RTR Science Questions

Post by tollhousemom » Tue Sep 21, 2010 8:10 pm

Can anyone give me ideas about what types of science experiments/projects are included in RTR? I'm especially (or in reality my son is) wondering if there is any study of volcanoes and any projects or experiments related to volcanoes. He's watched his older siblings do volcano projects and I didn't realize that apparently he's been eagerly awaiting his turn! We can always do one on the side or in the summer, but I thought I'd see if it was already included in RTR.

Thanks!

Yes, volcanoes are studied in the science within RTR and a volcano experiment is included (two different ones actually). So, your little sweetie will be happy! :D

Blessigns,

The more I hear about RTR, the more I want to just order it all right now so I will have it here to start the second we finish CTC! LOL But alas, I will be a good girl and be patient. I can say that I am so very excited each year to do HOD...and I am most thrilled for my younger guy who is going to be using HOD all the way through his grade school years. We started with Little Hearts, so that puts him finishing the very last guide planned by the end of 8th grade. That just makes me smile every time I think of it! :) My older son will finish the last guide as a Freshman in High School, but he didn't start until CTC this year.

Rebecca,

I'm excited that you are excited! As we're busily planning the guide to come after RTR and using RTR this year, I am excited about the path ahead as well. :D

Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm! It blessed my heart today. :D

Blessings,
Carrie
