heidip2p Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I am looking for science for our 2nd and 4th grade boys. We have been using Apologia Zoology and it isn't getting done. So I am looking for something interesting that includes some sort of notebooking/lapbooking. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heidip2p Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 NOEO might work for you. Can I buy just the IG and then purchase the readers as needed or do I have to purchase the whole kit? We love Sonlight for history and this looks quite similar. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is really a reading schedule/pacing guide with the occasional recommended activity. It is easy to use as is or plump up with additional books and projects. We are Week 14 into NOEO Bio 1 (2nd Grade) and my daughter and I are both very satisfied with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 I second Elemental Science. If you just get the teachers book and the nootebook then you can use books your library has that might be similar to what they suggest. The teachers guide tells your the subject covered each day so any book that has a pg on the subject will do. However, the Jan Van CLeave book is needed but most libraries carry her stuff. This course takes 10-15 mins tops, has notebooking, and an experiment a week that does not require expensive supplies. It even has several long tern projects. I think a lapbook is available for this curriculum also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 For early eled we always just did tons of reading, videos, mags (Ranger Rick, etc) nature walks, you could throw in some journaling. Here's a simple, lovely get ya started on nature journaling. Our kids also enjoy NOAA, NASA web-sites with dh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 You might take a look at Easy Classical's science schedules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the look of NOEO, but DD is a very hands on type of child! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does include some experiments and some hands on projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
