Hadassah Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I'm looking for a good, secular, one-year general science program for an advanced 7th-grader. He will be starting the high school science sequence next year because he is very science-oriented. Up to this point, we haven't used a formal curriculum, but we have done a lot of exploration, nature study, recreation center classes, etc., and I feel that he has a strong science foundation.. I just want to do a formal general science program before moving into high school science. Any recommendations? Thanks, Hadassah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily_Grace Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) Have you looked at Intellego? They're unit studies, but each one is about 2 months long. We use Noeo, which uses living books but they have no general science course. They're broken into three disciplines: biology, chemistry, and physics. Moving Beyond The Page is also a secular unit study format but they only have semester 1 available for ages 11-13 right now.

lewelma Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 igcse out of the UK has a 10th grade 1-year general science curriculum. Might be too much for a 7th grader, but perhaps not depending on his level of advancement and his personal interests. http://www.cie.org.uk/qualifications/academic/middlesec/igcse/subject?assdef_id=884 Ruth in NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nd293 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I've been very impressed with K12 Science. I'm not sure if they have a general science course at Gr 7 level, but it is worth a look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
