I'm new here...a first year homeschooling mom, and I'm driving myself crazy trying to pick science curriculum for my older two sons. My youngest is doing Exploring Creation Through Astronomy, and for the last two weeks, my older sons have been listening in. My original intent was to let them do this and Anatomy the first year, and then move them up together next year to General Science. I figured that they are only a year and a half apart, and it would be nice to have a lab partner.
The problem is that they seem bored. In actuality, they are both quite advanced with science and math, so that may be a possibility. Should I wait it out or move them together, or just move one? They are 12 (just turned 12) and 10.
I'm also confused about Apologia vs BJU for High School. I've decided firmly on Apologia for the elementary level, but I've heard a lot of people say that they think that BJU is a bit more rigorous. They like to push themselves at science, (just not language arts and Latin :001_smile:) My worry about BJU is that it may be too teacher-intensive for me, since I do have three children. Would the DVDs take the pressure off? My husband is an engineer, so he could handle some of the teaching, if needed, but he does work full-time.
So, would you move them up together, and would you go Apologia or BJU? Abeka? (Haven't looked into that one as much) Which level? Everything else came so easily, but this has been driving me nuts since they want to go into science related fields.
Thanks!
