For science, Ace and I are doing the Noeo Science Physics I<\/a>\u00a0curriculum. This curriculum was written specifically for homeschoolers, grades one through\u00a0three. So far, we are enjoying it. It pulls together several different books both on science and biographies on scientists. This curriculum includes\u00a0Young Scientist Club Kits<\/a> for experiments. I really like the experiments, and making notebook pages to go along with some of them is great practice too. We did not do a notebook page for every experiment, because being that Ace is\u00a0nine years old, he still considers writing and bookwork to be boring, but he loves doing the experiments. (At my age, I actually\u00a0still\u00a0agree with him, but if nobody recorded their findings, we wouldn’t have science.)<\/p>\n

This science curriculum\u00a0claims to be a Charlotte Mason style<\/a> curriculum with all “living” books<\/a>. I will agree\u00a0that some of the books qualify as “living” books, but some are a bit dry, with mostly\u00a0little text boxes around pictures. That works, but I was hoping for something more fun to read. I am thinking about trying to figure out what sections of The New Way Things Work<\/a> book correspond with the different units in the Noeo Physics. That is a really great book, and I already own it. We read it some last year, and loved it. I was really hoping for an open and go science curriculum that was really interesting and fun to read, and while this one is really good, I think it still has room for improvement.<\/p>\n

Okay that is my review after doing one unit, now on to a few pictures from our first unit. The first unit was “Force and Motion.” There were lots of fun experiments about friction, gravity, Newton’s third law of motion and more. We enjoyed things from racing cars on sand paper to slamming coins into a line of other coins to see what happened.<\/p>\n

Here is the lapbook that we made to go with this.<\/p>\n

We laminated the cover image and then glued it on the left side of the lapbook with glue dots and attached it to right side of the lapbook with\u00a0a velcro dot.<\/p>\n

\"Force<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Force<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Newton's<\/a><\/p>\n

\"What<\/a>\u00a0 \"What<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"Centrifugal<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"Gravity<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\"Gravity<\/a><\/div>\n

\"Force<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Unbalance<\/a><\/p>\n

Excuse that I misspelled “Centrifugal”–bad teacher moment.<\/p>\n

\nNewton’s Laws of Motion from Jimmie Langley<\/a>\u00a0(Scroll down to find Newton’s Laws of Motion Book)
\nCover for Gravity Mini Book from Crayola
\n<\/a>Both Friction Mini Books from\u00a0Tools & Technology Book by Dinah Zike
\n<\/a>“Force x Distance = Work” Mini Book also from the Tools & Technology Book by Dinah Zike
\n<\/a>Balanced & Unbalanced Flap\u00a0Book by Haley Grant<\/a>\u00a0(Scroll down quite a ways to find link.)

I have to admit that we looked at the lapbook that was done by Jimmie’s daughter from Jimmies Collage<\/a>\u00a0quite a bit since hers was also based on the Noeo Physics 1 forces and motion unit. If you’d like to take a peak at hers, here is the link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Overall, he seemed to enjoy this unit a lot. He especially enjoyed the experiments. Next is Sound and Light.<\/p>\n
