sweetpea3829 Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 (edited) So, for the last couple of years, I've written my own science curriculum. Usually following a similar sequence of topic material, good literature and reading materials, lapbook, and projects/experiments/demonstrations. But it's SO much legwork, and I'm running out of time to even begin for this coming Science semester. Any ideas/thoughts on 6-8 week studies of these specific topics: Oceanography, Meteorology, Astronomy? Anything already packaged and done? Update with ages/grades: I teach one science "class" with all four of my children. The oldest two, ages 11 and 10, have higher expectations than the younger two, turning 8 and 9.

hellen Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I don't know how old your kid is, but this might work. It's a very in depth class from the National Weather Service. http://www.srh.noaa.gov/jetstream/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverMoon Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 My astronomy lover has really enjoyed Astronomy for All Ages by Harrington this year. The projects have been interesting and worthwhile. It's loaded with them. A telescope and star watching books would be plenty to round it out. The Kids Book of Weather Forecasting went over fairly well too. Put a weather station kit with it perhaps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each book teaches to three different levels. We have all three of these books, and they are beautiful! They are so colorful and informative, that my son read them for fun.

My4arrows Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 You may want to look into winterpromise adventures of sea and sky (I believe that's what it is called). It covers those areas in science but it does have history and bible included in the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
