Kate in VA Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I just got the ClassiQuest Biology for Logic Stage and it looks really solid and fun! We're going to start it in Jan. Best, Tara oh I'm so jealous! :D Please give a review when you can.... I also wanted to say that I thought their reply was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted November 19, 2010 Share Posted November 19, 2010 I can't get the ClassiQuest Biology links to work. When I download them, it is only 1 page saying to view it w/ PDF viewer. The look inside at Amazon didn't tell me much. Anyone have any ideas? I suppose I'll try a different browser. Capt_Uhura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clicked on that and got the samples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sasharowan Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 I don't see a tab which says attachment.:glare: Hmm. When I click the samples link, it opens in a new window with 'For best experience, open in this PDF portfolio in Acrobat 9 or Adobe Reader 9 or later." and all the way to the left there are 3 tabs saying Pages, Attachments, and Comments. I am using Internet Explorer 8 and Adobe Reader 7. Clicking the Attachments tab brings up a list of 5 files of sample pages. Clicking one opens it in a new window and I can see the pages. Amazon has it available to search inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 That doesn't happen for me. I was able to just click on them using my FIL's PC computer and they opened right up, never giving me Adobe message. I guess they don't like Macs. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sasharowan Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 I'm glad that you were able to view them, even if you had to borrow FIL's computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NineChoirs Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 Has anyone used the NOEO science (Chem III) with two students? I am wondering if the chemistry set would have enough supplies for two students (even if they have to take turns), or if a second one would be necessary?

lewelma Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 We only did 2 years of logic stage science before moving to High school science. For Physics, DS read How Things Work from cover to cover. 1 spread each day. What a great book! He also played with an electronic kit. And then he did a 8 week Science Fair project on aerodynamics and kite flying. For Biology, DS read The Way Life works, The Cartoon Guide to Genetics, and The Stuff of Life. He watched all of the David Attenborough Documentaries (there are LOTS). Then, he did a 8 week science fair project on Microscopic Life.

Chris in VA Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I think I'm going with Shepherd Science (for Life Science)--you have to buy a separate book for experiments, but it looks good. It's not secular, but not Apologia, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarenNC Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'm really liking Holt Life Science for this year (6th grade--per my daughter's request). Having the directed reading and study guide workbooks helps her with note-taking and getting the concepts to stick. I have the test generator (it's older, so I have the printed material rather than a cd, but it works), which has been great for us. She's also taking a twice a month class at the Nature Center involving labwork, watching a lot of biology-related videos from Discovery Streaming Plus and participating in a Science Olympiad team that is being run as a class. I have the Story of Science as well as the teacher guide for Aristotle Leads the Way, but I'm not sure we'll do more than read the text along with the other work.

heart'sjoy Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Chemistry I'm attempting to put together Friendly Chemistry and the chemistry video labs from GA pbs. I found out I could have all the teacher tests, quizes, lab answers, notetaking answers for 30$ for both Chem and Physics. The videos are free, but if you buy one, 30$, you can send your invoice/ confirmation email and get the teacher CD material free. GPBS has these listed as highschool. I'm still reviewing the content. I think a lot of it will fit for 7th grade science for us. Physical Science I'm also looking at Derek Owens Physical Science that is not online but a one time purchase. Another option Conceptual Physics Biology- I'm considering Shepherd Science Biology with Dive CD for notetaking and labs. If these ideas sound a little off for middle school, it's because I'm shooting for harder/ clep/AP for 10th and 11th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote'] It looks like the videos and student materials are freely online---do you know if they will send the teacher CD to someone outside of Georgia if you purchase one video? Do you find the Friendly Chemistry games to be vital to the program or require multiple students? I have one child and most games don't work really well for us. Also, if you do line the two up, would you be willing to share your line-up? I'd like to consider using this with my middle-schooler as well. She's done some basic work with Ellen McHenry's The Elements and, if we look at this for 8th grade, is on track to be working in Algebra I at that point. If we do Earth/Space next year, that schedule would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewelma Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Ruth, Which electronic kit did your son use? We used this one. My son was 10 at the time and pretty pleased with it. http://www.amazon.com/Vintage-Sports-Cards-MX-906-Electronic/dp/B00005K2SY/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1318196762&sr=8-4 Ruth in NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
