- In today's homeschooling videos I'm talking about one of my favorite educational companies, Evan Moor! We use so many Evan Moor workbooks and I can't say enough good things about them! Today I'm sharing how to teach science quickly and easily, and at very little expense! I'm comparing three of the different science workbooks that Evan Moor offers so you can decide which one will work best in your homeschool family! I hope this video is helpful! Make sure to give it a THUMBS UP if it was!

I hope today's video was helpful! If you homeschool, do you do science every day? What curriculum do you use for science?
We school M-Th, we do Science M/T and then History/SS on W/Th. 😊 We are using Sonlight currently.
What did you decide to do about using BJU History?? We have had a hard time completing History for 1st grade along with BJU Eng and Math.
@@eo6357 We're still using it and I love it! This is my first year teaching it myself and I look forward to it every day! I've learned so much about history that I never learned when I was a kid! That's one reason we stepped back a little bit on science this year. I wanted to focus our attention on math, language arts and history.
I heard about Evan-Moor's Science curriculum and when I went to their website I saw the 3 various science workbooks and was wondering what the differences were. Thanks so much for this video!
I like the Skill sharpeners science workbooks. They are super fun with Easy experiments. Also easy to look ahead at the topics and get books at the library and look up documentaries on the same subject.
Thank you! I've been having guilt that I couldn't fit science in for my 4th grader. Just bought skill sharpener after your video and I'm excited!
This was really helpful! Thank you!
You're so welcome!
Thank you for this video! Very helpful!
You're so welcome!
This was super helpful! I like that you showed the pages
I'm so glad!
We are huge fans of Skill Sharpeners too! We use the geography and grammer books. They are easy on the eyes and don't drill and kill.
Yes, I LOVE the full-color!
Great review - gave me a real sense of what Evan Moor offers for science. I like that these pieces of curriculum are straight to the point and I agree with you that it’s important to focus on reading, math and writing in terms of time in the homeschool day and make sure that other subjects don’t interfere. I like how using the EM science seems to allow science to be included without taking hours. I’ve found the EM curriculum pieces I’ve bought for my girls to use for other subjects in the past to be really high quality, so I’m going to integrate some of these science materials too!
Yes, EM is perfect for doing science every day! There isn't anything we've used from them that we haven't liked. If you are interested, check out the 7 Continents series....they're so great! amzn.to/31fi8vO
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate your homeschool ideas! Our kids have always been in private school but we are pulling them out next year to homeschool and travel. I need curriculum that is easy to transport. Your reviews and ideas really help! Thank you!!
I'm so glad!
Thanks for this.. We've been using Evan Moore since your first review. We are also doing Spectrum workbooks, and they are the perfect fit for our family 😊👍🏼
You're welcome! I haven't used an Evan Moor book yet that I didn't like! :)
I can’t wait to watch this in about 30 minutes, we’re finishing up school for the day & then I plan to kick my feet up and finish your weekly vlog from the beginning of the week & this video!
I hope you had a great homeschool day and that you enjoy the videos! :)
Well I never got to catch up, sadly. But maybe in the morning!
Your videos are so helpful! We use BJU as well and I've decided for 5th grade to use Evan Moore for science instead. Totally agree to get a good foundation in Writing & English at a young age. Planning to use the daily science and skill sharpeners 👍
That is awesome!
I haven’t seen the Read and Understand Science one! I’ve been wanting to incorporate some non-fiction reading and comprehension. This looks like just the thing! 👍🏻
Thank you!! This might be a nice way to finish the year. This was our first year homeschooling only my son 6th grade. We’ve tried a few things, looking for a good fit.
Glad it was helpful! I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
So agree with you that science should take less time then other subject at younger age. I just finished reading a book how to be a lazy mom and still raise a smart kid. I had to read this as I perfectionist and I dont like it :)). I learn how to breeeeze and smell the flowers. So the author said it is important set priority and include craft, art, music in your child routine. And learn language and math and history, and study science briefly. Get dipper into that subject at the same age when they will learn chemistry, physics. Because all that sience will be there in dipper lever and kid will be mature enough to comprehend. Right now with my kids 9 and 6 I focus on piano, craft, and other languages. I just switch my gear as it towards our end for this school year. We have few more weeks to go and we will continue to do some fun activities during their summer brake.
Which one do you favor between Skill Sharpeners and Daily Science? Thanks for this video, you did a wonderful job!
I like them both but I think I prefer Skill Sharpeners.
@@aplacetonest Thank you so much! I appreciate your insight having used them both :) Skill sharpeners it is for us then!
And do you have a video on how you do your grading? Thanks you!
I don't have a video about my grading process in particular but I do have a video about how I keep a report card: czcams.com/video/-bckN5crPMc/video.html
Would this be considered a complete science for the year if I used Daily Science or Skill Sharpeners? Would this be an add on?
I think it could easily be either one! For us, we're using it as our only science curriculum but if you want to use it to supplement lessons then it would work that way, too!
Can you use only reading books and workbooks for homeschooling without buying textbook curriculums? What's your opinion... I am going to homeschool my son when he's ready right now he is only 2yrs old so just figuring out what I want to use and how I want to teach him.
I kinda get the workbooks vibe from Evan Moore books just my opinion
Does this go with a word view or a biblical? or a neither nor?
It's definitely not Biblical but so far I haven't seen anything about evolution or "the big bang" either.
Hello, does this mean that you stopped using BJU science grade 5? Plus the the home science tools kit for grade 5? Just wondering if you completely switched to only Evan Moor and did away with BJU plus Home science tools. Thanks
We did for now. There's nothing wrong with BJU science, and I definitely plan to use it again in the future, but I wanted to step back a bit on that so we could focus on math, language arts and history! Plus, I've learned through my high-schooler's homeschooling journey that it's not necessary to focus too much on science in the early years.
@@aplacetonest Thanks for the insight. I’ve followed you from the beginning.
@@aplacetonest Hi! I read your last statement about your high schoooler's journey and it not being necessary to focus on Science too much. Is this because they cover everything again, anyway, in high school? I've been stressing about missing something and "how to get it all in." However, I'm learning that I may just be overthinking it and worrying about things I don't really need to. So when I read what you said, it just made me wonder your reasoning behind that. I just found you and love your videos! Thanks for the encouragement and help along the way!
Do you know If Evan Moor workbooks have the higher grades?
I think the highest level they have is 8th grade but, depending on the subject, I wouldn't focus too much on the level. With some subjects I don't think it really matters what age your child is compared to the level such as: geography, paragraph editing, etc.
When your daughter turns 18, and is a adult next year, are you going to let her have more choices and freedom? By this I mean phone access, driving, other choices.
I will have to give her more freedom but I will also continue to guide her because a parent's job doesn't end when a child turns 18. Whether she's 18 or 80, I will continue to give her my opinion and try to keep her safe. :)
@@aplacetonest Well said
