Any "Classic Science" users?

[kmoncelle]

Wondering if anyone is using the "Classic Science" by Mr. Q. (This is NOT the same as Easy Classical...) I know that the Life Science is FREE while the Earth Science is now avail.

* What are your thoughts on the program?
* Are you using an addt'l reference?
* Do you read w/ your child, they read on their own... how is this set up?
* Do the experiements work?
* How many pages do you print out?
* What else can you tell me?
* Any place to get this "used" or cheaper?

Wow. I've never heard of this curriculum. It looks interesting.

Hope someone can answer your questions.

We are just finishing up this curriculum. Dd loves it! I like the 3 day/week layout. The teachers guide lays out each day for you. On day one dd reads the chapter and does the worksheets. Day 2 and 3 we do a short experiment. I also make up vocabulary word cards which we review together. At the end of the unit (4 chapters) there is a review page and unit test. The material is written in a fun, easy to understand language. You could get by with just reading the teacher's guide online and then printing off the student pages, worksheets and tests.

I have used the biology this year to supplement other things I'm already doing as I like the worksheet review, tests, etc. I do think it's better geared toward grades 1-4, or a child who has not done a biology study in past. I have looked over the earth science that's now available and believe that it looks good, too. However, it also seems to be better geared toward grades 1-4 and so I will not be using it for our sixth grade studies, next year.

Glad to hear from a couple of users. Looks good. Wondering if the $50 Earth Science price tag is worth it. Do you plan to use the Earth Science next year?

I have been doing this with a couple of other families. It is starting to grow on me. I have noticed that some of the experiments are not that clear. For example it will say you need a piece of cardboard but you need a square.
