A.J. at J.A. Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Hi all! We have decided to go with Apologia science (Human A&P for my 6th grader - Gen Sci/Physical Sci combo for my 8th grader) Anyway, in the past one of our struggles with science has always been in not having all the supplies on hand when we are ready to do an experiment - thus delaying the lesson. Apologia has science kits available that go with their curriculum and I was wondering if it is worth it to purchase them. They seem expensive for the products it contains - but it appears that all the items are sorted by module to make it almost idiot proof. Hmmm...just wanted to get some feedback from others who use Apologia to see what you guys have done. If you purchase the kits - are they worth the $$...if you do not purchase the kits do you have a system in place? "Winging it" doesn't work for me - I've tried! LOL!

garddwr Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I've used kits for several of the elementary books, and it was worth it for me--stress free, and activities/demonstrations actually happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curlylocks Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I like the kits and feel they are worth every penny. That being said, I would take a look at Home Science Tools and Nature's Workshop. They both offer Apologia kits and their prices are very reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased the full Nature's Workshop kits from christianbook.com and got free shipping! YEAH! Blessings, Angela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
