Oakblossoms Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 My son wants to do science with experiments this year. I'm considering chemistry from here. Any other thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacia Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Exploration Education. I'd consider the higher level for him, if he's science-minded. The plus is that the learning is through a cd & all supplies are included (might come in handy w/ you having a new baby around for the upcoming school year). The elementary level would be way too easy for him. The higher level might be more challenging (since he's on the lower end of the suggested age range), but he should be able to do it if he loves science. I also like the looks of The Colors curriculum, but it's not published yet & there is not a set release date yet. It is another one that would come w/ all the supplies needed. Also, you could consider a level of Sonlight science. You can get kits w/ all the supplies. We've done level 3 science this year & really enjoyed it. Plus, I've looked at their new, revamped layout & it's quite nice, imo. (Can you tell that I hate gathering science supplies, lol???)

Pata Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 If you're considering Chemistry, how about mine (Elemental Science)? I've planned experiments for every week, sometimes two a week. In addition to the experiments Chemistry for the Grammar Stage also includes narrations with pictures and a student-made glossary of terms. You can see the samples of it on my website here or at Lulu here. Hope you like what you see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbygirl Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 We've used BJU for several years now and we like it. It always has a lot of experiements in each lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babysparkler Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 How about this? http://www.criticalthinking.com/series/087/index_c.jsp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcara Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Have you looked at Pandia Press's R.E.A.L. Science? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Dominion Heather Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 My fourth grader just finished MPH Science 4 and loved it. It is very hands on, the activity books provide 38 labs to go along with the text. You need to order your lab equipment and supplies yourself, though. There is no kit.
