Shelly in IL Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I was looking at buying BJU this year and then I stumbled on Rainbow Science. It looks so great! It is a 2 year program (uses the same teacher text both x's) and comes with every little thing for doing experiments. IT is expensive, but all inclusive. I have been asking questions about it over on the h.s. board - have had very favorable responses from those ladies and they feel it is very suitable for high school prep and college prep. What I like about it is this = Not dry and boring (did Apologia Gen. Science this year - very in depth, but dry and colorless). The author uses humor and catches the kids' attention. Also, it is geared to be child independent (although I"m sure I'm going to tag along), and the sections per day are fairly short and to the point - not TONS of reading each day like Apol. Has good discussion questions, etc. I think it is set up to do 2 lessons per week + 1 lab. (H.s. Board says if your kid is high science - do the schedue to finish it all in one year). My son and I are both looking forward to this program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marsha Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 I am contemplating... Apologia General Science, Life Science with Real Books, or Adventures in the Sea and Sky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeschoolmomof6 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 We'll be using either Apologia General Science or Sonlight Science 6. I can't seem to make up my mind. Blessings, Amanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagira Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Singapore Science is another alternative. I think it's called Integrative Science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 I was debating between Apologia's General Science, Rainbow Science, and Prentice Hall. After discussing it more thoroughly in our home, we chose to give one of the Prentice Hall books a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
