Chrysalis Academy Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 The library and the great outdoors. :iagree: Whatever they are interested in. There will be plenty of time in the future to do formal science programs - right now, just whatever helps them see how cool, interesting, and mindblowing science can be. For my 11 yo, this year it was Astronomy, which led to an interest in learning some basic physics. For my 7 yo, it's mostly been animals, animals, and more animals, plus anything Bill Nye, Wild Kratt, and Magic Schoolbus have to offer. We got some kits, made some oobleck, watched mold grow on bread, made butter and sourdough starter . . . whatever is interesting and engaging.

sdobis Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 My 10 year old loves SciGirls videos on YouTube. We also check out library books, use AHa! Science ($15 a year), and fun science projects. We just bought a Solar system kit to paint and put together. Nothing planned out for us, and her science literacy is very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AimeeM Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Behold and See for youngers (elementary age); Ellen McHenry for middle school or grade 5+ (and I still love Behold and See at this age too). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGHEALTHYMOM Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 http://www.christianbook.com/science-in-the-beginning/jay-wile/pd/042455?item_code=WW&netp_id=1180668&event=ESRCG&view=details I am looking at this now... I am at a home school convention and I glanced at it today. I believe it is for K-6 and I did see some of the lab list... so far it looks like easy to find items. The Kit is too high for me to buy so I am interested to see if I can put it together as we go. I like that it does have different suggestions for 3 levels in it.

ChrissySC Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Two things were attractive to my girls at those ages, Pandia's science and CM's Nature Study methods. Quick and easy with drawing/picture taking and lots of interaction needed from them, not me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unsinkable Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Science Explorer series by prentice hall supplemented with tons of hands-on stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThisIsTheDay Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Personal favorite is Jeannie Fulbright's Elementary Apologia series. My kids are older now, but I've kept all of the books we used (and even one or two that we didn't make it to). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
