Just Another Jen Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I'm going to make our transcript by subject not year as we are schooling year round. We also ended up switching some curricula which means we are "off" from the regular school year. We are almost halfway through Algebra 1 (now that its clicked for her) and almost done with Biology. I know she needs to be stronger in Algebra before we start Chemistry. She would like to study Natural History after seeing it listed on the college website of a great books school. I found this syllabus and am thinking of using it until we finish Algebra. So I'm unsure if we would make it a half or whole credit. Either way is this a acceptable science credit or would it be more of a academic elective? The syllabus does include a long Naturalist type project with essays and lab forms.

laughing lioness Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I think it would be acceptable as 1/2 cr for science unless she goes into a math or science field/ school. Otherwise an elective. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corraleno Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 I think at least one of Nan's boys had Natural History as a science credit; maybe you can PM her if she doesn't respond here. FWIW, there's a really nice little textbook, written by a professor who teaches a college class in Natural History, that I think would make an excellent spine: Natural History by Michael Runtz. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bumping this old post to see if you ended up using that Natural History curriculum and if so what you thought of it. Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
