I was wondering if this would round out my Geology program for my 8th grader? How much Geology does it get into? My children love hands-on activities. How much is contained within this program? Thanks! Kelley

Have you thought of e-mailing the author of the book? On the Apologia web site they post things that help others using the coursebooks. Kelley

What about Learning adventures? There is AWorld Of Adventure, ANew World Of Adventure, and Westward & Onward. Kelley

I noticed that there are many versions of this book. I would like a friendly version that is appropriate and enjoyable for a 3rd grader and an 8th grader. (Big gap, I know) ;) Thanks! Kelley

I was thinking of doing some fun:lol: tongue twisters with my son. Do you happen to know of any good books? thanks! Kelley

Thanks summer,:) I had seen this website but I was hoping that someone would be able to provide the names of experiments that are contained within the kits. That information isn't listed on the web site. Kelley

hope you don't mind me bumping this up... Kelley

Time Travelers is fun... Kelley

Thanks! You guys are wonderful for all of your help!:lurk5::auto: Kelley

or title of experiments for the following Earth Science Kits? Not sure if I want to order without knowing the contents. Our Changing Earth Rock Origins Water Cycle Weather Wise Thanks a bunch! Kelley

hope you don't mind me bumping this up... Kelley

Could you please describe them? Which ones have you used? Are they stand alone? Thanks! Kelley

Are there curriculums out there that approach science in not so textbooky of a manner? Thanks! Kelley

Tami, You made a very good point.:iagree: I do not mind copying things. I tend to like to have lap-book type of materials for use as reinforcement in History and Science. I have never implemented worksheets for these subjects. :tongue_smilie: I prefer hands-on learning, making notebooks (lapbooks), real books, etc....;) I use "Time Travelers": for history and that is a ton of copying.....but I really like the notebook approach. I was hoping that this curriculum would be "solid" in nature for a middle schooler and a tag along 3rd grader with hands-on activities and lap-booking contained within. Kelley

Lynn, I really appreciate your dissenting voice. It helps to hear how someone else used these and that it was a positive experience! which grade levels did you use them for? Thanks! Kelley

TOPS did not have much in the Earth Sciences/Weather types of units. Kelley

Thanks Regena, What types of activites do these kits provide? Did you just use "living books" to complement the program? Is Delta Education the only place that I can order them? Thanks! Kelley

I would like to do a unit on... Weather, Volcanoes, Earthquakes, Rocks and Minerals Not sure what else.... Have you used any of the kits which associate with those topics? Thanks! Kelley

Thanks so much for all of your ideas!!! I will check out those science in a nutshell kits. Is Delta Education the only place that they can be ordered? Kelley

Thanks so much for all of your honest opinions!!! I really appreciate it....I will stear away from these. Many blessings to you, Kelley

What are your experiences using these? Are there any hands-on activities assoiciated with these? Which titles have you used? Thanks! Kelley

I would like to do a year of Earth Science... Geology, Weather, and perhaps some other topics related in this area. Kelley

I am not much into the textbook approach. I would like to find a solid geology course for my middle schooler and tag along 3rd grader. Is there anything out there???? thanks! Kelley

That was precisely my hesitation......:iagree: I would like to find a good hands-on Geology course for my middle schooler and tag along 3rd grader.....though. Kelley
