joysworld Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I thought I was all set on what I was going to use next year, but now, I just don't know. Here is what I'm looking for: inexpensive, very hands on, great living book suggestions, not a lot of coloring or drawing involved. That's the basics I would like to have. We do have BSFU, but it hasn't been hands on enough for ds. Next year I will have a second grader, 1st grader, and a tag along 4 yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeri Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 but I add on a lot of experiments and demos. I just get books out of the library, look on my own science bookshelf, get ideas from youtube, etc. I am just about finished with the first volume. I started using it this year with two sixth and a fourth grader, so I *did* have to beef up the program! But just add stuff in! Jeri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joysworld Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 I really like BSFU, but I need something that lays things out for me more. I was thinking of maybe RSO. Any other suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birchbark Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Another option is the Science Simplified series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
