LNC Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I have done Christian Kids Explore Biology and now Earth/Space with my 4th&2nd grade children. We plan on adding Apologia Astronomy next semester. I'm not sure they will be ready to study Chemistry and Physics in the next couple years - though that could be a question for another post! We will use something intense for middle school /high school bc my son and daughter already know they want to have science/medicine careers. I love how consistent we have been with CLE LA, Math and Reading. They just thrive with workbooks. I don't like CLE for science though bc we like color photos/pics for science. We have made beautiful notebooks for science and read countless library books but it is a lot of work to get that all together. I would like workbooks with added reading. I searched Alpha Omega Lifepacs on the boards and it has horrid reviews. It looks so appealing though! Especially with a lab kit from Home Training Tools. Does anyone like Lifepacs for elementary science? Or any other workbook approach? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragons in the flower bed Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 Or any other workbook approach? I kind of like the Basic Not Boring workbooks. We are pulling a few pages from their Earth Science this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone like Lifepacs for elementary science? Or any other workbook approach? I have used Alpha Omega Science before for elementary. It was hard for me because I was overseas and couldn't get the 'around the house' stuff for the experiments. I would use them again if we went back to workbooks, however. I actually clicked on this thread to recommend them before I knew that's what you're looking at. Personally, I prefer Apologia elemen. or Real Science 4 Kids, but for something workbooky and easy to use Alpha Omega is very good! Overall these boards aren't into workbooks, I think, so could be why the bad review. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quad Shot Academy Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 I like the Steck-Vaughn Science Workbooks. http://rainbowresource.com/prodlist.php?sid=1225225619-888351&subject=11&category=2810 I haven't used them yet, but plan to after our first four year rotation, before starting Apologia.
