I typically buy our curriculum for the following year ridiculously early. So I will be buying 7A grade probably in a few months so I guess I need to figure out which path we will take and if I need to make substitutions. The MP A track would be this correct:
7th: Tiner Exploring Planet Earth
8th: Tiner Exploring Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry
9th: Novare Physical Science
10-12 ?? (HLS lists Chemistry, Physics, and AP Biology or Physics, which publisher?)
momgineer is this what you are suggesting and which publishers are you recommending for 9-11th?
6th= Trees/Biology
7th: Novare Physical Science
8th: Novare Earth Science
9th: Intro to physics
10th: Biology
11th: Chemistry
12th: Choose between Trig physics, astronomy, or anatomy
OR: advanced student and strong in math:
9th: biology
10th: advanced chemistry
11th: trig physics
12: an AP course or a community college science
I know there isn’t a one size fits all and we all choose what is best for our families but I am curious as to the pro’s and con’s of each these paths. I know nothing about any of this so I need those who have gone before to direct and guide! If Novare is a 7th grade book why is it listed in the 9A science track?
