HappyDoopy Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 My kids are going into 4th, 3rd, K & pre-K this year. We are (loosely) using much of the memory work content from Classical Conversations (in addition to several other things :)), & I really don't think I have time or energy to do a whole separate science curriculum. So at first I thought we will just do the CC memory work each week & i will delve a little deeper into that week's content (plant/animal classification, parts of a flower, volcanos, etc, for example). I will have my older two create science notebooks as we go. As I'm planning, however, I'm realizing it would be REALLY helpful to have a one-source go-to -- I'm picturing possibly a curriculum that I can pick and choose weekly discussions (& possibly activities/experiments), without having to necessarily have to do the entire curriculum, and possibly not in the order it's written. Does that make sense? Am I living in a fantasy world? :) I welcome any suggestions! Thanks in advance! Sarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thowell Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 If you are looking for a Christian Publisher I would say Apologia Elementary series or god's design would be great for just reading and doing projects if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDoopy Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 If you are looking for a Christian Publisher I would say Apologia Elementary series or god's design would be great for just reading and doing projects if you want. Thank you! I have been considering Apologia ~ but CC covers such a broad range of topics in one year, while Apologia delves deeply into one subject at a time (a whole year on botany, for instance). I do love how thorough it is, but for now I think I just want to touch on the topics, and delve deeper maybe in the middle school years. I hadn't heard of the other curriculum ... we are believers, but my husband would prefer we try to avoid the young earth-old earth conversation until we've covered the basics a bit more (again, perhaps in middle school). Thanks! Anyone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
