Used from my library. Call and ask if they have any sets they are updating, check library sales, ask to be put on a list. I got mine for $50. I'm sure that is MUCH CHEAPER than new!! By the way - they were only about 5 years old - most info I need to look up in that kind of reference doesn't get too out of date!

bookshelves (duh!:) ), white board, teacher planner

They have a place where you can e-mail the writer of the program. Maybe he can answer your specific questions??
This program is designed for grades 7 and 8. I'm sure it is a thorough overview of science, as in depth study would begin in high school. But, I haven't used the program yet (but am excited to!), so I don't know the specific answers to your questions.

Muse for 9-14 year olds looks awesome! thanks for the suggestion
-
Next year for 4th (little ds) I will order the elementary program as well!

This is so helpful.

My posts under the sale/swap board have 5 stars right now. What does that mean? I don't see them under anyone else's items?

I was looking at buying BJU this year and then I stumbled on Rainbow Science. It looks so great! It is a 2 year program (uses the same teacher text both x's) and comes with every little thing for doing experiments.
IT is expensive, but all inclusive. I have been asking questions about it over on the h.s. board - have had very favorable responses from those ladies and they feel it is very suitable for high school prep and college prep.
What I like about it is this = Not dry and boring (did Apologia Gen. Science this year - very in depth, but dry and colorless). The author uses humor and catches the kids' attention. Also, it is geared to be child independent (although I"m sure I'm going to tag along), and the sections per day are fairly short and to the point - not TONS of reading each day like Apol. Has good discussion questions, etc. I think it is set up to do 2 lessons per week + 1 lab. (H.s. Board says if your kid is high science - do the schedue to finish it all in one year). My son and I are both looking forward to this program.

I too, like a broad spectrum approach. They can focus in on my in depth in high school. Thanks for the confidence. What is Runkles?

You wouldn't have any problem with putting him in Rainbow for 7th, then going with BJU for 8th?
Is it hard to accomplish Rainbow in 1 year, or is it easy?
If he does all of rainbow in 1 year - what would he go into in BJU for 8th grade? Thanks.

There are so many great things, I am afraid I am turning into a junkie!

Someone posted that the order should be BCM, then Geometry, then Intro. to Alg. Being not as endowed with math as I should, I freaked. Thanks.

I've decided that if there is a subject that he doesn't grasp (he's good in science) we can just pull out the Apologia and he can read up on it in that! Hope it works!
-
their Intro to Alg. program? shoot, shoot, shoot! I have Intro to Alg and no Geometry program. If we have really loved Lial's what Geom. do I need to use? Thanks.
-
Do I have to do Geometry next? Help please! This is for my fall schedule!
-
I am worried that I am doing the wrong thing! We used Apologia this year - so I have general out of the way. Anyone with different experiences, please!! I just ordered the darned thing!! Help!
-
for a 7th grade academic? i'm sure he will be college bound and possibly pursue science. Thanks.
-
After looking at this program, I am very close to ordering. IT looks awesome! Are looks deceiving? I think my son would gain tons from it! He is in 7th this year.
-
Wow!! How have I missed this program before? It looks so great! It looks so appealing to boys!! It doesn't look like it is going to be that time consuming! Yeah!! Thank you to whomever suggested it - I will be ordering it this week. (Can I just say that I want to kiss the company for including ALL the lab equipment in the price?) Yes, it looks expensive, but all the running around we would have to do to accumulate all that stuff for experiments would probably cost alot, too!!
-
I got the best answers to this question "Has anyone ever failed with ToG."
The people of the board gave such great answers - and guess what? We are using ToG Year 2 Redesigned this fall! HTH

The world has lost one of the good guys!
Is there a link that will lead me to information about the Latin Centered Curriculum?
in K-8 Curriculum Board

I am curious about it, and don't know where to look. Thanks.
