Elizabeth86 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 If you use this curriculum for science, what if anything do you use for geology? I'm thinking ahead on this as ds is just a first grader, but I'd love to use this for 3 - 6. I'm just trying to have a general plan for the elementary years.

Milknhoney Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Since there's no geology textbook, I bought a geology book from Master Books and just stuck in on the bookshelf, hoping they'd pick it up and read it on their own. I don't think that strategy had too much success. (I did have success with that strategy when I bought the two other zoology texts that I knew I wasn't going to cover formally). A small bit of geology was hit in the geography course we did one year. A small bit of geology is covered in Apologia's grade 7 General Science book. This year I'm planning to buy my younger a rock & mineral field guide, since she seems to be interested in that sort of thing. That's it. I seem to remember hearing a long time ago that Apologia was planning to come out with a geology book. I have no idea if that is still in the works or what the timeline is for publication.

nixpix5 Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 I did Geology as our first science study. I really love Apologia but I ended up using RS4K textbook and an experiment book for Geology called "Rock On!" It was easily to implement the experiments and my kids got alot out of it. I also checked out a few books on each topic from the library. It was a nice, easy intro to the basics. My kids were 6,6 and 7. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
