PH Science Explorer -- Student Express CD roms -- who uses these?

How do you schedule?

 

I just bought a set from Elle (Thanks Elle!) and I'm not sure quite what to do w/ them.

 

Any input/experience would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance! :)

Anyone?

I saw your post... but didn't really have an answer for you. :)

 

The text of the book is on the CD, but we have the print version that we read from.

 

The Active-Art things are on the CD, but it is quicker to view them online with the code from the book rather than finding it on the CD.

 

The student worksheets are on the CD, but I mostly print from the Teacher Express CD which contains the worksheets from all 16 books at once, along with the answers.

 

So........ I'm not really using my Student Express CDs for anything at the moment. :) Sorry I'm not much help (but I didn't want you to think your message was being ignored).

I'm not familiar with the Student Express CD either, but I can give you a brief idea of how I ended up scheduling our first PH book.

 

Quite simply, we cover one section per day w/corresponding wkbk pages. At the end of each chapter we have a lab zone day using the Lab Zone CD. This is followed by a testing day. Science takes about an hour each day--some days a little less, some days 5-10 minutes more.

 

I hope this helps you at least get started with your planning.

Thanks, gals.

 

The books are quite popular here. I got a screamin' deal on 13 of the Student Express CD's. I'll have dc read from screen (rather than book) and do the activities (I think).

 

To be continued...:)

Where did you get tests for the SE series?

[Beth in SW WA]

I'm not doing the tests. I bet PH has them, though. You might want to give them a call. Their website isn't very helpful.
