ChristusG Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I want a structured science curriculum for next year when DD will be in 2nd grade. I've looked at Real science 4 kids and it looks pretty neat....something that DD would like. But which would I begin with? Is there any sort of order? Or do I just pick one of the three? Also, I notice that there are only 10 chapters per book. Do you do a chapter per week? So I'll go through all 3 books for 2nd grade? At $75 per bundle??? Sounds kind of expensive for one year of science. I'm not purchasing yet....I'm going to wait until I can look at it in person at the FPEA convention next month. Thanks for any help! ETA....DD is not a good reader AT ALL. She's actually in auditory and visual therapy for it. Would this be an okay curriculum for her? I see that there's quite a bit of writing. I guess I would have to really help her with a lot of the writing, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeymommy4 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Did you ever get any thougts on this? I am ISO a science program for 2nd. I'd love more thoughts on this. DS is not strong in writing but it's only because I have not pushed him enough. He is REALLY behind. :( thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momsuz123 Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 I just got this for my dd's too. My cousin used it for her 3rd grader last year and she loved it (even though she hated everything about school - which is why my cousin pulled her out of ps). I bought all 3 books, but got the texts from her at half price. She sold her teachers editions already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miracleone Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 I am starting RS4Kids biology with my 4th grader. We're also doing Chemistry next year. I bought the RS4Kids Lab materials from Home Science Tools. I like that the text is easy to understand and colorful for my dd, plus it's all there and if I need supplemental books I can always get from the library or research something online. I also like that it comes with a lab book for student. I think biology is a good starting point. I actually bought my sets from the For Sale board here and got it at a good price.

ChristusG Posted August 16, 2011 Author Share Posted August 16, 2011 Actually, I did buy it at a homeschool convention in May. Now I'm selling it LOL. After I really thought about it, I just can't do an experiment based science curriculum this year. With having a newborn, I just need something simpler for the time being.
