We are doing Astronomy now and love it! Buying the lab kit from natures workshop was one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time…so convenient

The ability to purchase a lab kit makes it MUCH easier to implement hands on activities!

Wow, that looks really fun! I didn’t realize it is just two days a week for 28 weeks. That seems doable.

@SevenInAll 10 ай бұрын

Yes! It's a good-sized textbook but not at all gigantic or overwhelming, and not something that has to be done everyday.

@@SevenInAll I’ve always had it in my mind that apologia science is “too much” so this was very eye opening. I don’t do much formal science in elementary years beyond memory work and exploring interests from there via books and real life experience, but I did do some unit studies with the girls when they hit upper elementary. Im keeping this in mind for my boys when they are a bit older. I could totally see this working well with them in a few years. That notebook looked so interactive (not dry worksheets to regurgitate info which bores my kids to tears) and the textbook looked very engaging as well. Thanks so much for this flip through. When are you planning to use this with your boys?

@@faithfullyinfertile I really like the feature of the interactive notebook--so many fun cut-outs, definitely not dry. I think we'll probably do this one during Cy's 2nd grade year, that's what I have tentatively 'sketched out' in my mind.

Thanks for sharing... that looks so good and sooooo much better than the older edition!!! Man, I was a year too late. :( There is SUCH a difference between the older editions and these new ones. Wishing we would have had this updated version last year. We recently purchased the new edition of Earth Science from Apologia... and it is really nice, but definitely on the easier side for my 4th grader (at least so far.) If I did things over again I would switch the order a bit... hindsight is 20/20 though and we will make things work. :)

@SevenInAll 10 ай бұрын

They definitely made some big improvements! Order of difficulty can be kind of hard to pin down with these Apologia programs...I think that's one of the downsides of trying to make these workable for a broad age range, because some of the volumes are definitely more difficult than others.

@kimberlywiegert2159 10 ай бұрын

Just curious, is this the science you are planning to use with your boys next year? Also, do you by chance have any thoughts about the Beautiful Feet science? Sonlight also looks good…oh the choices! :)

@SevenInAll 10 ай бұрын

My current science plan is to do both Sonlight and Apologia in 1st and 2nd grade...we're loving Sonlight Science K right now and my son gobbles it up...we finish 1 week in 2-3 days and kinda wish we had more science. I have a friend who did both Apologia and Sonlight in elementary with a science-loving student so we're going to try it out. I did purchase both the Astronomy and the Zoology 1 from Apologia...so I will probably do Astronomy first, for next year, because I think it's supposed to be slightly easier. The "Seasons Afield" science from Beautiful Feet is the only early elementary science program that I know of from Beautiful Feet. It looks beautiful, but it's based around the 4 seasons and the nature of a temperate climate, as far as I can tell, so I think it would require too many adjustments to work well for us in our tropical home without the 4 seasons.

I’ve always wanted to use the Zoology series, but my daughter didn’t like the older look of it. 🤦🏻‍♀️ Do you know if they’re working on the other two in subsequent years?

@SevenInAll 10 ай бұрын

It seems like Apologia has been gradually working on releasing new editions of their science courses, so my guess is that the other Zoology texts will also receive updates...however I have not heard any announcements or specific timelines. From what I have heard from those who used the older version of this Zoology 1, the new edition is a big improvement!

@@SevenInAll Especially the old notebooking journals were very old and boring. I used Astronomy and it was really nice.

I didnt know how much insects/creepy crawlies would be part of parenting either! So many catepillary things i'm asked to "mom! Come look!" My only rule: All living buggies must stay OUTside. 😂

I have never seen so many bugs in my life as I have the past 5 years...haha! That's also a fairly firm rule in my house...although we have had a scorpion as a pet for the last six months or so...that certainly wasn't MY idea. lol.
