Aloha2U Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 If so, which levels of GDS did you use and when did/will you make the switch? After 8th grade... starting with BJUP Science 9: Physical Science? :lurk5: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narrow Gate Academy Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 We're making the switch in 7th grade here. As much as we've loved the GD books this year, I would feel compelled to supplement them to use them for 7th and 8th. Switching for 7th gives a couple of years to get used to the format of BJU book and the requirements I have for written lab reports before we hit high school and the grades start counting toward her GPA. My oldest did... 6th - Heaven & Earth with siblings and Chemistry/Ecology independently last year (We're doing a bit of catch up in science topics with her.) for her upcoming 7th - BJU Life Science independently and the GD physical series with her sister My plan for DD2 is: 4th - Heaven & Earth 5th - Physical 6th - Chemistry & Ecology 7th - BJU Life HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloha2U Posted June 27, 2011 Author Share Posted June 27, 2011 Thank you! This is exactly what I was wondering. So does this progression for your DD2 mean that you'll have her do... 8 - BJU Space and Earth 9 - BJU Physical, etc. (?) or will you have her start BJU Physical in 8th? :001_smile: Melissa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree very much. (I haven't used them with the same dc, but I have used GDS with my little guy and I use BJU with my older gals.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When will you make the switch from GDS to BJU? Would you mind sharing your progression? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll likely go to school in 7th grade, so I probably won't ever get to that point with him. If I was, based on my experience with BJU, I would start Life Science in 6th grade and progress through in order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
