Annie Laurie Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Noeo comes with a kit for experiments, books to read and dicuss and notebooking pages. The books include some biographies. Level 1 says ages 5-8. I haven't received mine yet, so can't say firsthand, but form what I hear, creation isn't mentioned and the books are secular.

Monkey Island Academy Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 This is exactly the kind of science I am looking for, too. Bumping this post up again for you Darcy, in hope of more ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdogs29906 Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 I would think NOEO would suit you pretty well. It is pretty secular, has great books, it is very easy to tweak, and you can get the experiment kits (they come with everything you could possibly need). I've only done the Level I courses, so I can't say anything about the other courses. My kids, give the thumbs up. -Multi-level: acceptable for 4th grader, but adaptable for special needs/preKer -Old earth -creation & adaptation / or evolution (I can ad lib!) -Prefer secular over Christian, but see above -Lots of reading lists, sources for read alouds -scientist bios as well as experiments -has a kit with everything I'll need already in it.
