Oakblossoms Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 The boys got to look at kits at the learning store this past week. They are really interested in Chemistry, crystals, and energy! So, I want to plan around their interests this upcoming year. We tried RS4K Biology this year. It seemed fine at first. I liked that it was just 10 chapters so we were not stuck on one science subject for the entire year. My kids like Science but they hate trying to stretch that subject out an entire year. They need time to explore nature when it's nice out. We do a lot of nature study style science normally. The experiments weren't any good. They didn't turn out well or they didn't make sense or they just weren't any fun. Any suggestions? I'll include what I have in my cart so far. Are these good kits? Some of it may just be for our youngest boy. Our VA pays for all our supplies, so we can't purchase Christian materials. I do have Apologia general science and I was thinking of doing some things out of that book for some subjects. I haven't really looked through it yet. It was given to me for free. I have some elementary Apologia books, as well. We haven't covered the Botany one yet and I might hold onto that for Spring. I prefer to order stuff through Homes School Science Tools because the VA will do it for us and just ship to our house.
