  1. Does anyone know the difference between the Island level version 2 and 3?
  2. I can see how none of these curriculums would be a good fit. A formal curriculum works better for me. I need something structured with an outline of what to do each day/week. My daughter does great with hands on projects and with us reading. She spends her days creating and building random things or things inspired from what she's learned. So hands on projects work great for her. I did download the RSO samples and I don't love the pages they have for reading to the child, so I will likely just pull pieces from it or just look in our science books for the info.
  3. I haven't received any feedback on ES, but I think I figured out what I'm going to do. I'm going to purchase the biology since it's slightly cheaper. Biology should be mostly review for my daughter. (We haven't been consistent with science since I've struggled prepping for the science we were using.) And I'm going to use RSO for Astronomy and Earth/Environment. Unless I hear any feedback that changes my mind. 😆
  4. SCI just didn't flow right for me. I'd be willing to give it another try, but since there is no date in sight for when 1 and 2 will be out, I'm not going to wait and rather move on to another curriculum. I have EES and even did a co-op using EES and BFSU. It's not an open and go program and for science minded parents, this may not be an issue. I've accepted that I need a daily schedule with activities listed. I end up skipping science a lot because of the prep for BFSU and that doesn't benefit my daughter. I think it's a fantastic program, but I've tried it for 2 years to make it work for me and it's not a good fit for what I need to home educate. I still plan on looking through it for any thing I should add to discuss.
  5. I have and tried SCI 0 with BFSU, but didn't care for it. They also don't have 1 or 2 out and do not have a time frame for either. They won't give an actual realease date or even estimate. SC1 was supposed to be out this spring.
  6. Thank you. This I knew. I don't mind neutral. We have already covered age and orgins of Earth, and evolution (not in depth), so I don't mind adding this in.
  7. I was set on RSO, but discovered ES and it really looks great, so now I can't decide. Could anyone that has tried both share their thoughts of which one they liked better and why? It would be for my very soon to be 8 year old (9/3). We've been using BFSU and as much as I love it, I need something that is broken down into a schedule, with activities and a script. Thank you.
