Our family is thrilled to review Apologia Educational Ministries homeschool science curriculum and we received a copy of Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics and two Exploring Creation with Chemistry and Physics Junior Notebooking Journals for my girls, age 6 and 7. This is quickly becoming our favorite volume of the Young Explorer Series. We are all eating it up, including my chemist husband! Alex (age 3) loves to be included when we do the experiments, and even Liz (age 13) and Dad like to listen in to the read alouds.
Tori and Kate love the junior notebooking journals and it makes my planning so much easier that it provides a schedule I can use and space for them to write up their assignments. I love the Scripture copywork and lapbook items. There’s enough variety for each lesson that we never get bored! (There are two levels of notebooking journals, depending on the reading and writing levels of students.)
We also love the resource lists for extra reading, DVDs, online sites to explore to extend lessons. We’re currently devouring the recommended Physics by Basher (there’s a whole series!) It’s fun and colorful and entertaining for the whole family. Even my husband is impressed with what we’re learning and he’s picky when it comes to math and science curricula!
The kids loved the different colored fluids in the density experiment.
Playing with oil, syrup, water, and Alka Seltzer to make lava lamps.
How many pennies in the “boat” until it sinks? They pretended they were pirate ships.
We have never needed to look any further than this homeschool science resource for all our science needs. We have been pleased with this company since Liz (now 13 and in Apologia Physical Science) was in her first homeschool year.
