What are some living books you have used for earth and space science? Also, what science encyclopedia would you recommend for this age group? I am not interested in a boxed curriculum such Elemental Science, NOEO, etc. I want to put together my own but need some ideas and recommendations for living books and an encyclopedia to use as a spine. Edit to add...we are very conservative Christians. We will teach that some people believe in evolution but we teach young earth creationism. Thanks in advance. -
Edited: Never mind. Between the Teaching Illustrations and Google, I think I have it figured out. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- First, thank you to those who posted earlier about CPO Earth Science. It looks great! I am really confused about the Investigations, though. I have been working to acquire all of the supplies and make substitutions as needed. Where do you find the radar image plates, side-view depth diagrams, bathymetric map, Mineral ID Chart, tree cross section, etc. that

After waiting forever for Classiquest to come out with their logic stage Earth Science & Astronomy, I'm leaning toward giving dd#2 Holt's Earth Science & using Kolbe's lesson plans. Here's my question -- if I get their lesson plans, do I need the CD-ROM? What does the CD-ROM give me? Any details? (I know about the online option that is cheaper, but am not interested in going in that direction.) Anyone use Kolbe's plans that can help shed some light?

My older dd will be taking science in public school next year (she's been doing band and science this year and it's been a great experience). They do earth science for 8th grade (did lab science this year in 7th). I would like to do some earth science at home with younger sister who will be in 5th grade. I'm thinking maybe just a semester. I'd like some reading, some hands-on activities, and maybe some DVDs if they're good. Do you have any materials to recommend that have been a hit in your home school? Thanks. -
I already have a spine for our Astronomy next year, but I'm seeking a spine for Earth Science. I'd be using it with a 2nd/3rd grader, a 5th grader, & maybe a tag-a-long K'er. I'm not looking for a full-blown program because we'll only do science twice per week (two hours max) and Earth Science will only be half our year's study. The fifth grader is not even close to be working at the logic-stage level, so I'm looking at gearing it more toward 3rd/4th grade level. I designed my own earth science study four years ago, but am not really enthused about using the same spine (Planet Earth).

I've been looking for resources to go along with the Tarbuck Earth Science text that's been suggested here. I did a search for past threads and came up with some wonderful suggestions and resources (and a great poster who was willing to share her syllabus - thanks!). I also went a-Googlin' (like a-wassailin' but with less singing and imbibing... :D ) and found a few resources that I didn't see on any of the older threads so I'd thought I'd share. Forgive me if someone has already shared some or all of these and I just didn't see - I'm not sure if my forum search turned up ALL the old thread

Sorry if this has been posted here already, but I wanted to share this link to the annual 50% off sale for Mr. Q. Science: http://www.eequalsmcq.com/HolidaySale2013.htm?utm_source=December+2012+LabNotes&utm_campaign=LabNotes+Nov+2012&utm_medium=email Of course, Life Science is free all the time, so you can preview it to your heart's content. But if you want to go on, 50% off certainly sweetens the deal. NOTE: all curriculum is in PDF form only, so you'll have to decide what to print yourself. I combed through the downloads, then used a free program called PDFill Tools to extra

We have been talking about infinity lately, and my dd said she likes to look in mirrors when there are 2 back to back so she can try to count the reflections she sees... which is, of course, infinite. But then, we started talking about other things that are infinite, and I got a bit muddled. :huh: - Is the universe infinite? (according to current scientific thinking) - are the number of grains of sand on the earth infinite? (I said no, that they are just very hard to count, but then I thought that if new grains of sand are being formed constantly, than maybe yes...) - are there an

Sounds strange, I know. We are breaking away from science curriculum and using a WTM science schedule for the first time this year (DK/Usborne/Janice Van Cleave books to cover Earth Science and Astronomy). Though I'm not quite sure where we stand on the Young Earth/ Old Earth debate, we are definitely Creationists and want to be awed by the works of His hands. We want to include a devotional approach to our science, and I found this great resource to go along with Astronomy: http://www.amazon.com/The-Heavens-Proclaim-His-Glory/dp/1404189580/ref=pd_sim_b_4 I'm looking for something sim

Is there a significant difference between the college text and the high school text? I'm looking at this used on amazon, and am surprised at the difference in price. (College is cheaper.) I think the college text comes with a CD which reviewers state is very helpful. Have any of you used the CD and if so, did you find it helpful? The high school text has lots of teacher ancillaries, but I'm not sure how "necessary" they are. Any comments or feedback would be helpful. BTW this is for a rising 9th grader who's completed integrated physics & chem. Thanks, Jennifer

I'm having a difficult time wading through everything that's out there and am hoping the Hive can help me. I need a list of any and all curriculum, books, textbooks, etc. that would be suitable for a grade 6 student for a year of Earth Science and Astronomy. I'm looking for fairly rigorous but not over her head. -
Is the teacher's manual essential? I already own the student edition and want to know if I need to shell out more money. Thanks

Oh. How I hate Earth Science. Truly. I do. So, my dd14 is a 9th grader. She is not a sciencey person. With my 2 older boys, I sort of let them do earth science on their own using a college textbook and that was fine. But with her, I can't do that. I am using the public school's textbook which they lent to me. Generally, I'm not much of a textbook person, but in 7th grade we used a textbook for science and dd said that was her preferred way to do science, so we are doing that after using (and not liking) Noeo last year. So, I did okay with the Astronomy section of the textbook and

Its new, and not on their website yet, but I am wondering if anybody has used this and if you could share your thoughts on this! Thanks -
I keep hearing "a few weeks" when I look up the threads... from, like, December. It's March. Does anyone know if the author of Classiquest Science is making any headway with Earth Science and Astronomy?

Just kill me now! I'll be honest, we NEVER did Earth Science the first time around with my oldest. We did Astronomy first semester, and then I never did find something that caught our interest for Earth Science second semester, and then I had surgery so we never did it! Now, I need to do Earth Science with my youngest who will be in 4th grade next year and I have absolutely no idea where to start. I'm using AIG with my oldest for Earth Science this year, but I really don't think that it's a good curriculum for 4th grade. Is there nothing out there? Apologia has nothing, RS4K has nothing,

I have two textbooks on Geology from the library sitting in front of me. What level are these books? Earth Science by Tarbuck and Lutgens 9th edition Earth An Introduction to Physical Geology by Tarbuck and Lutgens 7th edition I have other books to check as well. Is there some website where I can type in a title to see the type of class where it is typically used? Thanks!!

I found a big cache of USGS publications that might be useful for folks. As an example of the type of gems that might be hidden here: A Hiker's Guide to the Geology of Old Rag Mountain, Shenandoah National Park, Virginia -
I'd like to do earth science for 9th grade. Any suggestions for a text? I've seen some on Amazon, but I'm afraid of ending up with a college level text by accident! Thanks!

I'm trying to decide on Earth Science for next year, 6th grade. I have this book http://www.amazon.com/Earth-Science-Nancy-Spaulding/dp/0618499385/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1297211871&sr=8-3 I figure I'll just use it as a spine and get some living books on topics of interest. I'm wondering what resources are out there for experiments for earth science. Capt Uhura -
