[Apologia General Science vs BJU for 7th grade]

You have been such a help! I had never looked into nor compared the two curricula. I, for some reason, had always assumed the opposite to be true - BJU to be lighter than Apologia. I guess since Apologia is the "go to" Science curriculum for everyone I know. I am the odd one out using BJU. I am now thinking that my assumptions have been incorrect.

What about the other Apologia levels - Chemistry, etc. Any opinions on these vs. BJU?

 

Thanks for all the help!:tongue_smilie:

[Apologia General Science vs BJU for 7th grade]

I do not prefer Apologia for elementary Science. I have used BJU Science with my oldest DD since 1st grade (she is now 6th). I have always planned to switch to Apologia beginning in 7th grade, but now I am second guessing myself. Any thoughts on this? I would love to hear any opinions for the upper level Apologia.

 

Thanks for the input. :)

You have been a huge help. I really do not want to spend over $200 for both. Also, my plate is very full right now. My dd is a very independent learner and she is eager for more writing instruction. I also have several friends who own TWSS and I could easily borrow them and view them if I feel they are necessary.

 

Thanks so much.

I am considering this program for writing. Can I just purchase the SWI or do I need the combo pack? If you have an experience with this, please share the pros and cons of the SWI vs the combo set.

 

Thanks :001_smile:
