A will be in 7th grade next year, and I would like to either use all living books for general science or add in living books to go with the reading in Apologia’s text. Does anyone know if there is a list similar to Art Harmony’s list for the high school years? I have searched high and low and haven’t found any. I spent 2 hours on pinterest tonight just putting in variations of phrases trying to find a list on there. If it comes down to it I will at least start out with Apologia’s text and add in living books. The problem is that several of the living books listed on SCM’s curriculum guide are books that dd has just finished reading this year as part of the science we were doing this year. I had a list either pinned or bookmarked, but I can’t find it. If anyone either has a list you’ve made yourself or might have found the same list I’m talking about, please post the info &/or link. The only thing I am fairly sure was on the list was Joy Hakim’s science books.
This brings me to the next bit. Do you think that I could use The Story of Science as the primary text in place of Apologia’s book and use books like Galileo for Kids: His Life and Ideas, 25 Activities for more information about the scientists and actual experiments or activities? I also found a general book of experiments while poking around on Amazon that had something for most topics that would be covered in a general science heading. I appreciate your opinions on this.

If the books have already been read, is it possible that enough has been covered in this area for a good foundation? If so, you could have A move on to the next titles on the list.
Just a thought,

Thanks for responding, Becca.
I suppose that is possible. I know that the General Science book covers anatomy in more detail than I had her cover it a couple of years ago. I was thinking that she is ready/ needs to increase the depth of her knowledge at this point.Sigh. Maybe I just need to set hers aside for now and focus all of the other areas that I have arranged and then come back to it. I just hate it when my duckies are not floating along in a nice neat little line when it comes to the planning part. And I still haven’t been able to locate my list, which is upsetting. I think I may need to set up my own user profile on the computer and lock the younger ones out so that if something goes missing, I know I was the one to delete it or move it.
Most of the books on the ArtHarmony list would be just as well read in junior high. Penny Gardner also keeps a science list although not as separated out by subject.
Thanks for the list suggestions. Are the ones you are talking about for ArHarmony the list of books for high school science or is there another list? I will check out Penny Gardner. Her site didn’t even occur to me last night, and that may have been where I found most of the books on my list.
Can you post a link for Art Harmony? I’m not familiar with it and google doesn’t reveal anything useful.
Jenny, here is Barb from Harmony Fine Arts’ Squidoo page;

Here is another list of books:

HTH!
Here is another list that I discovered accidentally while poking around just moments ago.
And another one with a huge list of various living books here.
