Very impressed with Science choice for new Rev 2 Rev program

Post by arstephia » Thu Apr 14, 2011 8:00 am

We've received our box for the upcoming Rev to Rev set. The Education Exploration Physical Science it uses is impressive. :D The box of supplies are neatly bagged by project and they aren't cheapo materials. Real wood, screws, electric components, etc. Not plastic/paper projects! I chose to get the Advanced level for my soon-to-be 8th grader so I can count the science component at least for his high school Physical Science credit. He is very physical science/phyics/engineering minded so getting this part of his schooling right was very important. I couldn't be happier. The lapbook will be challenging and will really make him think through the scientific process. I also liked that the teacher manual has the answers but also the WHY as to why a certain experiment should turn out a certain way and the theory that supports it. I have been frustrated with his life science this year as it was only answers and I couldn't always explain it when making corrections. Also, the projects are very practical and complete. My son will love every aspect of this program. So, just wanted to put that out there. Great science program for Rev to Rev!!

P.S. If you get this, don't throw away anything from the kit. There is a piece of paper that says you need to keep the box it all comes in because it is used in one of the experiments, and the online access code is on the sticker in the front. Also, there is a piece of cardboard that looks like part of the packing but that is also used so don't throw a thing away! :lol:

Oooooooh I am so envious! We are using it beefed up for high school and my dd is on a different science rotation. But I do get to use it the year after that and then again later. I was tempted to get it ahead. I want to use it myself. :lol:

Enjoy it! :D

I haven't ordered it yet, but we looked at it online and my son was absolutely beside himself with excitement. He can't wait to start! How fun is it when your kids are anxious for the next school year to start before they've even finished this one. Thanks Carrie!

Oh, ladies! I am so excited for you to use this too! We have had a wonderful experience with it, first using the Standard Version and now this year having my oldest son do the Advanced Version for Days 4-5 of his science. The hands-on projects are very sturdy and the experiments are excellent! The lab manual is very well laid out, and I also truly loved the answer key! :D

Thanks for sharing your excitement! We're thrilled too. My second son has been waiting for several years to get to this program and is beside himself with joy that he gets to do it next year in Rev2Rev. :D

Blessings,
Carrie
