love2read Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 (edited) I'm trying to remember the name of the book, or maybe it was a science curriculum, that introduced science concepts from the perspective of magnitudes. It is not "Universite in My Hands" but it is similar in idea. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Edited November 4, 2008 by love2read added emphasis about it not being "Universe" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 yep. The Universe in My Hands by Mary Daly You can buy them here.Sacred Heart Books and Gifts | Catholic Books | Catholic Gifts or from her (google for her addy) or from Love2Learn blog (I think). I know Mary (not the political activist M.Daly but the homeschooler) and she is brilliant! I have the highest regard for her- her books on science and diagramming are stellar:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy101 Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I have Universe in My Hands and would love to get it OFF my hands. It's terrible to empliment and I don't imagine ever using it. I think it's the worst science material I've ever purchased. The concept is intriging and unique. And difficult to articulate and manage and empliment and is rather more teacher intense than I expected. Nothing against Mary Daly at all. Sure she's a great lady. I just didn't like this material. UinMH references these books, which you might be thinking of?

love2read Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 It's not "The Universe". I had that one and disliked it. There is another one with the same idea, but much better and I can't remember it's name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa B Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 There is a book called Powers of Ten. I don't know if it is a program of any sort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
