raindrops Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm having trouble deciding between these two. I just want an easy, cover-the-bases type science curriculum that capture my first grader's interest. The first one is endorsed by the Cambridge Int'l Exams board, and the second is a highly acclaimed Singapore program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindrops Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 This is a review I found on Heinemann: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15928377-heinemann-explore-science-student-s-book-3 4.6 rating out of 5. Does anyone have personal experience using either? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindrops Posted November 1, 2016 Author Share Posted November 1, 2016 I'm leaning more towards Singapore's now, based on reviews. This is only for one year, then I will do Nancy Larson Science with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Why not use NL 1 instead? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCal_Bear Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 (edited) I've used the new MPH (International Version)...It is much better designed than the old version. Very well laid out and organized for you to implement. However, if you don't get the Teacher's Guide, you will miss out on all the hands on activities and guided discussions and discover that the program wants you and your student to engage in. So, I would definitely plan to get the guides. I would have stayed on with this, but my kiddo prefers in-depth, extended on specific areas of study (i.e. biology, zoology, chemistry, etc.). A topical approach was not enough for him even though he did enjoy it. Edited November 2, 2016 by calbear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
