lots-o-rice Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I have curriculum ADD. I admit it. My last child should be doing the same material that all the others have done, but I need something different. She has done some topical years in the past, and 6th grade will be the ellen McHenry chem. So, this year, 5th grade, I would like to do a year of general science. I have been looking at different options but I am underwhelmed. I need something easy for me to implement and not too expensive as I won't be using this more than once. I am open to any options. We have used Christian things before, but it really doesn't matter right now. Thanks for any suggestions, K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 How about interest led with the resources the older kids left behind on the shelves for her? Spend X minutes daily learning with whatever one she likes and discussing her findings with you. Shepherd Science's Introductory Science is fairly inexpensive. Online self-paced videos and a workbook to go with it, mild amount of hands on projects using typical household items. (This is sitting on my shelf for one of my little ones because I won it in a drawing, but I admit I haven't really looked at it much. DD/2nd says it's awesome. *shrug*) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lots-o-rice Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 Wow! I hadn't heard of that one. I think it might be the winner. I love that I don't have to teach it, but I can still do the activities with her to be sure she's getting it. It's one year access and thats all I need . Thanks for the suggestion!

SilverMoon Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Glad my comment was useful. :) I'd heard about Aha. Uzinggo is another online option. The middle school path covers earth, physical, and life. My 5th and 7th graders completed it over the summer on a freebie from HSBC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
