Joker Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Next year my dd's want to move away from Abeka Science (a mix of everything) and focus on one or two areas. We all agreed we wanted to go with chemistry. Anyone know a good program for 3rd and 5th graders. Is the rec. in WTM for 3rd grade challenging? My 3rd grader has been doing science and history at older dd's level since that's where her reading and comp. is. Any reccomendations welcome - we're Christian but don't require cc materials. Thanks!

patchfire Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 We loved Ellen McHenry's The Elements. Yes, it does say "grades 4-8" but dd used it with no problem last year as a 3rd grader. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizabethB Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Real Science 4 Kids Level I Chemistry. You can see the entire book online and figure out if it will be right for you or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmoira Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 We loved Ellen McHenry's The Elements. Yes, it does say "grades 4-8" but dd used it with no problem last year as a 3rd grader. We're loving this, and plan to follow up with her Carbon Chemistry. She's also working on a follow-up to The Elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagira Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Real Science Odyssey Chemistry OR A combination of Fizz, Bubble and Flash, Young Discoverers Solids and Liquids, Tiner's The World of Chemistry, and Kingfisher's Science Encyclopedia. Maybe a ChemC500 Thames and Kosmos science kit for good measure (which is all my plan for fourth grade chemistry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Noeo Chemistry! We did Chem 2 with my (then) 3th and 6th grader. It was great stuff! The experiments were fun too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fivetails Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 What about Christian Kids Explore Chemistry? That's what I was going to suggest ~ dd12 is using it this year and so far, it's been interesting. :) ..We also have a chemistry set to work with - a very special "real" one that is apparently kinda hard to get - that comes with a guidebook and 100 diff activities.

dcjlkplus3 Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 We are loving noeo's chemistry 1. Their chemistry 2 would probably work better for your kids. I love that it comes with everything (or most things for experiments), that it comes with all of the books recommened and a detailed lesson plan for the year.
