Science Choices in BLHFHG

Post by sjones4 » Tue Jul 07, 2009 8:35 pm

I have just ordered BLHFHG for my 6yo dd and am so excited to begin! I am somewhat hesitant to ask as I know that most Christian hs'ing families believe in ID/Creationism and I tend to be in the minority in these circles. While we have a deep rooted faith, we prefer to teach science from a micro/macro evolutionary point of view. I am obviously not looking to exclude the Creationist viewpoint as I love the biblical tie-ins to the other subjects. Are there any others that have substituted a science book that would work well with BLHFHG? Any suggestions are welcome!

Have you looked at Singapore Science? I've heard good things about it. I haven't used it though as we are a Creationist/Young Earth family. Here's a link...

I haven't substituted a science book. Are you just wanting a secular science program? I haven't used this, but I did look at it when looking at the Singapore math site. http://www.singaporemath.com/Earlybird_ ... /ebsci.htm This is the science for grades 1-2. http://www.singaporemath.com/MPH_Science_s/66.htm This is for 3-6.
I don't know if this is what you are looking for or not, but it is the only one that I have seriously considered doing along with HOD's science.

I just ordered the Singapore Science 1,2,3 and 4. Once I have it in hand, I can pm you and let you know what I think about it if you want. PM me and let me know.
