caedmyn Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Who has a literature-based science curriculum for elementary ages besides Simply Charlotte Mason and Noeo? This would be for 1st, 3rd, and 5th grades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8filltheheart Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Your library. 😉 Seriously, for those ages all you need to do is let them check books out of the library on any science topics that interest them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bay Lake Mom Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 You might enjoy Elemental Science. It would work well for those ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This. We combine this approach with a lot of time in nature, visiting the science and natural history museums, hands-on science kits, and child-designed experiments. But there are a lot of library books involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I just bought Mystery Science 😞 Would the Sassafras novels be good for kids to read on their own? My literature-loving daughter loves Sassafras Science, and I was really surprised at how much she retained this year. I buy the printed novels and the audio files. I think the notebooks are good for reinforcement, so I also buy the student logbook and the teacher's guide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I really disliked Sassafras. My kids thought it was super lame. Actual books from the library for the win. No curriculum needed but an outline of what you want to study or a desire to just go where the books lead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
macmacmoo Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 if you are considering Elemenatl Science Sassafras you should also look at Barefoot Meanderings Quark Series http://barefootmeandering.com/site/quark-chronicles/ Guest Hollow https://www.guesthollow.com/homeschool/curriculum.html has some science curriculum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not worthwhile reading? The writing is terrible IMO. You might have her read a sample first to see if she likes it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
