rowan25 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I didn't realize they had other subjects besides math! Has anyone used their EarlyBird Startup Science? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlebug42 Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 I have used it and I liked it. I used basically the workbooks but I found them to be full of good information and easy to use. There were not too many experiments which I personally don't like to do anyway so it was a good fit for us. The girls seemed to have fun with them as well.

rowan25 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Yeah, that sounds like something I'd like! :tongue_smilie: I wish I could have them in hand to look at. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 I'm using Vol. 2 (physics) with my K5 student. He seems to like it. It's fine for what it is, but a little light on content. I supplement with library books like the Let's Read and Find Out Science series and The Magic School Bus series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootsnwings Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 We used MPH for a little while and really did enjoy it. Something we've moved into that might interest your girls is learning.com's aha! science. It's all online (mostly--except the hands on experiments) and my ds is really enjoying it. It's a lot like the MPH (to me) with the higher order thinking skills, etc... just in online form, instead of workbook. I bet the MPH books would be a great supplement to aha! science too! HTH!! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan25 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 Those sound interesting. Actually I am looking for something to sortof round out Science for next year--2nd. I'm using state standards and building from there since I couldn't find a curriculum I really liked. I'll definitely check out that online one! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rootsnwings Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I'm fairly certain the aha! science is aligned with California's State Standards for Science (and there is some sort of report you can print out if you need to show documentation, etc)... for $15/student/yr this program really is a GREAT deal!!!! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 If you want an easy workbook program with little to no experiments and aligns to state standards, I'd say you have a winner! They are colorful and decent intro into science. My experience was that it looked great, but when we started using it, not so much, but my goals for science were very different than what they program caters towards. Just to throw another option out there, have you looked at the Harcourt textbooks? You can pick one up for relatively cheap and they are written for the state standards. There's a bit more in them than you will find in Singapore's Earlybird program. Hope you find what fits :). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PM me your address and I will mail it to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissKNG Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I used them to supplement Sonlight Science K. They are fun but I wouldn't use them as a stand alone item. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 I just got a bunch of the older version books inexpensively, and I think my DD will enjoy them as a spine to find topics, read, do the workbook, and then spin off in the local library and hands on.

Tree House Academy Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 We used it for Kindergarten Science. It was light, but fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
