Definitely do Botany over the spring or summer. we really enjoyed gathering flower petals and learning about male and female flowers. We grew butternut squash in the yard
I agree. We did it in the Spring and loved it.
I would love seeing you go through the health and body one and see if you agree with what it teaches!!😄 Just because I feel like their can be so much controversy around diet etc
There’s a documentary (series) called… Invention That Changed The World…I believe it’s on Prime. It would probably go so well with this science unit! And you could definitely just go through and pick and choose which episodes to watch.
We're going to do the motion one next year! It looks awesome and can't wait to see any more extras you pick up for it.
I know you don't repeat units but I'd love to hear what's your opinion on if the new units are lacking compared to the previous editions. I've heard that the new units, even though geared towards older kids, seem to have less information or are too simplified.
Love the videos--you always get me excited for school! 🤗
Loved seeing Chemistry and Simple Machines! I just added those to my list for next year to start us off in the fall. We have done a few units but not those yet. Thanks for sharing!
We partnered w/another homeschool family for the Chemistry unit (old version) 3-4hrs/1x per wk. My kids (5th & 7th at the time) really loved it actually. It was a lot to digest, but they really enjoyed! At the end of the unit, which also happened to be the last week of school, they had their "science fair" and gave their scientist research presentations to all family members over tacos 🙂 Was a super fun way to round out our year.
This is our first year with TGATB science and we are hooked! We started with Motion and Simple Machines and absolutely loved it. Then we did Paleontology and are now doing Botany because it lines up well with the start of growing season here in FL. We hope to have a vegetable garden this spring. We are finishing the year with Health and Body. And I purchased all the new ones as they released so I'm also all set for next year.
We did Simple Machines over the first semester of this year and enjoyed it. Our local homeschool group just happened to host a science fair at the end of the year that coincided with our completion of the unit, so that worked out beautifully as a "final project" for us. We have now moved on to Marine Biology and are enjoying it immensely! ⚙️ 💙🐋
Can you compare the pros and cons of the old vs. new science units? Beside the fact they are spiral bound and the convenience students. Like the material, how it's written, the mini books, and the actual activities the kids do?
We just started Motion and Simple Machines and my kids (1st and 5th grade) are enjoying it so far. You’re so right about not always following the grade levels. My 1st grader is understanding most of it, although some of it may be over his head as we move farther along. I got the younger student journal for my 5th grader, but I wish I’d gotten her the older student journal for this unit.
We started the Motion & Simple Machines unit after Christmas and we’re loving it! The lessons are quick and simple. 👍
We just finished the new Kingdoms and Classification, and all my children loved it. We're working through the Health and the Physical Body right now, and everyone is really enjoying it and the read aloud books.
We just finished the revised Health and Physical Body unit. It wasn't my favorite it was good, but felt a little light for my 5th and 8th grader. We just started the old Chemistry unit because I already purchased it and I can definitely appreciate the new revised setup now. Almost forgot all the prep I have to do! Happy choosing!
Thank you for introducing me to TGATB science unit studies! We love them! We finished Marine Biology and just started Health and the Physical Body. Motion and Simple Machines and Botany are going on my list of ones to do next.
We’ve done 4 or 5 science units from TGATB so far. I was SO excited about the paleontology unit, but it’s the only one I’ve been disappointed in.
We finished up Simple Machines in December and my 4th grader loved it! The activities were a lot of fun and we often had bigger kids joining in-especially on the marshmallow shooter😁 We are starting the Wonders of Energy unit this week and he is so excited.
That is so helpful to tell us and show us the solar powered kits you bought as a fun activity! thank you! That is the sort of thing we need to know about and add to our studies😃👍
We just started the Health and Human body unit and I am so pleased with how they have updated these units! So much simpler!
One other thing, I’d love an update at some point about the robots! My kids would be so thrilled about that!
We just finished the Simple Machines unit last quarter. My son loved it, great hands on activities! We are currently doing the Paleontology unit.
Okay, after seeing your idea of doing the robots with the Simple Machines unit, I think we'll do that one next! I just love TGATB everything, especially science units. We have a wide range of development levels here, and a daughter with special needs, I love that I can easily include everyone in the lessons.
Oh, I wish we had waited to do the new Chemistry!!! I bought it in the fall because the new one wasn't supposed to come out until the spring. The new books look amazing. We are struggling to get through it right now and I think they would enjoy the new version. So many good options. My kids REALLY enjoyed the Motion and Simple machines one, we finished it up right before Christmas. It was our first of the 'new' version ones we did, the kids loved the experiments and the journals. My 6th grader has been doing the 7-8 journal as well, but we did skip the odd one.
My soon to be 2nd grader wants to learn about “inside our body” and nutrition. I think I might try that one with him!!
I collected all of the newer units as they were released and I think we’re set for science for at least 2 years lol I love the new layout. We just finished safety and are moving on to geology. My 8 year old has recently been obsessed with rocks and crystals.
We are doing Health and the Physical Body right now and I have Simple Machines for next! Fun:) I will say my oldest is in 7th grade and I can see now that I’m going to have to get something more challenging for next year, but TGATB are just such well rounded science for the younger years!
