m0mmaBuck Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 The kit would primarily be for the 8yo (3rd grade) but the 4yo will tag along. We did units on plants, animals and the human body this year so I'm considering the Physics or Chemistry kit. Which was more fun and why?

Dinsfamily Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 I read somewhere (can't find it now :( ) that Physics is slightly harder than the other two so I'm saving it until my middle ds is older. I asked my oldest which he wanted to do out of Chemistry and Biology and he picked Chemistry. It looks fun and I think that my little one will be able to tag along just fine. We're starting tomorrow.

Ali in OR Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 We did all of the level 1 Noeo courses. We enjoyed both chemistry and physics more than biology. Dd is saying that she really enjoyed the chemistry experiments, so maybe that would be our top choice. Super Science Concoctions is a great book. I think they recommend an experiment a day. If I recall correctly, a lot of that books is scheduled in the latter part of the course. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnandtinagilbert Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 We are finishing up Chemistry 1 now. It has been fun, although a little slow to start experiments :) After completing the program, which I truly enjoyed, I'd do Chem and rec. a more hands on approach for physics when you get there...Thames and Kosmos has many "build" type kits that we will use in lieu of Noeo recs. Seems more enjoyable for my lil' guys :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
