 My son has not complained once about using this, which is high praise for him. He's learned quite a bit and the price is VERY reasonable. We have told several people about it.” S. Martin, Co-op Member |
We have been very happy with Fascinating-Education Chemistry. I have a reluctant student, yet he claims this course is as clear and detailed as Teaching Textbooks which we have used for years. He is doing well with this, and is interested enough to do more than one unit per day!”Virginia Harlow, Co-op Member |
This is the perfect science program for a visual learner; a relief from regular science textbooks that usually give one picture with a pages of print. We've tried books-on-tape and other alternatives for science and have had little success until now.
The content is set up for optimal cognitive learning for this age group. I appreciate this because my reading-challenged child can learn readily from this program as his siblings.
The pictures are fun and sometimes goofy - nothing offensive or slick. The visual cues "stick" in the memory so much better than traditional learning methods. I mentioned one character the other day and all three kids immediately knew what I was talking about, which launched us into a conversation. Even though I am not actively teaching the content, I am facilitating learning with the aide of this program.
The content is excellent. I'm in the medical field so I'm familiar with biology but I didn't learn some this until college. My kids are getting a head start!
We've never used a formal science study before. This program has been a Godsend because it gives the technical information in a way kids can readily understand and not overwhelm. I enjoy how the program goes from details to the "big picture" and connects the facts to everything learned in the particular lesson. It makes learning interesting and intriguing.
I'm thankful the program discusses various theories and philosophies without excluding or giving too much attention to one particular school of thought (i.e. evolution, big bang, etc.) That launched new conversation and awareness in our homeschool which I could direct from what we personally believe and what the secular world pushes as the only option.
We've already purchased the next in program in the series. I don't expect my 10 year old to understand or retain everything she is learning but it has been an excellent program for the older children and all of them are passing the unit tests with little difficulty. The children are more relaxed and comfortable tackling science-related issues now.
This has been one the children's first experiences with tests. I'm glad they are learning how to pay attention to the content (and not just what they are interested in). They are not learning just random facts but crucial facts that relate to the world around them.”mandy, Co-op Member |
My 12 year old son seems to be enjoying the videos very much and believes he's learning a lot. This is one of the subjects he does on his own, without prodding from me. It's hard to find a science program that can capture a student's interest and I think this program does that.”Shari Rosenman, Co-op Member |
This is an incredible curriculum. What a joy to have such solid science taught so conceptually and practically (with a dose of humor to boot).”Jen S, Co-op Member |
Our daughter found the Fascinating Biology interesting and informative. We were very pleased with the product. She was able to work at her speed and level, could review as needed, and found it easy to understand, without being simplistic. We give it "two thumbs up!". I felt it was a thorough curriculum and was very satisfied.”Danielle P., Co-op Member |
