We match up the program on a request basis… since out two Biology units are not yet published, they haven’t been matched. When they are up, please send over a TOC and we can get this done for you.

I noticed you have a curriculum matchup for Apologia Chemistry, Physics, etc. but not Biology. Will that be coming out in October as well or do you need me to send the TOC?
Thanks!

If you send over a TOC, I can have one created for you.

is there a conversion chart for R.E.A.L. science Odyssey Chemistry level 1?

You need Abode Acrobat Reader. What happens if you try a different computer?

I am unable to download the pdf for Apologia? I went back to make sure I was loggin in too. There have been other places on your website that I’ve also trie to click on the link to be able to see the print pg. and nothing opens when I click on it? I’d really like to see the conversion chart for Apologia and everything else your site has to offer. I just signed up today and am excited to utilize your resources. thanks

Actually, no. The parts for biology are sooo easy to find (you’ll see what I mean!) and only a few are really hard to find so we give you the direct link to order them from the supplier.

When you post the Life Sciences/Biology curriculum, will you be creating kits to go with them like you’ve done for the Science Mastry programs?

If you send something over that we can see the content, we will post it to the site right away.

Thank you, Aurora, for putting these together. I have several friends who use one of the other curricula you’ve listed and we as a family own several as we follow our children as we develop their day to day and long term learning; we’ve found that lots of options for the parent are extremely important in finding what fits our children’s learning styles on any particular topic. This really is the icing on the cake for us….expect us to sign up for one of your full packages as soon as the tax return arrives:) You’ve made my job as a homeschool Mom so much easier. We were considering purchasing a Discovery Education subscription for videos that could supplement the other curricula we own. Your videos AND audio recordings will make this unnecessary! Thanks again.

Well it’s not as popular of a curricula, and is older…but the Weaver by Alpha Omega publishing is what we use. It’s a Unit Study style, so there’s not a separate TOC for just science topics. I know I could match things up by myself, but why re-invent the wheel if you happen to have done something like that already or have other members that use the same curric as I?
I thought I’d ask
Some Units of course are more upfront – such as the Unit on the Human Body. lol
Thanks! So far I love this place

TOC stands for “Table of Contents”.

What’s a TOC?

By: Aurora

Aurora — Mon, 13 Sep 2010 04:50:21 +0000

Yes, you’re right – the two programs aren’t lined up with each other, as e-Science was created after Science Mastery. (And if you want the complete truth, Science Mastery is lined up in the order I teach it during my science workshops, and e-Science is ordered in the way I would teach my own kids during the course of a year (or years).) Ok, so here’s how you match them up:

Click on this link: http://www.sciencelearningspace.com/2010/01/conversion-charts/ and download the conversion chart that will match them up with each other. The Diamond program supplies most of the materials for the e-Science kits. You’ll find a material conversion sheet also on the conversion page mentioned above.

And now click on this link: http://www.sciencelearningspace.com/getting-started/syllabus-schedule/ for a complete outline of the e-Science program. Note that you do not need to go in any particular order for either program – most units and lessons are independent (and if they’re not, it will say so right at the top of the lesson).

The Diamond’s C3000 covers the BIG Unit 15 (which will be released in Nov); the Enviro-kit is the fruit battery experiment here: http://www.sciencelearningspace.com/2010/01/fruit-battery/; fuel car is in Unit 12 (Alternative Energy) here: http://www.sciencelearningspace.com/2010/05/fuel-cell-power ; the 300-in-1 Lab will be released in Dec/Jan as part of Unit 14. You can always use the search box at the top of the page to locate experiments also. Hope this helps, and be sure to ask if you have any further questions!

I have… the Science Mastery Diamond and e-Science.. I thought that the kits were going to be the experiments as laid out in the EScience website, but it doesn’t quite look that way. I looked through the website to see if there was information on how they are related but I did not see anything. So I am asking, are the Science Mastery Experiments supposed to be complementary to, but not in sequence with the EScience topics? Are there any experiments in the EScience Units that are directly supplied by the kits? Also which sections/experiment numbers use the Enviro battery, Chemistry set, Fuel car, fun fly stick and electronics lab? Appreciate the feedback and looking forward to starting, Thanks.

Tried to download the Abeka conversion chart but keep getting Apologia one instead. Thanks

Yes, you’ll find it posted above, under “Which materials do I need to get?” We provided a list of materials that are included with the different Science Mastery programs which ALSO get used by e-Science. The reason we did the list this way (instead of inundating you with 57 more shopping lists… no kidding!) was because each family is going to complete different set of experiments, and by giving you a descriptive list of what you already own, you can still use the e-Science shopping lists and simply scratch off the items you already have (along with the ones you aren’t going to do). Since e-Science is WAY BIGGER than Science Mastery, this was the most useful way we could think of to handle this.

Note – if you have Science Mastery DIAMOND, you have most (about 90-95%) of what you need for e-Science. (The rest are simple things from the recycling bin or everyday items, like food items, water, toilet paper tubes, stopwatch, etc.)

Do you have a shopping list for me if I already own the science mastery program?

Sure - do you have a TOC you can send over? We'll post it right to the site here.

I was planning on doing Apologia’s chemistry with my 10th grade daughter next year and noticed that you only list conversions for their advanced chemistry. Could you do a conversion for their beginning chemistry course?
Thanks!

Which lesson plan are you having trouble with – or it is all of them? Make sure you’re logged in, otherwise you won’t be able to download them.

Whoops – sorry about that – we recently uploaded the A Beka one and must have mixed up the links. Try again?
