Love the idea of getting together with a group for activities and studying a book together with friends. We have done this before and it is a lot of fun ~Misty
I love how it can be used a couple days a week and still be ‘meaty enough’ I tried a 5 day a week science and for the younger years that was just too much.
This sounds awesome!!! We are yet to use apologia!!! I love that you can buy the science kit as I’ve never used them for any curriculum but now we are travelling we are in countries where we can’t get certain things so we are being more organised and buying stuff in advance and I’ve been put all the things in a baggie per experiment!!!
Amateur astronomy enthusiast here. Spotted some issues at 4:05 -There have been way more than 58 spacecraft that have gone to the Moon. My only guess as to where that number came from is that they were counting U.S.-led launches? And obviously some of them were manned, I don't know why it says they weren't. -The LRO is still active, but the LADEE mission ended in 2014 - I haven't heard about that one in a *long* time. And there are other active ones still going strong. Again, I think maybe they're just counting U.S. ones, although that doesn't explain why NASA's ARTEMIS ones aren't mentioned. -The Moon has no atmosphere. Hopefully that is mentioned earlier, and that it's a trick question in that recap quiz!
I have a 7,9,11,13 yo, we started homeschooling 2 years ago and haven't really done science formally, I was wondering if this could work too for my 13yo? (before that time , they went to school)Thank you!
The recommended grades are K-6th but I have had my 7th and 8th grader do it as well with success. I would recommend Chemistry and Physics for the ages you have.
I have 4 different apologia text books but I feel like every time I’ve looked over the lessons, I get so overwhelmed that I put it back on the shelf. But I never hear anyone else talking about how much information is crammed into each lesson. I can’t seem to wrap my head around the intensity of the curriculum for my young children. (10, 6, and 4) Am I alone in this feeling?
It definitely is a lot of information but I think the key is to take it in small chunks you can cover a chapter every two weeks and for older ages we do this by reading only 2 days a week but for younger kids I recommend reading just a little each day 4x a week to make the notes more manageable
The beauty of Apologia is that you can just read the text. And not have to do anything else. Read certain sections of the book at a time. It is not overwhelming in information because it is written in a story telling form very natural explanations. Not dry textbook language.
We love apologia it has been such a blessing to our home
Same!
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback on Apologia's science curriculum!
My pleasure.
We love Apologia! It has been a game changer for my son. He is a tactile, hands-on learner and loves all the experiments in the book.

We tried apologia when my girls were younger and it was a little much but I think they are ready to give it a try again.

It was a game changer when we started to do it.

Yes that has been great for us too.
Yay! We love Aplogia. ❤🎉

SHH…Not me over here doing calculations the last two years on how to fit every single young explorers book into our homeschool before 8th grade 😅
😂😂😂😂 love that
