thowell Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 There is Considering God's Creation. Many different topics and pretty good. The things we didn't like much about it is there are alot of cut and paste activities. However, it is very informative. Just FYI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 (edited) We are really enjoying Sonlight Science K. The topics keep moving along and you don't completely sit on one topic (unless you want to). It doesn't expect mastery just exposure. They use books, activity sheets, DVDs and experiments. I don't know about any other level but I do plan on moving onto Science 1 when we finish K. ETA: I do add in extra "crafty" things since my big girl is young. Check out my blog and you can see our "science wall" from the Living Things Unit we just completed (posted on this week's report). We also started looking at plants and are about to start growing some seeds - the curriculum told me to make a "Nature Diary" to record our seed progress.

anneofalamo Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 We are doing this series, and it is based on a 2 day a week, and it is 36 weeks, but you could do it faster, or take out what you don't want. I love it for my 2 5th and one 6th grader. The hands on section is not so intensive mom is running around the world trying to find things. It is cheapest thru amazon or Rainbow Resource. At Rainbow, there is a whole lesson you can read, and the table of contents. She has many in the series. She is a Christian mom who homeschooled, and this is what she made to fill a gap she saw.

Guest TheBugsMom Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 BJU is the best science I have found that is Christian based other then Apologia elementary science. REAL Science Odyssey is also an excellent choice (but I don't think it is Christian based). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HollyDay Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 BJU is a good survey course. I like Noeo too but it is a unit study approach. Several IRL folks like the Answers in Genesis elementary program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

angela&4boys Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 Another plug for BJU. We enjoyed it here. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuniMom Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 We love Answers in Genesis! The link is for all the books, so don't let the price scare you! We tried Apologia Elementary, but it was just too drawn out, and the narrative type lessons drove me crazy. We love how AiG's lessons are concise, geared towards different elem ages, and almost always includes a short easy experiment. They are also solidly Christian!

HappyGrace Posted October 17, 2010 Author Share Posted October 17, 2010 I am going to look into these-thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plain jane Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Have you looked into A Reason for Science? It's a great program and I think would fit your criteria nicely. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigomama Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 I'm so glad you posted this, I was wondering the same thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrsjamiesouth Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 that isn't just one topic all year long? Is there such a thing? Someone really needs to write a solid Christian elementary sci program! This doesn't meet both of your requirements, but I really like Christian Kids explore series. You could buy a few of the books and pull out the lessons you like, skipping around topics. The units are pretty individual so you could interchange all the books.
