 We love using Adaptive Curriculum! It allows my daughters to complete some excellent virtual labs while learning the scientific process. My one daughter is definitely a "hands-on" learner, and Adaptive Curriculum allows her to be involved during the various labs. She has to complete it step-by-step, writing down her responses on a worksheet that can be printed out from the site. She then takes a short assessment to make sure she has understood the concepts of the lab. I'd recommend Adaptive Curriculum to middle school and high school students and their families.” C Billings, Co-op Member |
My children love the content on this site. It is sophisticated and informative without boring them. The assignment functions are helpful, but harder to use for multiple children, but the discount advantage is significant. There is just a ton of valuable content here!”Pamela D., Co-op Member |
I bought the science adaptive curriculum for my bright 7 year son who is very interested in science.
He has thoroughly enjoyed using this curriculum as a self-led learning tool. He is fascinated and excited by the individual modules. We do not use it as part of our regular 'school' work as it is a middle school standard, but I can see that is would be a very useful tool in teaching this standard. I have recently purchased the maths part too, but my son has not looked at it yet. I purchased it because the science side was so well presented and engaging that I thought the maths would be also. This is the first science programme I have purchased. The licence lasts a year. I will definitely continue with it as long as my son benefits. We are British.”J Mintowt, Co-op Member |
I discovered Homeschool Buyers Co-op in my search for a science software with "clean" science experiments which the children can do on their own. I was ecstatic Adaptive Curriculum does just what a I was looking for. The experiments featured for the science objects are very realistic and concepts in both science and maths are stimulating and challenging and we all love them.
My subscription is about to expire but I'll renew again for my daughter who is in middle school and look forward to subscribing the high school one as well for my son. I have recommended it to my friends.”Rosemary Phorson, Co-op Member |
My elementary age kids really enjoyed the various activity objects. The games captured and maintained their interest. We used them as a starting point and followed up with info from other sources. I am trying Discovery Education this year to see how it compares.”Carrie, Co-op Member |
I use Adaptive Curriculum as a visual tool for my 12 yr. old daughter's Science curriculum, Switched on Schoolhouse. I think it really helps to have the visual teaching along with her written material.
She really enjoys the simulations. We will continue to use this program as a backup. For the cost it is well worth it.”Kelly W., Co-op Member |
Adaptive Cirriculum is a great resource. It is very interactive and engaging. My kids would find themselves enjoying the modules so much that I'd have to limit their time on Adaptive. Would reccomend to everyone.”Vale S., Co-op Member |
My 12 year old son used Adaptive Curriculum for a year, and he absolutely loved it! He learned so much and has retained it, as well. I reviewed several of the lessons myself and thought they were so complete and so interesting. I would LOVE to get this product again!!!!”Rexanne M., Co-op Member |
I got this for my son who is elementary school hoping it would entertain him. He is advanced in math and science. He was not thrilled. There were a couple of areas that he really enjoyed, but not enough.
That being said, I thought it was a great product and I will probably purchase it again for him when it becomes more age appropriate.”Sara S, Co-op Member |
Having used Adaptive Curriculum for a few months now, I can respond very positively.
1) It is not creationist (How difficult it can be sometimes for those of us who homeschool and do not want creationist literature). 2) My explorative 12yo is loving the make-your-hypothesis-and-see-whether-you're-right approach. She doesn't want to be spoonfed right answers; she wants to find them herself. 3) I like that it's not an idiot-proofed, curriculum-in-a-box program. There are pre-chosen tracks, but you can just as easily (with an investment of an afternoon)find excellent illustrations of concepts and experiments to enhance the experience.
Will certainly be using again next year as both kids will be doing High School Biology. I plan to use Biology Demystified for the structure of the course and A-C to enhance the concepts and bring the information to life.”lcraw, Co-op Member |
This curriculum has been a life saver! I purchased it after the curriculum we were using for middle school level physics just got too complicated for one of my children. The animations and hands-on activities helped her really see what she needed to learn. We, now, are planning a trip to see the Bodies Revealed exhibit and we are using Adaptive Curriculum to go in-depth in a study of the human body before we go. My kids love the simulations. I love the teacher guides and lab notes that accompany lessons. I will purchase this again next year for chemistry and biology, especially if a discount is offered through the Co-op. We love it!”Jeannie G., Co-op Member |
My kids loved this program. They would ask if they could do Adaptive-Curriculum! They were 12 and 10 when we used it last year. I'm not using it now, but I am planning to use it again next year. Very informative videos, user friendly, fun interactive lessons and even a short quiz to make sure they were paying attention! We loved it!”Elaine S., Co-op Member |
My children love Adaptive-Curriculum. I was hesitant at first to purchase this program but I am so glad that I took the leap of faith. It has become a daily part of our school work. What a great program!”Kim Haney, Co-op Member |
Grateful for the trial period--my daughter and I were so impressed we are ordering it now and in the years to come.”Esther G., Co-op Member |
My 9 yr old son is a perfectionist, which usually means that he is so afraid of getting something wrong that he often won't do anything at all. The interactive, intuitive modules in Adaptive Curriculum have helped him to experiment with learning and make discoveries on his own, emphasizing the process of learning rather than the right answer. My son loves science, but hates math. Nevertheless, he is always willing to play with the Adaptive Curriculum math modules (and he even enjoys himself). This is a program I keep recommending to others over and over any time they say they are looking for an interactive, computer-based science and math tool.”C, Williford, Co-op Member |
We are using Adaptive Curriculum science modules for our 10 year old daughter and our 12 year old son. What I like best as a home-school parent, with other younger children in the house, is that the labs are done in a virtual manner--no mess, dangerous chemicals or added expense. My children enjoy it because the learning is self-directed and easy to understand; and the interactive interface means that they are seeing, hearing and doing which aids in retention. I am grateful to have access to the program at a great price thanks to the Homeschool Buyers Co-op!”Renee Sumner, Co-op Member |
Adaptive-Curriculum has enhanced our Saxon Math and our science studies. I type in our topic and we do the lesson together. My daughter LOVES it and asks to do several everyday. The science is better than the math in creativity. I'll look to use the high school level when we get there. Great product! Teacher AND kid approved!”BEI, Co-op Member |
