Capt_Uhura Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Hello Hive Highschoolers, I was just looking at the course sequence for the kids featured in the 2Million Minutes documentary. The Indian and Chinese students have math, chem, physics, biology every year of high school. Well, the Chinese students were a bit different but still covering at least 2 sciences each year. Here in the US we are still on a chem one year, physics the next, then biology, then science of choice. Has there been a discussion on this board comparing these two approaches? If so, could you please post a link for me? Thanks, Capt Uhura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryCatherine Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 (edited) M selfishly bumping this because I'd love to read a discussion about it. I personally love the idea. ETA. This documentary is at Amazon for $127!!! Anyway I can see it cheaper? Edited May 7, 2011 by MaryCatherine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelly in VA Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 I'm searching, too! It is not available on Netflix, and I can't find anything except clips online. I did find this blog: http://www.2mm.typepad.com/, which does have some interesting information. Back to searching... Shelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regentrude Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 It has been discussed several times, possibly on the Logic stage board. I recall that Ester Maria wrote a detailed post explaining how she uses an integrated science approach... but don't have time to search the archives.

Teachin'Mine Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 Here's the thread Regentrude's referring to. Ester Maria describes how the different sciences are taught each year. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amsunshine Posted May 8, 2011 Share Posted May 8, 2011 I believe this is the thread. I am also interested in watching 2 Million Minutes, but at $25 per chapter, that's a pretty hefty price (I think there are 4 or 5 chapters published right now?). My library doesn't appear to carry these. Can't find them on Netflix, either. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teachin'Mine Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 You didn't link! (Or computer ate link...) Oh no!!!!! I can't believe I did that!! Do you know how much searching it took to find the thread and then I forgot to paste the link?! :svengo: Thank you Amsunshine - that's what I had found too. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
