My ds 10 has requested a science workbook curriculum. I'm looking for something which he can largely complete on his own. I'm considering Seton yr 4. Other than that I haven't a clue. I don't want anything which is top heavy on creationism.

Can you help???

I'm interested in hearing others' replies here as well.... For some reason (my own public school experience??? even though I always received good marks), I just do not feel as confident in the realm of science without a specific guide as I do in other areas (all the other areas!).

My first thought (until I looked again at his age) was the Behold and See from CHC, which I think is really intended for 3rd grade - but perhaps it's something that he could definitely do 'on his own' and would allow for rabbit trails on particular personal interests? Just a thought.

I've not seen the Seton Science books recently and can't recall what all I thought about them, so can't offer any insight on that one.

After a little research and questioning my son, we decided to go with Singapore since. Hopefully it will fit the bill. My second choices were Apologia or A Beka.
