Great Science Curriculum

This is a great curriculum from Institute of Creation Research to teach preschool to 3rd grade solid scientific observation skills. They will be doing alot of classification ,as well as, you laying a foundation for "true" science. It's the same foundation that every major science pioneer founded their fields of study in.They knew there was a Creator and that He made set established laws and functions through which they could test and observe. Likewise this sets a beginning for the child to observe, study, and examine to determine. Ive got my older children in Apologia but for the younger child this will set up processing skills so when they get to the Apologia level they will be prepared. I like the hands on focus that he gives for the younger children. Instructions are easy to understand and experiment with and he clearly lays out the goals you want to get across. Since most of the ideas at this are are laying the foundation, you do have alot of experiments in classifying and observing and little experiments in lifesavers and some fun experiments that kids get a kick out of. Because of this, I would pick up a Backyard Scientist book or two and intersperse those w/ this curriculum ..using the ideas you learn from Gish...that way your kids wont get too burnt out on the classifying but will get the benefit of "testing" all things especially in the scientific realm
