Condessa Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 https://www.amazon.com/Elementary-Science-Education-Shannon-Jordan/dp/1478794666 Has this already been discussed somewhere? This lady has gone through and essentially fixed the organizational and execution problems with BFSU. It takes the same lessons, but distills them down to what to actually teach and gives a suggested lesson order and very clear supply lists and directions on what prep is required. It sounds like exactly what I always wanted. Has anyone used it? The irony is that it is only for the first volume of BFSU, which we are nearly done with. I need the volume 2 version. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebbyribs Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Thank you, thank you! I was procrastinating on doing this for my next school year, and it sounds like I probably want to just go with this guide. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arliemaria Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 The review mentions this is abridged. What is left out of from the original publication? I haven't bought the original book, but have been curious about this book for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomeAgain Posted June 22, 2018 Share Posted June 22, 2018 Much of what the author did is available as free resources within the BFSU community. Last year I printed out the free suggested lesson plan (including book lists) and the free supply lists for each thread, and had a really easy time of it. This time around I have the vol. 2 lesson plan and the links all set up. I haven't seen a supply list but that isn't that hard to make on my own with all the rest of the support there.

Condessa Posted June 22, 2018 Author Share Posted June 22, 2018 Ooh, where did you find those? Could you share a link? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My apologies, I thought I had grabbed them directly from the BFSU community, (I believe I did for vol 1) but while there are links for each individual lesson, I grabbed this year's list from Our Small Corner - and it does have a supply/book list for vol. 2 that I didn't add to my notebook for some reason. They have resources for the first two volumes up: lesson plan, books and supplies. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems so much simpler (than the flowchart-across-sections method). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No...I used this that I found on the site (and I can't find now, lol) to help me plan through. I'm glad I bookmarked it! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VT9rD39JrpJt6N73tQ6vA2JjbHM7tjcUpQQHm7bD1ck/preview 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a bit overwhelmed when I looked at the flowcharts in the beginning so the first thing I did was search for a suggested lesson plan. LOL No use in me reinventing the wheel if someone has already done it! ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
