Library Video The Way Things Work--DVD
I'll warn you that the theme song is addictive. I'm thinking of adding it to my ipod.

WOW - those are so cool!
What I decided was to get both the 4-6 manual and the 1-3 manual. We'll see how I can pull it off!! These DVDs are a great addition!!
THanks

I can't wait to hear how it goes so I can know for next year. I'll be praying that it's a success, Margot.

We did Bio II last year with an 11YO and a 7YO. My 7YO, who loves science, really loved it. My 11YO, who is more of a history kid, tolerated it. I personally really liked it, and my kids liked the internet links that are included for each week. They would usually spend 20 or 30 minutes each Friday looking at the internet links to see videos of things we read about that week.
We did not do the recommended notebooking, although I did have my 11YO blog about our science reading and experiments from time to time.
Anyway, I liked it well enough that we are doing Chem II this year.

We had biology I for my very active 1st grader last year (2012/13). I liked it, but we didn't finish it because I wanted to delve even deeper into some of the topics.
-Some of the experiments (the weather ones, specifically, but others, too) were not well-made.
-For sure, the books aren't "living books" and I didn't appreciate doing 1-2 pages of individual books on many days. I think it was a little tricky for my guy to keep focused, but he did learn the topics we studied.
-I did like the level of difficulty and thought it could easily fit several age-levels.
-It makes a well-organized spine, and there's a lot of info in there. I think that gives you a flexible or an open-and-go program
-We did some note-booking, but it was limited more to drawings. The format is great if you need/want to have a portfolio.
We are moving to a more project-based format for HS, but I am still strongly considering getting Chemistry I for this coming year. I just hope that my K student who really wants to do chemistry will appreciate the topics.

We have started the BIO 2 with dd9. She loves it. Of course, the first unit it Microscopes, so she is using it heavily, for more than needed.
We are doing a notebook sheet a day. I'm not sure what to expect with that. She does a quick sketch, adds definitions and I ask her to write a couple sentences on what she found most interesting.
I'm NOT a science person, so this is easy for me :) It's planned, she is doing it 4x a week. We have the happy scientist videos to add a little more to it. Best $10 spent :) Really likes those.
It was fairly pricey, but considering other things I've tried, this is the biggest hit, and it is so far consistently used. I assist when asked, answer any questions she has, but it's pretty independent so far :)
