This is what Jesse and Emily will be doing for science next school year. Jesse will be in 3rd grade and Emily will be in 1st grade.
Curriculum
- Living Learning Books Level 3 ~ Chemistry
The only thing I will need to order is a copy of student activity pages for Jesse ($8.00), because Emily is not reading/writing well enough to use them, and I already own the Teacher's Manual. Emily can just listen to the readings and participate in the experiments. She can also draw pictures of the experiments and/or give an oral narration of what she learned.
The curriculum and experiments should be plenty for their ages, but if for some reason it's not then I have a list of books from Jessica @ Trivium Academy to supplement with:
