Bee Happy Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Does anyone have any good links/schedule/literature to go along with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deniseibase Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Well, I used these to teach a co-op class last year, and we used the Quest Guides that go with the first two books, there were plenty of suggested activities in those. But we also supplemented with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkJXFGLWSmY when we got to the chapter on early number systems, that was a HUGE hit. I'd be aware that the first book is a MUCH easier read than the second book, and the second book is somewhat easier than the third. We only covered the first two books in the co-op class, and I typically had the kids read 3 chapters of Aristotle Leads the Way compared to one chapter of Newton at the Center. My own family only is reading Einstein Adds a New Dimension, but I am reading it aloud to the kids, with plenty of interruptions for further discussion - particle physics if pretty bizarre stuff!! :) It's a great series and an excellent background to high school science studies, especially for children who might not be terribly interested in science for its own sake - my DD is much more interested now when the conversation turns to anything scientific if she can place it in the narrative of history from our studies.

Bee Happy Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Thanks a lot. I have the first book and I'm determined to use it with my 5th and 7th grader some sort of way. I want them to get as much out of it as they can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
