Amy in CO Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 We have always struggled with science. We love it but have been horrible about implementing it. Until this year. We are doing well with my 2nd and 5th grader. But for my 9th grader, she is just failing miserably. Is there some basic, easy , science program that is usable for a 9th grader. Even if it isn't good enough for credit, but something that would be enough to prepare her for a high school science next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunshine State Sue Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I've been thinking of trying this next year: http://www.scienceforhighschool.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momofjae Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I too have ben struggling to find a program this year. I have a 9th grader. She needs 3 Sciences per the UNC system, however, we have found alot of other school are requesting 4, with one being in an advanced study. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in CO Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 thanks for the ideas. I like the looks of the one at pacworks.com. I had my dd come in and look at the samples. She could understand the way it was written and the definitions for the vocab. I think I might try that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticamethyst Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I am so glad that I have come back to the boards. I have always struggled with science from the time they came home in first grade, eight years later I am still at a loss for science. I love the way this set looks. http://www.scienceforhighschool.com/ Thanks so much Sue for the link. I will be purchasing the physical or chem. set on Friday, I know we should be doing biology but we are about a year behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingersmom Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Have you looked at Apologia Science? If your daughter is behind you could start with a lower level. My daughter is using Apologia General Science and she does 99% of it on her own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy in CO Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Apologia General Science was her first attempt at science last year and she only made it 3 chapters in before she was stuck. She liked the experiments but not the writing style. I think we will try the science for high school physical science book next year. I ordered the books for biology on pacworks for this year.
