hs03842 Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Has anyone done the Sassafrass Science living book series as their science curriculum for elementary school? Edited December 9, 2020 by JoyKM Quote
8filltheheart Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 Not Sassafrass, but reading whole books on science is all we ever do for science until high school equivalency. 1 Quote

Is there a list that you liked. I'd like to do this for my rising 6th grader. But she says she like science but had a horrible last two years where the science was so above her head. Quote
rjand6more Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I bought Sassafras Zoology for this year for grades 4 and 2. They read lots of living books, but they wanted a "subject". They want to "do science". I had planned on putting something together, but life happened. And I think this will fit well with our nature study of birds this year. The logbook looks like it will be perfect for my kids. They know A LOT of stuff about animals thanks to books and Wild Kratts, so I don't know if this will teach them a ton, but I think it will help them sort out all that knowledge. We are also getting a zoo membership this year since museums and the aquarium will not happen for us. 1 Quote

What are some of your favorite whole books on science? Did your kids read books like Tiner's Exploring the World of .... books?? Or can you point me in the right direction? Quote

Lots of library books, Scientists in the Field series, A View from the Oak, Jean Craighead George's nature books (13 Moons, One Day in...., etc), books recommended in Great Courses booklets....(we are talking 100s of different books over the yrs and different kids) Quote
