literature approach to history of science

[adrienne]

I'm considering using this program in the fall and would love any feedback from others that may have used it. Thank you, Adrienne

Or are you talking about the History of Science package from Beautiful Feet?

I haven't used the BF package, but I am planning my own course on the history of ancient science for my son for the fall. I've looked at the BF program but decided I wanted something more focused. I was wondering if there was another one I should know about?

I believe this is their only science unit study/curriculum, at least this is the only one RR sells. We currently use singapore sci in a co-op and love that too.

My dc will be in 4th grade next fall and I seem to be attracted to the BF units; although, I've not used them before.

I'm also considering their music apprec. and geography units.

the geography program when my dc were younger. This year, they asked me if we could do it again! They loved it and the books are so great.

There is a fair amount of science involved in the geography program as well. It's more of a unit study in that as well as geography it covers some science, history, and a little writing is involved as well. You could easily pull together a good amount of science out of it if you're interested.

Also, if you decide to get the geography program, order the map pack that RR sells with it. It's really amazing and the maps are beautiful when you're done with them.

We've used BF for history a few years ago. We still enjoy pulling out some of the books today.
