My dd 9 is reading living books and also doing Jack’s Insects with the SCM companion book for science. I would like to add in a little extra with a fun inexpensive workbook or something for even more science knowledge. Anyone have suggestions?
We are also looking for some extra science to add for my science loving kiddo’s. We too are using living books and Outdoor Secrets. I’ve come across a few things but haven’t chosen anything yet. I’d also love to hear other opinion’s.
Actually, my suggestion only helps if you are NOT in the United States. (It is a beta of an Elementary Series by J. Wile (author of the High School Apologia Science books) – I imagine that the seperation agreement with them included a restriction to not have a competing Science book in the States for a number of years.)
I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for, but my science-loving son found The Complete Book of Science at Half-Price Books last year (for grades 3-4). It was only $5 or so ($15 was the sticker price). It has sections on dinosaurs, the body, health, nutrition, earth, weather, electricity, etc. Work-booky, but he generally likes that stuff:) However, he hasn’t done much w/it, just a few pages. I think he’d enjoy it if I assigned it for school, but it’s just for free time right now:) Gina
