Switching up High School science order to enable combining
Posted: Sun May 13, 2018 11:03 pm
Hello, with my oldest on the verge of starting high school, I am starting to get nervous about the amount of time it will take to teach high school science. I want to be present to help with labs, but my days are already SO full! I was wondering, since my kids are all about 2 guides apart and my oldest is the one the least interested in science, whether I could switch up her science and combine her with her younger sister who is more interested in science for some of the guides with the most time-consuming lab portions. I am not even sure how to begin figuring out how to do this, as I know the progression is carefully planned. I was wondering if my oldest could do a toned-down version of the AH2 Astronomy/Geology course (or some other science) as a freshman so that she could do IPC as a sophomore and combine with her then 8th grade sister (who would be in Algebra 1 at that point). Then the two of them could do science together for the rest of my oldest's high school time.
My kids are all college-bound, but my oldest is unlikely to study something science-oriented (though I would like to keep her options open). My second daughter counts science as one of her favorite subjects.
Would something like this work? Or should I not worry about time constraints of teaching two different lab sciences?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts!
