[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow- this might be my favorite post ever! I feel like it should be cross-posted in the homeschool section too. I am still on the fence about whether we middle through with DL or switch to homeschool completely.

Have any of you experienced folks used the Building Foundations for Scientific Understanding content? https://outskirtspress.com/BFSU1/

My adhd/ dysgraphic/ gifted child has desperately missed science education.  We have done all of the Mel science kits as a stop gap, but I need to be prepared to do more.

I was looking at some of the Great Courses, but I think they are too much plus they are expensive.

Thanks for any additional advice you can share![/quote]

I'm the PP with the ridiculously long posts (sorry).  I looked at BFSU and decided against it but can not, for the life of me, remember why.

What grade is your kid in?  Does he have a particular type of science he wants to learn about?  My 7th grader is my science lover, and is also a gifted kid with multiple disabilities (3E is that a thing?).  I can make suggestions for things he loved.  I didn't put all the things he did because I thought they would be too much for a 5th grader.

You can get some of the Great Courses on Audible.  They are way cheaper that way.  [/quote]

PP here- my sone is a rising 5th grader who reads at college level and writes at 2nd grade level (4th grade with a scribe).  He loves any science areas, but right now is most interested in chemistry, physics, aerobatics, botany, and geology.  He is not into audiobooks and prefers some visuals along with his content so we have been watching documentaries together.  Given how diverse his science interest are, I was thinking BFSU would be a solid foundation across areas.

I am also planning to try to address the writing anxiety by doing something fun (night zookeeper) for a while and then go back into something more structured like IEW to learn both note taking and writing.

I really appreciate the time you’ve take to respond.  I also have a rising 8th grader who is dyslexic and remediated above grade level so I am studying all of your suggestions.[/quote]
