mommyto6 Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Hi, I am looking for recommendations for science for my ds5 & ds6 1st graders. So far, I've just been doing miscellaneous things with them for science, but I'd like to find a complete program with a little more structure. I have been looking at Apologia Zoology I & it looks great, but I wanted to see what else is out there that might be a better fit. I am looking for something with the following characteristics: Young Earth/Creationist PerspectiveLots of hands on Fits well with a mixed CM/Classical approach not terribly expensive minimal prep work. They LOVE learning about science, especially hands on stuff. I am looking for something that will help to grow their interest. Thank You!

elegantlion Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 What about Nature Study. Barb has weekly lessons using Handbook of Nature Study. The book is available as a pdf download or available for purchase. http://handbookofnaturestudy.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HollyDay Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 We used BJU for science early on. It was good, no complaints. If I had to do it over again, I would look at Real Science for Kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tree House Academy Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 We are using NOEO with my older son this year. My 1st grader was not quite ready for it, so with him, we are using Singapore Early Bird Start-up series Science. It is made to be done using the workbook as a guide, but living books as the core. This is what we plan to do - going more in depth with things my son is more interested in. Come 2nd grade, we will start NOEO Biology I.

Pine Ledge Academy Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 I have been through a few of the Apologia books and really like them. It doesn't over simplify things, but you can make it simple. Also, A Pocket Full of Pinecones was a neat book, I couldn't use it by itself though.
