bluecalmsea Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Anyone using the current science? I'm looking into using one of these for 2nd grade. What are the worksheets and experiments like? The IG and wkst samples I saw online weren't helpful.... Which books would I need to buy and which can I use the library? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemykids Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 You’d have to check your library to see which items they carry; chances are they will have the Magic school bus books. They may have others too, like Weather and Planets, but they won’t have the Dinosaur mystery and the Bible. They may not have the same Marie Curie book, you will have to see. The IG for SL is really good, I think. The student pages are decent, and the experiments are fun although they often do not line up with what is being taught. ?? Which doesn’t make any sense, but that can be SL’s style. LOL. We enjoyed SL, but always had a hard time getting it done…for whatever reason, who knows. I still like the science, it's a great program!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2_girls_mommy Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Actually ours has the Dinosaur Mystery and the Bible on its shelves. You may be surprised if you have a good library system how much they have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1shortmomto4 Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Just a note - the science from SL was revamped this year and is much more friendly and useful. The experiments do line up and there is more rhyme and reason to the programs. They removed books that didn't work and added in ones that did. A much needed overhaul to the programs and people have just started the new versions are greatly enjoying the changes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yes, now I remember they were going to revamp science, but then I never heard anything. Sounds great! Thanks for the correction. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 The experiments line up now? Someone please confirm and go into detail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
