mo2 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'm debating between Elemental Science and Intellego unit studies. I'm looking for something that can be done fairly independently (except for the experiments, of course). Can anyone weigh in on this?

TarynB Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Which branch(es) of science do you want to focus on? We're using logic stage Elemental Science and like it. My DS enjoys the encyclopedia spines (he likes efficiency, not wordy narratives) and he usually reads extra pages from them for fun. We pick and choose which writing activities to do. It is open and go. I appreciate the discussion guide, the vocab sheets, the clear & simple labs, the tests. Never used Intellego, but their science offerings appear to be limited at that age. Just personal preference, but the extra internet screen-time, and eye-strain from reading on our laptop, required for Intellego wouldn't be good here. I've heard that sometimes Intellego's links are outdated/inactive but I have no experience with that. Could just be me, but I've always thought of Intellego as supplemental. Does Intellego include any hands-on labs? If not, and you want some, we've had good luck with TOPS kits. I can recommend a few if you like.

Dolphin Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I would do a search for this on the logic and middle school challenge sub-board. There has been a lot of science chat there. We like Galore Park Science. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
