    Classic Science Curriculum  http://www.eequalsmcq.com

    The Life Science book is free.  Then if you like his books you can buy Earth Science, Chemistry and Physical Science.

    They include 36 weeks worth of lessons, 3 lessons per week.  They are ebooks… a Parent book and a Student book.

    My kids are 10 and 8.  I’m curious if anyone has used this curriculum and what your opinions are about it.

    TIA.

    Blessings, Michelle

    I’ve never even heard of it but downloaded the free book to look through – thanks!

    I haven’t used it, but I enjoy receiving his monthly email – always an easy science activity.  I like the look of the curriculum, though.

    Hi Michelle,

    We’ve used parts of it. When we did a unit study on recycling and the skeletal system we used those bits. As a whole it is a very good course to use as a whole science curriculum but a bit dry compared to a literature based approach. It is a little textbooky but the author is quirky and adds his sense of humor all throughout the lessons. It is parent friendly easy to guide children through. If it is the traditional approach you like then it will suit you. They will learn alot of scientific method and vocabularly. It is a very generous offer from the author and from what I’ve seen it seems to fit in well if you take a classical approach to education. I have flirted with the idea of it but we are enjoying Apologia Exploring Creation and our unit studies on occassion. If I had nothing else that tickled my fancy I would be using it. I would still add living books along with it though, but that is simple to do. Wonderful for those on a shoestring budget.

    Blessings, Renelle

    Renelle, Thanks for your comments. That is really helpful.

    I was hoping to purchase Considering God’s Creation to use with 106 Days but the shipping to Israel is $40, not including the cost of the actual books. So I am looking for alternatives that are a little more affordable. This one is free and an e-book which is excellent so long as the content is okay.

    Blessings, Michelle
