I have a friend who uses it. She really likes it. I plan to purchase through the homeschool buyer's co-op this month.

and purchased Physical Science and Earth and Space for $20 apiece last summer. My 6th grader has been using these with much success (although a few of the concepts are a little beyond him). I have been very impressed with the coverage and presentation. If you have a kiddo who likes learning on the computer, these would be a good match. There are ancillary printable materials at the co-op, but we have only used these occasionally. Be aware these are secular and do teach evolution/old earth.

My 8th grader has used both Physical Science and Life Science. We've been very pleased with them, although I think that they probably wouldn't be a good stand-alone curriculum for a child who is deeply interested in science. We're using Life Science as an overview of Biology before moving on to high school level Biology (with labs) for ninth grade. I make my dd take notes on all the lecture materials, otherwise she'd be finished with the program very quickly and I'd worry about retention of facts. HTH.

My dd12 finished the Earth Science one a month ago. It was fun, light, and great for my non-science kid. My other dd7, is almost through with it (she's my science kid). Even though she is doing this for extra/fun, she is testing rather well (b's & c's). I think this might be an indication on the difficulty level. :(. I really like what I have seen so far and have thought about buying more in the future; I just hope they are a bit more challenging for the upper levels.

I'm using the Life Science edition with my 5th and 2nd graders this year as a supplement to RS4K Biology. It's a little over my 7 yo's head, but both boys really enjoy it. I also purchased through Homeschool Buyer's Coop.

I think it's pretty neat, but my 9th grader and my 7th grader don't care for it. I'm planning on having my 4th grader try out the life science (since I have the subscription).
