NewIma Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Have you used Story of Science by Joy Hakim? What did you think? Do you think it could work for 8th grade science? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monica_in_Switzerland Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) I have my kids read through that series during middle school. Oldest just finished it (rising 8th grade) and second just began it (rising 6th grade). I have them read 2 chapters a week, and watch two youtube videos on topics from those chapters that they find interesting. I count it as a cross between history and science, but would not have it stand a lone as science- we do other stuff as well in middle school, like Ellen McHenry's stuff.

historically accurate Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 Oldest did BYL 8, which uses the book series. She enjoyed that program, but it's not a good fit for the next two kids. This year, I am having my youngest do what Monica in Switzerland is doing with the books - reading through them and watching a video or doing a demonstration on the topic (we have a slew of experiment books here to choose something from). She will assist in middle child's chemistry labs to round it out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
