NotSoObvious Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'm leaning toward this for 6th, 7th, and 8th. What do I buy? What extra equipment did you end up needing for Earth Science? To those of you who have used one year of it, are you continuing? Did it work for you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsquirrel Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Well, you need a student text book. Or you can download one here: http://alms.hermiston.k12.or.us/science-text-books I liked having the teacher book because it has the answers. That was a big help! It also has a schedule etc The student record sheets are here: http://www.cposcience.com/home/Home/tabid/119/Default.aspx Look under the tabs for educators and you will see 'middle school earth science' etc. As for what you need for each book, I don't have a list. I went through the student record sheets (the experiments) and made a list of what was needed for every experiment. Then I loaded up my cart at Home Science Tools and made a list for Home Depot etc. Most of the stuff I could buy, but a little had to be made. I got it all done in the summer so we were ready to go for the school year. I have done the Earth and Space book. If I had know about CPO I would have also used the Life Science book in 5th grade. I have the middle school physical science book, but am not convinced I can manage that one at home, next year. It calls for lots of specialized equipment.
