Just wondered what you would do. We had planned on starting General Science (old ed.; Wile) for my dd age 12, 7th grade. I never expected this to happen, but as of last night we are officially going to be showing beef cattle in our local 4-H. We went to our first meeting last night with no agenda; we simply planned to gather info. etc. 24 hours later, we now have 3 Angus beef calves for show ( and a liitle lamb to be borrowed for dd 5yr)! This is going to be a very time consuming, but fun and exciting activity for my girls; my son even thinks he might try showing one as well. Would it be feasable to completely switch gears and simply call this my science for her? I have never done a so-called “Unit Study”, burt I could see how this could possibly morph into such a thing. That General Science book looks so, well, boring… would it be a sin to skip it and create a so-called “beef catttle” unit study? We have a co-op that teaches other Apologia sciences she could get in when she is older (9th and up) that start with Biology.
