Earth and Space was wonderful. We are only 2 lessons into chemistry, but the boys are enjoying learning something that is really new to them. Today they added that quirky book on the periodic table to their arsenal (which also consisted of wooden sword and shield, nerf guns, and bicycle tire air pumps). It was a spell book, and when they shouted out the symbol, the element (apparently :)) came shooting out their fingers. We haven't used the physics book yet (next year), but I'm really looking forward to it!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05878817427434603915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-81244766219948813892010-04-12T08:34:30.198-07:002010-04-12T08:34:30.198-07:00Oh my goodness!

We've always been a scientific minded family... lots of inquiries and experimenting and journaling, so I've never felt a real need to do a curriculum, but more and more I've been thinking that the RIGHT one... one that it somewhat narrative and engaging would be a nice addition to our studies. I've yet to find one that I love though. It seems like they're all sort of arbitrary and don't really inspire real learning. <br />This one sounds like one that I need to look into though! So far, which was your favorite?Stefanihttp://www.blueyonderranch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-18611414911393224972010-04-09T19:35:13.855-07:002010-04-09T19:35:13.855-07:00It never ceases to amaze me what you do with your ...It never ceases to amaze me what you do with your kids!<br /><br />Also I LOVE the Easter shots in the last post. So what gets printed and framed around your house? There are too many to choose from:)!<br /><br />Happy Easter!Laurelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07883134785413980728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5750282299627894194.post-12550454981641179992010-04-09T11:42:23.945-07:002010-04-09T11:42:23.945-07:00I first heard about the Christian Kids Explore boo...I first heard about the Christian Kids Explore books from you. We love them! We did biology last year, finished Earth and Space last week and plan to start Chemistry in the Fall. I am so glad you shared about this series.heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12440806925350092398noreply@blogger.com
