Quiver0f10 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Would it be possible to use the instructor's guide and library books or is it necessary to purchase the kit from SL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warneral Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 At the B level that would work but you'd need supply kits and the DVD in addition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susesmiles Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Depends on how many of the books your library has. You can purchase the books used, that's what I've done. As for the DVD...well I just quit doing it because it did not coordinate with the lessons for that week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeeBeaks Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 We gave up on the DVDs. Most of the materials would be easy to get locally, but some would be a tad challenging or take a bit of time driving around to the hardware store, etc., to get. The books at the library shouldn't be a huge problem if your library has them. Depending on the level though, some are used most weeks throughout the year. I'm thinking K here with the Children's Encyclopedia that we have been doing for weeks and weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissKNG Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 We used SL Science K and I think you can definitely get away with just the IG and books. We also dropped the DVD because it didn't go along with the lessons of the week. I just made up my own projects and experiments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Building Up Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 It depends somewhat on the level. Level A and C each have a spine book that lasts for almost all of the year, so that book would be much easier to have on hand than to have to keep renewing at the library. Level B has a handful of spine books that are used for several weeks each, but would be more doable from the library I think. If you are looking at B or C, I can tell you which titles would be easiest to use from the library (based on how long they are needed for). I did Level A with a much older version, so I'm not much help with that one. I have had more success using the library for a SL Core than for SL Science, but that is also partly because my library has a much better children's fiction section than non-fiction. My approach has been to purchase the IG and the spine books, as well as titles that aren't available through a local library. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiver0f10 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 Thanks again! I was looking at Science C, although I haven't made a final decision yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
