Homeschool Secular Science | REAL Science Odyssey, SCI Scientific Connections Inquiry, Nomad Press

I like them all. You could always have the kids read the Nomad Press books anyway.

[@TicketToLearning]

We've really been enjoying some of the books from Nomad Press as well. They make such great spines. I'm really interested in trying out some of their Social Studies books too.

I adore Nomad Press!!!! I have been doing them for 2 years as unit studies (6th-7th grade). They are fantastic! We've done over 20 of them now.

[@TheMommaLibrarian]

Yes! So good! Thanks for watching!

Hi! My name is Meghann, I’m so glad I came across your comment! I hope that my comment will get to you. I hoping to using some of the history nomad press books with my son for 6-7 grade as well and was wondering if I could pick your brain a little and see how you scheduled the reading of them, what you added to them, and if you did any notebooking or written work along with them. Thank you so much if you’ve made it this far!

@@meghannferguson6783 My 8th grader is very visual, so I read ahead and chose videos to go along with what we will read together. From there, if any of their projects will further his understanding, we'll do those. Sometimes, I will go "off book" and do our own created project.

We are using REAL Science Odyssey Biology 2 for 10th grade this year and we love it! We are planning to do the Astronomy as well. I wish they had high school chemistry, but we are going to check out Friendly Chemistry.

Torchlight level 3 has a lot of science comics books integrated into the weekly schedule layout to coincide with the science

[@TheMommaLibrarian]

Yes! We own most of them. My daughter loves them so I’m excited for my son to read more of them too!

[@Luasunshine]

Do you know if the lower grades also have the comics you mention?

[@michellegf]

@@Luasunshine torchlight levels 2-5 use the Science comics books

[@tehibberd]

We've been really enjoying Elemental Science (Chemistry). But I think next year we're going to do Bookshark science.

[@Homeschoolology]

The Nomad Press books look amazing! Thank you for sharing. I'm struggling to find science right now as well. I think I may be close though.

[@TheMommaLibrarian]

Science is so tough!

[@rebeccat9389]

Did you try the third one yet? It does look interesting! I wish there were more reviews!

[@TheMommaLibrarian]

We are going to use SCI Level 3 as our main science this upcoming year so I will be sure to make videos as we go!

@@TheMommaLibrarian How has SCI gone so far? Do you like it?

[@TheMommaLibrarian]

@@jeanettejorgensen91 We stopped using it…I explain more in my update video from January: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6TYYqpjaLino7Msi=ZuzWFjUsBoYXaXl1

Have you tried Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding? SCI was supposedly inspired by BFSU. Wondering which one to choose. Thank you.

[@TheMommaLibrarian]

I had BFSU when we first started homeschooling but found it hard to implement. We really liked SCI this year but ultimately switched to Science Mom. I just shared more about this in our Mid Year update video. Thanks for watching!
