thowell Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I have attached the schedule I finally finished for our year of Physical Science. As you will see I was planning on doing the Concepts in Action lab book for experiments. Well, I just added up the bill for materials and it is way over $200. HELP!!! This is way out of my budget. I need to find another source of labs so I dont have to scrap all this planning. Any ideas or thoughts would be welcomed. Thanks! Oh, BTW I had thought about keeping the schedule but mixing it with the schedule of experiments and videos on Easy Peasy. Would that work and be enough for an 8th grader? What other options do I have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thowell Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 Wait where is the file I attached? Can anyone tell me how to do that?? UGH!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dereksurfs Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 Interesting question. I'm also listening. :bigear: BTW, how about just posting your schedule in the body of the thread if attaching isn't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heathermomster Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I aligned the Logos Science labs with CIA Physical Science text. Logos cost about $199; however, you can use all of the labs. Logos labs are aligned to BJU Physical Science, which presents motion type labs first followed by chemistry. Logos labs are more motion directed, so I was thinking about adding an easy polymer lab and maybe some basic food chemistry tests. This is all planned for the fall.

thowell Posted June 22, 2013 Author Share Posted June 22, 2013 I found this one http://curriculumexpress.com/physical-science-lab-kit.html It is a little cheaper. Anyone use this before? Any reviews? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NittanyJen Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Look at: Physics With Toys (1st edition; the 2nd edition uses mostly K'Nex, which you would then have to buy) for ideas. Or look over the Science Wiz kits. There are several experiments in each, and each kit is just $20. They come with everything you need, except for an occasional 9-V battery, water, or rubbing alcohol, and they work. They include feathers, paperclips, plastic cups, marbles, all those obnoxious to obtain things. For Physical science, you could pick and choose from Inventions, Light, Magnetism, and several others. The color kit is too young for your crew, I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Country Girl Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 We used the Logos kit this last year and aligned it with Derek Owens. It worked well for us and I will be buying the Logos Life Science kit this year. There were a few labs that didn't line up exactly, but I still think it was a good addition.
