MiniBlondes Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 My DD's have always loved Magic School Bus and I'm considering getting a subscription to their monthly club. If not this year, then possibly next year. But I'm curious about the format. So they send you a 'kit' once a month? Is the kit intended for daily use? Is it a 'curriculum' or just a box of experiments? Is it a curriculum or a supplement? Thank you! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garddwr Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I think they send a kit every month--I've been looking into it for my kids who are also Magic School Bus fans. In case you haven't seen it, Homeschool Buyer's Co-op has a deal where you can subscribe to the club for 50% off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know... that's what I've been looking at, too. :tongue_smilie: I just didn't know if it was a box full of experiments or is it an actual curriculum?

I did one of their kits with my oldest several years ago. There is teaching included, if that is what you mean by curriculum. Each kit is about a particular theme--I think we did one on germs? Can't quite remember, it's been too long. I don't think I would call it a complete curriculum but it's way more exciting than most book style curricula.

awisha. Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I don't know if they are the same, but Rainbow Resource sells MSB science kits. Have you had a look at them yet?? http://www.rainbowresource.com/prodlist.php?subject=11&category=6880 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forgiven Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I receive their Science Club kits each month. My friend does as well. I don't use mine for our science curriculum (we use apologia). My friend incorporates them into their science, but she hasn't done all of them yet (neither have I--holding off for rainy days, I suppose). My friend did do a few over the summer and called it "Science Camp". They cover a broad spectrum of science. I could easily see it being the only science done for younger children, but my 4th grader would need more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniBlondes Posted August 10, 2012 Author Share Posted August 10, 2012 That's exactly what I needed to know, thank you. I love the Science camp idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAR Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 We also receive the kits, and our 4th and 2nd graders love them. We read the relevant MSB books, add some more of our research and perform the experiments. It is definitely a supplement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
