Hi Melanie, We use Apologia Science (both elementary and high school) as our primary science program. Highly recommend! We've also incorporated nature journals and the Handbook of Nature Study into our lives since our children were little.

Thanks for the post! May I ask what other science curriculum you use for your older children, if you just incorporate the lapbooks occasionally?

MomStarr – All of our children really enjoyed the lapbooking. Although I really thought that some of the older ones would find it tedious, I was proved wrong. I will say that I think the fact that my oldest are girls makes a difference, not sure how an 11 year old boy will feel. I suggest you try an eProduct, that way you can print out as many as you like and if is something that interests him then he can join in.

I can see how my younger children would really enjoy doing these from time to time but how did it challenge or interest the older one? Your oldest is a girl and mine being a boy I wonder if he would appreciate the activities? He is good with hands on activities but he is still a boy of 11.

I like lapbooks, but like you, I only do them occasionally. My kids LOVE them, but I’m not crazy about a lot of prep work for school! However, I do notice that they remember what they learned, and they like to go back and read the lapbook again. For my 3 year old, I am working on one that has little matching card games and other re-usable activities so it lasts awhile. It’s on dinosaurs, of course. I’ll post it on my blog when it’s finished. Thanks for sharing!

How funny! I just went to one of their workshops yesterday, and I just did a lapbooking post on my blog as well!
