coolers one for frozen items and one for things that stay refrigerated. Works great. I'd be happy to send you a few recipes if you wanted just pm me. Hope that helps. Have a great vacation.:001_smile:

[Attack on homeschoolers???]

I hope it's not anything targeting or trying to attack homeschooling in general, I just thought it was interesting that it was just a few days after the article on the German family that there was an article on homeschool curriculum choices and if it's okay that some homeschoolers teach that way.:confused:
