Greta Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 My dd is in 5th, and I know it's for 3rd - 5th, but she's good in science so normally I would not even *consider* a program targeted at anything less than 6th grade. BUT . . . this is Dr. Nebel we're talking about. :001_smile: I know he does not dumb things down, and that his approach is to really make kids think and question and explore, and not just throw a bunch of facts or fun-but-useless experiments at them. So I'm wondering if it might be worth giving a try. Maybe we could zoom through it and be ready in time for Vol III when it gets published. (Anyone know when that will be?) Thoughts?

Capt_Uhura Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 VolIII is due out in June 2011. I've just started VolII w/ a 5th and 2nd grader. I think you can go as deep as you want. We did the latitude and longitude lesson at the very end so far. We also started the Microscope unit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll try to get Vol II done with the rest of this school year, and we'll start Vol III with 6th grade this fall. Thanks, it's nice to hear that it's working for you!

Lisa in the UP of MI Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 I own BFSU II but have not used it yet. It is not light and I'm sure it would challenge a middle school child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greta Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 It is not light and I'm sure it would challenge a middle school child. I started to get that impression from looking at the table of contents online. :001_smile: I'd love to hear more when you do start using it. Let me know how it goes! Thanks!
