kanagnostos Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm rethinking Science for this year because I can't find a traditional curriculum that suits me. Does anyone have suggestions for online middle-school science curricula? I'd like something that's meaty enough that it could be used as a stand-alone curriculum without much supplementing. I like the looks of Adaptive Curriculum, but I can't find a lot of information about how it's used in a homeschool setting, if there's a curriculum to follow, etc... So, please share any suggestions you might have for ds12. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I am not sure about online science outside of K12, but I am sure it exists. have you searched this forum for science threads? There are a lot of them. Don't forget a tag search as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lauracolumbus Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I don't know anything about it, but "Super Charged Science" is on sale today only on HSBC. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommybostic Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Maybe I've missed something from before, but what about K12? We use it for science. My 11 year old son just started Earth Science today. We did Science 5 last year. We both liked it. All the materials are there for you except for basic household stuff. It's a little pricey, but worth it to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaSheep Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 The state of Utah has an online science "Sci-ber text" that is evidently used as a textbook for science classes. I don't know if this would be helpful, but it's accessible online for free. Here's a link: http://www.uen.org/core/science/sciber/sciber3/index.shtml This will look like a 3rd grade program, but there are tabs for other grades up through 9th. Here are direct links to middle school sections: Sixth grade: http://www.uen.org/core/science/sciber/sciber6/index.shtml Seventh grade: http://www.uen.org/core/science/sciber/sciber7/index.shtml Eighth grade: http://www.uen.org/core/science/sciber/sciber8/index.shtml HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBCaroline Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 For physical science, we are using this: http://www.lucideducation.com/PhysicalScience.php Easy to follow weekly syllabus, dvd lectures, student notebooks, labs, tests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
