Far From Age-Appropriate
14. Oktober 2009
I work in a private school that uses a mix of Bob Jones and A-Beka. I was introduced to this curriculum recently and I was immediately worried. In reading the foreword of the text, the authors claim that they made the text easier to read and less complicated in this edition. I beg to differ, and I pity the students who had to read the previous editions.
With experience in the public school and plenty of upper-level college science, education, and literacy courses, I can tell readily when a textbook is not age appropriate and what it takes to understand the text.
I decided to examine this book at a deeper level then what I originally wanted to because I was given an education regarding literacy and age-appropriateness of literature. I gave this the ol' Fry Readability test in multiple places in the textbook.
Now, remember, this is a book meant for 8th graders.
These are my results.
Trial 1:
Sentences per 100 words -- 3.9
Syllables per 100 words -- 152
Reading Level -- 11th Grade
Trial 2:
Sentences per 100 words -- 4.5
Syllables per 100 words -- 160
Reading Level -- 12th Grade
Trial 3:
Sentences per 100 words -- 5.5
Syllables per 100 words -- 145
Reading Level -- 9th Grade
Average Reading Level = 11 (rounded up)
Understanding the current American situation where reading is a chore, this textbook is almost guaranteed to be over instructional level for a majority of students.
For fun, I decided to try this once more on the glossary within the textbook, thinking to myself that if there was ever one portion of the textbook that would need to get information across easily to students, it would be here.
Glossary Results (wait for it):
Sentences per 100 words -- 5
Syllables per 100 words -- 171
Reading Level -- College and above.
Conclusion: Based on my understanding of scientific education and literacy assessment measures, this textbook is far from age appropriate.

Challenging Homeschool Science Curriculum
4. Juli 2011
I received Earth and Science 3rd edition for free from another homeschool mom. I figured if I didn't like the curriculum then I had lost nothing. It is a bit dry and I'm using for my 8th and 10th grade sons who like it very much. They don't do pretty, flowery, appealing, colorful, over simplified curriculum of any kind. It's straight forward, cut, and dried. I like that. I'm in the homeschool world not because I want to make things easier on my kids but because I want to challenge them and this curriculum is exactly that: challenging. I've tried Apologia curriculum and hated it because it was too simple and lost their attention easily. Both boys are enjoying this program and learning what they need to learn. That's what counts.

Dull and wrong-headed
10. Dezember 2008
I encountered this book when tutoring the daughter of a friend. On the positive side: It has pretty pictures. That's about it. This title is sold as an 8th-grade text. It is dry, gives a dull, encyclopedic overview, and never goes into any depth for real understanding (except, perhaps, for the phases of the moon and eclipses). It uses advanced terms and refers to sophisticated concepts without explanation. Additionally, any time that there is some bit of cosmological history that scientists do not swear to know to the exact detail (for example, competing theories around the origin of the Earth's moon), the authors use this as evidence that evolution is wrong. One can indeed poke holes here and there in Darwin, but that's just goofy. And insidious. And ultimately, boring. It's a crime to make to universe so dull. (I have a degree in Physics and have been teaching high school science for ten years.)
