Closeacademy Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 The Elements by McHenry is topping our list for science next year. What do you think about this curriculum? Thanks.:bigear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patchfire Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 We just started it a few weeks ago and so far we are really enjoying it. I am not much of a projects girl but these are very do-able for us. I think we may follow up with Carbon Chemistry over the summer for fun. If you want something experiment-heavy, it might not be the best thing for you. We are using a few experiment kits alongside it, and there are a few suggested experiments. Dd read Basher's The Periodic Table before we started but it would make a great fun accompaniment as well.

elegantlion Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 We just finished this and loved it. You can take it as deep as you want to go. It's a fun way to teach kids about the elements. We switched chemistry curriculum several times this year and wish we had started with the Elements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closeacademy Posted April 7, 2009 Author Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks. My dd liked the first chapter of the book when I showed it to her. I don't mind supplementing with some experiment kits either. Just wanted to find something fun and informative. Thanks.:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
