Momto4inSoCal Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 (edited) I'm considering using this next year but I've heard it's light. My 6th grader loves reading biographies and hates science so I'm hoping this program will be a good fit for her. I've read it is light on science though so I'm worried it won't be enough for a 6th grader. Has anyone used this program and have an opinion on it? Should I add something to beef it up? If so what would be a good addition? Edited January 9, 2016 by Momto4inSoCal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
julikins Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Bumping for you, since I'm wondering the same thing. I also thought about doing a Science focused year, instead of a history focused year. That would make my history have to correlate with our science topics of the year--Chemistry and Physics (a semester each). So I've been trying to find a history of science program that is on grade level. I really like Tiner's World of... series but it seems above grade level, and I've read that History of Science by BF is below, but perhaps that's okay, since it's not the main focus of the year? That's my predicament. If I could just find something that focuses on the history of science that is right on target... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momto4inSoCal Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 I think you and I are looking for the same thing. I was so thinking chemistry and physics along with a history of science. I looked at the Tiner series and I've considered reading it to my 6th grader and my 5th grader. My 6th grader really loves reading biographies though so I think she would enjoy the books with beautiful feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
