Exploring Creation With Apologia General Science

After trying to work with the 7th grade Abeka science textbook, my daughter and I realized we were not getting the results we wanted. We love the book but don't feel it can be our main text. Earlier in the year we had begun Apologia General Science but had to lay it down due to family illness. While I was focused on getting better the girls went back to using Abeka because it is what they have always used. The books are beautiful and filled with wonderful information but the information just wasn't sticking. We are once again trying Apologia and will be using the super blogspot of Marty Sahm at http://www.homeschoolersresources.blogspot.com/ . The resources are fantastic!! My daughter has asked that I put links for her so she can easily find what she needs for each module. I will do my best to help her love learning science! :)
