TPS Life and Physical Science?

[Rosepetal]

I'm considering TPS  Physical Science class for 6th Graders for next year. 

Can anyone give me some good feedback on the Science classes? How many are the experiments,test and quizzes through out the course? Do they have lab report writings and Science written narrations each week? How many hours of homework's given? Did this work out good for your child?

What are your opinions on those as far as difficulty, appropriate level of work for the ages, etc.? Are they rigorous?

 Thanks in advance for any input.

My DS and DD have taken both of these courses.  We loved both.  Lots of experiments and options.  Both DS and DD learned how to write lab reports and had a blast in class.  It was always the highlight of our week.  My younger DD will take the new 4th grade science class next year.  Older DS heard from Mrs. Selby (she teaches many science courses at TPS) that it is being taught by her daughter who is a Waldorf teacher.

Thank you for sharing your experiences! Have your kids done French or Math classes? Do you have to check kids Math homework eack week,scan and upload it to the teacher? How are your experiences if your kids have these classes?

Could you please tell me that are there quizzes or written narrations in TPS Science classes? How many pages of readings and homework is given per week? Thanks!
