alicai Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I haven't been able to find anything I want to do for science next year, and since I'm already planning to orient our LA around history, I got to thinking it might be interesting to do a series of science units that correlate with our history. Has anyone done this? Any resources? My preliminary Googling produced little. We are going to be using Bookshark2/SOTW2 - Middle Ages-ish.

scoutingmom Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Dr. Wile has a new elementary science series that does science following history. The first one is 'Science in the Beginning' The next is 'Science in the Ancient World' etc.... (Of course, this is creation science. I'm not sure your world view. I know Science in the Beginning doesn't have a whole lot of religious references and I know a non-religious person who used it, just leaving out the couple of references to it. Not sure about the later ones though.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMOm Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Jay Wile has a new science series that is history oriented. I think, but am not sure, that Beautiful Feet might have a history orientated science curriculum as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momto6inIN Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Dr. Jay Wile's Science in the Beginning series goes through science chronologically. So far there is Science in the Beginning, Science in the Ancient World, and Science in the Scientific Revolution. It's decidedly creationist though, if that matters to you either way. While Dr. Wile himself is young earth, the series is much less dogmatic than Apologia and can be adapted either for a young earth or an old earth view. https://www.bereanbuilders.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hottater Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Considering God's creation is good for the the first accounts of creation. It covers lots except for chemistry and physics. Oops, nevermind, doesn't have enough of a history component for your needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momto2Cs Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Beautiful Feet's Science curriculum The Story of Science, by Joy Hakim You could use sections from Science: The Definitive Visual Guide. It is ordered chronologically, and is quite appealing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdventuresinHomeschooling Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Elemental Science also aligns their science with WTM in the topics suggested by SWB, but not in historic order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
