brownie Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Anyone have any suggested materials that work well for a science or math coop class? This would be for elementary level. Brownie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohru Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I taught a science co-op for K-2 and used a Donald Silver's make and do project book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hillary in KS Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 We've used the Apologia books for co-op, but with the understanding that there would be homework every week. For those wanting an academic-y science class, it worked well. I've also used the "God's Design For ______" materials. I needed to combine some of the lessons to finish the book in the amount of weeks of our co-op. But it was very easy to adapt. Both classes were for older elementary students, if that helps.

Ruth in NC Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 has some activity books that work well with a group. I used Machine Shop with a group last year. http://wwws.aimsedu.org/aims_store/Books-p-1-c-2.html Good luck, Ruth in NC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripe Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 I've been reading the book "Small Wonders" by the Vermont Institute of Natural Science. It's for younger kids (3-6 yrs). They have another book called "Hands-On Nature" for elementary. Small Wonders: Nature Education for Young Children Hands-On Nature: Information and Activities for Exploring the Environment with Children There is also this online science material: http://www.teachengineering.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
