Experiment...I'm not too keen on science either. Experiments are so boring. We continue to do Rod & Staff Science and will switch to Apologia. Many of the science experiments that my son(7th grade) should do can be seen at our local science museum, online, or on a DVD. That's good enough for him to get the idea. He really is not a science person either. I'm not sure about my daughter - she's still young. As you know the younger grade science is mostly nature science...we go outside or to our local nature museum or park. For example, we had erosion right outside our door, so I skipped the R&S science experiment replicating the effects of erosion. We just poked our heads out the door - there it is, see, okay, next. ;)<br /><br />A co-op is perfect for "lab work". I'd do it.Alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356420873078531863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303029425179583246.post-22109341799191507902010-10-19T15:41:52.913-07:002010-10-19T15:41:52.913-07:00We love reading about science, watching science vi...We love reading about science, watching science videos and programs on tv, and observing nature. But the idea of doing a science experiment just does not appeal to me at all. We have done some but nearly as many as we probably should. But overall I think they have a pretty good grasp of science in spite of my dread of (and lack of) science experiments.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09788450550251183407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303029425179583246.post-74157594883837033582010-10-16T17:05:53.452-07:002010-10-16T17:05:53.452-07:00hey I think too its a great idea to give writing a...hey I think too its a great idea to give writing assignments on different subjects...as long as that subject isnt science!

We have always had outside art classes beause I can't teach that. Piano too. Right now my kids are taking a composition class because even though I was an English major I can't seem to teach my own kids how to write! <br /><br />Regarding science topics in a writing class - my boy would LOVE his writing teacher to assign a science topic! I think it's a great idea to give writing assignments on different sorts of topics. :-)Marbelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03396985630486715494noreply@blogger.com
