jamnkats Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 My boys (12 and 14) and I are, as I type, listening to those same Science Songs. I was going to post about them recently but kept forgetting. I LOVE those songs. This morning, the 6yo was singing the kinetic-potential energy song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hannah Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 Does anyone know of a good, free geography curriculum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovedtodeath Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 I am working on one now. I have it mostly finished. I just have to make it fully scheduled. I am using it for first grade. I have posted about it here, but it wasn't finished. http://www.welltrainedmind.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29571 It involves lessons in Draw Write Now along with my own plans for using the library. There is an emphasis on animals/ecology/climate in the first lesson and culture in the next one for about 22 Countries. Let me know if you want me to send the finished product along. Draw Write Now books 7 and 8 are very inexpensive and they have a full curriculum plan included.... but their suggestions are for geography with ecology, not culture.

Mallory Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 We are using this for geography- http://home.wi.rr.com/penzky/geograph.htm I don't think any list of free curriculum should be without this one- http://http://oldfashionededucation.com/fullcurriculum.htm Old Fashioned Education is a free complete curriculum, I think they have to 11th grade done, and even all the books are things that are available free online.

Margo out of lurking Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 My favorite free K-5 curriculum online follows E.D. Hirsch's What Your Nth Grader Needs to Know series. The Core Knowledge website also has free lessons plans, but I've always preferred Baltimore Curriculum Project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovedtodeath Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I am trying to update this thread as I see more listed elsewhere on the boards. I hope no one minds. Invitations to Science Inquiry I have had this book for 15 years! I was missing some pages and wanted to order a new one. Well, I saw the prices on Amazon and quickly changed my mind. I found a pdf on eric and was just dumbfounded. :blink: OMG!!!! Free! Just found this fantastic site - www.teachersdomain.org. I think it's from PBS. They have video clips covering all sorts of science topics. I haven't seen United Streaming, but I'm guessing it's a somewhat similar, although smaller, free version. Right now it's all science, but the site states that it will be expanding to include language arts, social studies and math in the fall. It looks like a great supplement for our curriculum.

Lovedtodeath Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 When we started I typed in "spanish alphabet" in the youtube search bar and started browsing some videos. We found some that fit our family in the form of songs. The kids watched them and learned pretty quickly. Then they found some Boca Beth Spanish videos that taught the numbers, colors, animals, and shapes. From there we went to the Mommy Teach Me Spanish videos where they focus on a certain subject like food and they teach all the phrases and sentences pertaining to food and eating. It has been an inexpensive way of teaching our children. I am sure as they advance in their skills we will need a more organized plan but for the basics it is working well.

Lovedtodeath Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 This site has and outline of scientists and mathematicians listed under the historical period in which they lived. It then has lists of books (in the column on the right) that are arranged by time period and grade levels (including picture books) about these scientists and mathematicians and what they discovered. n-US/Default.aspx If you check the tab called Reader Lists, there are books arranged by math concepts starting with early concepts: matching, sorting, counting, and relationships.
