Thank you for such a thorough explanation. I ordered this already and I am so glad to get an inside look. Thank you again for calming my fears if I made the right decision and I am so happy that I did order this curriculum.
Thanks for showing this! I’ve been having the hardest time finding a science and social studies curriculum for my daughter! This might work out. She is already doing the lifpac for LA.
We homeschool as well. Utilizing this same curriculum as well. We are currently entering 3rd grade..which we also only recieve the LIFEPAC Science, History and Geography as we use Horizons for all the rest...was extremely disappointed that in Section 4 on page 41 entitled "YOU GROW AND CHANGE" of the Science unit 1 Student Workbook the publishers included a inferred reference as fact...Animals as well plants do indeed have Conscience, Spirit and Mind...I.e. Creativity...shaking my head. No worries a letter is being written.
This didn’t bother me. Actually, it is refreshing to find in a Christian curriculum. Trees breathe. Animals have internal instinct. The creator, who created all things, has intertwined His “DNA” (for lack of a better term), in all created things. Me. Plants. Animals. We are NOT all little Gods. But God is in all things. It’s a very different and good way to view God in all His expansiveness. I love being able to explain these things to my kids. Thanks for your review! It was very helpful!
Thank you for showing the Science and Geography Lifepac books. I wanted to see what they looked like on the inside and that helped. I use Christian Light Education, but I am trying to find a Science that is more colorful plus academically sound. Is this the only curriculum you have used? Why do you like this curriculum?
Hello Zoe Girl! This school year was our first year homeschooling, so I tried a few different things. My 12 yr old son is the one who used the life pac science and history. It wasn't a good fit for him. He wasn't retaining the information, he would read and answer the questions but after would not really learn the information. He does love to read historical fiction so next year we are going to use a Charlotte Mason approach. He learns better through reading stories and with living books. This doesn't mean that Lifepac will not work for other children. If the child works well with workbooks it is a good curriculum. It is colorful has maps and pictures. I hope this helps answer your question. :)
I wanted to share our experiences with this curriculum so you can be better informed. We have the entire curriculum, grades 2,4 and 6. We are not happy with it. I always have my kids look up their answers on questions and the answers are not always clear in the subject matter. Sometimes they aren't in there to be found. Sometimes they are extremely hard to find. And at times they will be worded differently than the question. Just sat week my daughter did a crossword puzzle and I had to give her all the answers due to the wording being different in the subject matter. Not very beneficial if they have to be given the answers. And we have this problem often with this curriculum. One more thing I want to mention is the workload. Some subjects have a big workload so depending on your child you may need to cut the workload in half. We had to do that with our kids. 7-8 pages of language arts and math in one day, just to give you an idea.
I do not Xerox these books and I don't know anyone who does. I don't think you can make copies because of the copyright. I know that there are some workbooks and some curriculum that do allow making copies for family use only, but I don't think Lifepac gives that permission.

Thanks! Your video helped me decide on the government lifepacs for 12th grade.

Do you prefer this to ACE?
hi, for buying that curricula, is there any way we can get a discount or a place we can buy it cheaper, maybe a second hand or anything else?

We are entering 3rd grade as well. This is a little concerning to me as well. We haven't received our lifepacs as of yet but should next week.
Just Wendt For 2nd grade what curriculum did you use ...I’m trying to find one for my 2nd grade daughter

Those unit headings are identical to Calvert's online homeschool curriculum for grade six.
How long do these science experiments usually take to set up and complete?

I meant to type "last week" and not "sat week" Sorry, I couldn't edit.
+Ky Girl Hi I wanted to know how do you grade by points..
Ky Girl hey. Who do you recommend? We are trying to find one for our daughter.
Just curious do you or do you know of people that Xerox the books so that younger siblings can re-use?
I do not Xerox these books and I don't know anyone who does. I don't think you can make copies because of the copyright. I know that there are some workbooks and some curriculum that do allow making copies for family use only, but I don't think Lifepac gives that permission.