We just completed the (original) Beginning Chemistry, paired with another curriculum option, and both worked well together. We have completed all the other units, prior to the changes, and the student journals look so cute.
Robots!!!! How exciting. Love that you are adding in some extra goodies. The new kingdoms and classification was spectacular… loved it. And we are going to be doing the new health and body next. (After watching Jaimie’s flip through, I was sold) And I too got the new botany… did the og version but super excited about the version. TG&TB is just amazing.. I love adding them in. Happy homeschooling y’all
That is such a tough choice. We haven’t used any of those yet, but I do have the new Health unit coming up. I think Chemistry sounds fun but so does simple machines and if they are excited about it then you can’t go wrong!
I'm excited to hear at some point what you think of the Chemistry unit. We did the old one, but gave up halfway through because I felt like even I wasn't understanding the lesson. It was a lot. I hope the new edition is better. We plan to do Simple Machines next year. Those robots look like a lot of fun!
We’re just finishing up motion and simple machines. We had fun with it! The motion in sports does goes with that unit though.
We are currently doing motion & simple machines. My 11 year old is loving it. I do feel like the 3-6th journal is a little too easy fir him. I think fir the next one I’ll go with the 7/8th journal 👍🏻
We have health and the human body stashed to do and haven’t gotten to it. It looks really good.
The health and physical has peaked my interest! Currently doing GR creepy crawlies 😊
Awesome Ashley, we are currently using TGATB Chemistry and we are on Lesson 3 and it's going wonderful and my children are really enjoying it. I'm putting Machines and Motion next, thanks Ashley for all the hard work you do.
Also what is the link for the robot kit please?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on health & the physical body unit! 😊 ♥️
We are so excited for the Motion Unit! We purchased it to do next year!
We are currently doing the Health and the Physical Body and enjoying it!
We want to do chemistry next.
I love the look of Chemistry! I wish TGTB had cheaper shipping to the UK or a UK warehouse!
I vote simple machines in motion because they look sooo excited!
I am getting ready to start the new botany series in couple weeks. We have start to start early in AZ 😂
Did the kiddos like the space one? I got that one too and it looks pretty meaty. 15 weeks.
We are doing motion and simple machines after our current unit. It looks awesome. 👌
I considered Simple Machines for my third grader this spring. I got nervous about the physics principles and opted for birds instead! 😂
It's a good bet to go with what the kids say they want.
Oohh, Simple Machines! That’s my vote too!
Just FYI, Motion in Sports actually goes with Motion and Simple Machines, not the Health and Body
Motion and Simple Machines is definitely one that is high on my list 😍
We are just finishing up the Geology unit. I have Chemistry planned next. Beyond that we will do the Simple Machines and the new Meteorology/Water once it's released. We will do Botany and Human Body after that.
Oooh I want to try kingdoms and classifications so bad! And the simple machines! We are currently in Water and Our world now and I have Marine Bio tondo but I really want to border more!
Also a question.. I have the US constitution course but keep putting it off BC I worry it may be over their heads (8 and 10yrs). What age do you think would be best for that?
What are the first ones you would do if you were starting with small kids ? There are so many to pick from!
Meteorology and Water cycle would be good for younger.
I‘d recommend Botany
We have chemistry and motion to do soon also! Both look soooo good!!! Are you still alternating history and Science every other day?
Not anymore!
The Motion one was really fun :)
Human body should be great it matches well with safety and maturation that is what we are going to do
Simple machines or Chemistry
Hi! I teach science at our co-op for 2-5 graders. We just did the Reptiles unit and would love another to start with our small group of about 8 kids. Any advice since you’ve done so many? Thanks!
We loved the Chemistry Unit. A lot of fun experiments
I would like to know how these compare to the old- I have a 2nd and 3rd grader. Will it be to hard for a 2nd grader?
We just started botany today!
I would do Simple Machines and then Chemistry.
Chemistry!!!
Wondering what we should do next too. For next year though. This was our first year doing TGATB Science and we started with Mammals and finishing with Arthropods. What would you recommend? I have a nine year old girl and eleven year old boy.
Honestly any! I say let them pick!
Motion and Simple Machines!
I am doing the Evan moor daily science. I just needed something like that for second semester. Everyday living with Margarita did it this year and I thought it would be great . My kids feel like they are behind in so much since I only started in 2021. Some of it so far is complicated but I can explain it. I did get the paleontology and am excited to do that as well as campfires Valentines Day unit . My boys are 6 and 7 grade and we are at a 5-6 grade level . Forget about math we are struggling and not set on even multiplication. Any suggestions?
Just keep teaching and persevering. Let go of where you “should” be and just choose things that are helping your child grow and learn. Homeschooling isn’t meant to be a race against grade levels that were instituted for the government systems anyway.
My favourite is Chemistry so many fun activities and experiments. You could get lab coats for each child🎉
Chemistry next.
Machines first for sure! Then Chemistry 😊
Simple machines!
Hmm, I think chemistry! End the year with a "bang." 🤣😅
