Homeschooling6 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 (edited) I might switch Annette to HOD next year using Res. to Ref. but she is really enjoying Queen's Homeschool A Nature Walk with Aunt Bessie. I had hoped to continue with Queen's science. Now that I'm thinking of switching her to HOD next school year and HOD's science looks good as well I'm not sure which way to go. This will be her first year using HOD so my thoughts are, maybe a lighter science program will be a good thing, since the program looks to be pretty full. From looking at the HOD samples, I like the narration and copywork. I guess I should print sample week:D. Would like to hear what others think about HOD science. I guess doing both science programs is out, aack:tongue_smilie: Thank you, Edited January 28, 2012 by Homeschooling6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue G in PA Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I actually liked the Science in RtR. Carrie chose Apologia Astronomy to use for the first few month. I am not familiar with Queen's science so I don't know how involved it is to say whether or not you could do both. Fridays are "free" days in HOD so you "might" be able to use both. OR...you could omit the experiments (usually day 4) in HOD science and use Queen's on those days. OR...if she really enjoys Queen's...do it over the summer and then use HOD during the year? I wanted to add also that in the newest guide coming out in the summer (Missions to Modern Marvels) Carrie is using Barry Stebbing's NEW Nature Study art proram. I am SOOOOO excited. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue G in PA Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Go to the HOD board and search for "Missions to Modern Marvels Sneak Peak #5" I THINK it's under that one. There are several of those threads started by Carrie letting us know about different aspects of the new Guide. Sounds awesome! I can't wait to use it! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
