momtolgd Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 I thought I was ready to order Sonlight science 2, but then I looked at Singapore MPH 3/4...now I'm just not so sure. I want to use one thing for both my 9yo ds and my 7yo dd. Which of these would you recommend and why? UGH. Science is my most difficult thing to decide on. :confused: Also..if you choose MPH, what parts did you buy? Are the tests and the teacher's guide necessary? Thanks.

momtolgd Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Also, is my 7yo too young to do MPH 3/4 along with my 9yo? Will it work ok for her? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momtolgd Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Thank you so much! DD just turned 7 in October, but does very well with math and really enjoys science, so I think we are going to go ahead and try to use it for them both. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtolgd Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) Is there a list anywhere of the supplies needed or do I need to wait until the books arrive? If I can order any of the items through Rainbow Resource center, I can place the order all at once.

Dana Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Is there a list anywhere of the supplies needed or do I need to wait until the books arrive? If I can order any of the items through Rainbow Resource center, I can place the order all at once. I haven't started with MPH but I've been doing some planning with it :) If you start with Diversity (as suggested), you should be fine with household stuff until lesson 2.2 where you'll need a potted plant (30-50cm) and a box to put over the plant. At section 6.4 you'll need 3 petri dishes filled with agar. So I'd imagine if you're looking to order quickly from Rainbow, you can get the petri dishes, but I don't think you'll need too much more right away. But again, this is just from my notes reading through the books - other people may have better lists (and if so, I want them!) :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momtolgd Posted December 23, 2009 Author Share Posted December 23, 2009 Thank you. Anyone else know about the supplies needed? :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
