AngelBee Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Are there any programs that already do this? I am interested in finding something like this. I feel like we focus a ton on history (which I love) but I think my boys in particular would rather do more science. A perfect world would be finding a way to combine them both within the timeframes. Thanks :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelBee Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks. I still need to get those. Either my google skills are weak today or there is nothing like what I want. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelBee Posted January 16, 2011 Author Share Posted January 16, 2011 I may have to start piecing something together :) Hmmm...... I will have to check out the teachers guides, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopeallgoeswell Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 http://heartofdakota.com/bigger-hearts.php http://heartofdakota.com/preparing-hearts.php Maybe something like either of these? Science is loosely tied-in with history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 So this is for ages 10 and 6?? Those Hakim books would be a bit much, at least from my looking at them. Are you already doing science? I'd find the hands-on spine to suit you and then bring in biographies from the juvenile biography section of your library. I'm doing this with my dd now, and it's the perfect solution to our problem. Also, if you look at the science in WTM, they actually rotate through topics to, sort of loosely, correspond to what was happening in the 4 quadrants of history. But if you don't want to use WTM's rotation, just pick a happy spine and pull in history biographies and books on the topics. ACS has WONDERFUL materials (Wonderscience, Sunlight Skyscrapers and Sodapop, etc.). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main issue is that I tend to skip science. :confused: We get so caught up in history and the basics, science goes on the back burner. And they LOVE science! So I was brainstorming that if I could tie it in somehow, we would cover it more. Also the 18 yr old but we are on a different track with him as he came int oour family in March and has a lot of catching up to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandy in TN Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 BF's History of Science through Literature? Use whatever section covers the same period of history that you are covering. Also, WinterPromise has their S&S curriculum that ties in science to history very well. HTH- Mandy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChandlerMom Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Found a book called "Ancient Science" by Jim Wiese which has 40 experiments organized by the ancient civilizations that discovered them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt_Uhura Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 I was going to recommend the BF History of Science along w/ the Ancient Science book of experiments that the previous posted just mentioned. You could do Hakim's Story of Science w/ the older. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelBee Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Never realized BF offered that. Will have to check that out for sure! Thanks for the suggestions. Keep em coming if you think of anything else. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelBee Posted January 18, 2011 Author Share Posted January 18, 2011 bumping for any other ideas. :) Medieval science anyone? :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woolybear Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 http://www.greatscientistsseries.blogspot.com/ It doesn't have hands on tied in, but I am thinking of doing this myself. Well, I've thought of doing it. Still looking for the time. I got the whole thing printed off and bound at Office Max. I just started with the ancients, but there is the middle ages too.

woolybear Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 That's just it. I didn't post it there. YOU are not losing your mind, but if you were, at least you would have an excuse. Now, in my case, I don't have a really good excuse.:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
