Tami Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 We are just beginning the Monster Storms unit, and it is such a fantastic approach to middle school science. And the best part is...it is FREE online! All we had to do is register, and everything is right there in the Mission Center: hyperlinked student text, teacher's manual (when you register as a teacher) with discussion questions and extensions, cross curricular suggestions, online games, digital labs, etc. You name it, Jason's got it! Anyone else a fan? We are starting "Monster Storms" and wondering if anybody else is using this curriculum. If you've never heard of the Jason Project, and have a child in 5th/6th through 8th grades, it is definitely worth checking out!!! You have to register in order to see the online curriculum in the "Mission Center", but it is well-worth the few seconds it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tami Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 Yes, it seems to be one of the best-kept secrets out there! The online, multi-media aspect really appeals to dd. I wonder why this one doesn't get much "press?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matryoshka Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Thanks for reminding me of this! I remember finding this when my oldest were still preschool age, and thinking it would be so cool to do when they were old enough, but I'd long since forgotten about it!

I remember finding this when my oldest were still preschool age, and thinking it would be so cool to do when they were old enough, but I'd long since forgotten about it!

LunaLee Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 So Tami, are you going to use the lesson plans they provide or make up your own? Thanks for reminding me about this, ds is finally old enough to use and enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
