We've done all the grammar stage programs of ES and now my oldest is doing her new Logic Bio. I found ES while looking for something else and we haven't turned back. There were a lot of weeks that didn't have experiments. We did Biology I of Noeo and didn't end up finishing it. There's also a lapbooking option with some of the grammar programs for ES which my dd loves! ES has more/better experiments and the notebooking pages are much better. But the basic NOEO program has more hands-on than it looks at first- that Adventures With Atoms and Molecules book is basically a lab book.

We're science nuts here though, so we also add the Science Wiz kits (chem+, DNA, and the other chem one) and the Thames and Kosmos C3000 kit, which is a little overkill, but fun, plus other experiments I just remember doing or look up. We're only doing chem (1 & 2) so far, but note that NOEO books have a lot of experiments embedded in them, so there are a lot more experiments (at least in chem) than just the YSC kits. I was also thinking I might get a science kit (not YSC). Has anyone used both and can compare? Particularly the chem programs. It also seems to have a little more meat in the guide. ES doesn't have science kits, but it does list experiments to do each week (more often than NOEO). So how does NOEO compare to Elemental Science? I plan to do chemistry next year, and I was looking at NOEO and ES, and they appear to use pretty much the same books. So many of the experiments and activities match up almost perfectly, but it required me to go through it all at the beginning, reading the lessons and making a table in excel of which page would go with which. I honestly wish they would just package Milestones in Science with the program. It gave us about 3 times as many experiments (4x when combined with Galileo For Kids), so we have the option of doing one about every other day if we want, more if we do the "try-its" in the Usborne books. Instead of the science kits in the package I bought Milestones In Science and a Force and Motion kit from Lakeshore Learning. My son had read two of the resources in Physics this year (Archimedes and Galileo books) so we substituted with a Jim Weiss recording and the more detailed Galileo For Kids. I spent the first two years rewriting the directions on the computer or trying to hide the sheet during our lessons. If I wanted to hand my child a sheet that asked him the question, told him the answer, and expected no thinking whatsoever I would not be schooling him at home. It's not the experiments themselves, but the way the directions are written. I am very unimpressed with the quality of experiments from the Young Scientist Club. The open-and-go guide is very easy to use. The variety and great illustrations really help to cement the topic in his head. We have enjoyed all three II level courses, and are doing physics right now.
