“This course is new to us this year. Last year we did General Science and it was good but we did it with the flash drives and cd's. We decided to try a different route this year with the self pace course and it's fantastic. Going forward, we will be implementing self pace courses throughout his high school years. Also, with the self pace course it helps my son take as long as he needs to learn the subject without being forced to rush through a section if he is not comfortable with the material given to him. This year he throughly loves science and is his favorite subject.”
“Mrs. Seligson is an excellent teacher! My 9th grader really likes how she explains everything; the content is consistently easy to comprehend and follow along with.”
“I really like this program because it's well laid out and easy for my 8th grader to do it all on her own. We have used other curriculum and when reviewing it showed videos but it didn't have enough interactive activities throughout it. Apologia offers the visuals to help make the learning more fun. I highly recommend.”
“I have used the Apologia middle school and high school science courses for decades. I am homeschooling my last of 8 and the books are literally falling apart. We tried the Physical Science trial course and my daughter loved it! Its a much needed change of pace for her schooling. She loves the videos and finds the student notebook a great asset. So glad I looked into the self paced course. Still have the Apologia quality without having to research a different publisher. Works so well for us!”
“Physical Science is pretty in depth and heavy for my two 6th graders and even my 8th grader. My kids are not really liking it, but we are only 3 weeks in. I am trying to hang in there hoping it doesn't get too crazy in the mathematical areas.”
Hi Abigail,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. Our Physical Science course is recommended for grades 8th or 9th. It is a rigorous course designed to prepare students for our high school lab sciences. We understand that Physical Science can feel a bit heavy, especially early on, and it's not uncommon for students to need some time to adjust to the depth of the material.
