Me and my kids love this curriculum! It’s broken down well and is very interesting and fun
My daughter loves doing it. She is preschool age and I read everything to her. I almost had my second grader use this curriculum, but decided to push him to biology 2 with his older sister and I’m glad I did because this I would be much too easy (and boring) for him. I will say, so far we have only been talking about the weather and that is not biology, to me, it’s Earth science.
My daughter looks forward to science class now and it's easy for me to follow. Love it.
This program is everything it advertises - a living book and experiment based biology course. We like how short the lessons are and that most experiment items are included in the kit. If I could offer any constructive criticism, it would be to make one teachers book instead of three. The program feels cohesive, I understand the intent behind the separate books. It would just be more convenient to have all the information for any given day on one page. However, that’s an incredibly nit-picky gripe. We love Noeo and will be using it again in the future! We also use MasterBooks science alongside Noeo to add depth. If you’re on the fence about this program, you can find gently used editions on eBay for fairly reasonable prices. Overall - solid program, easy short lessons, *most* materials come with it. No regrets here! The lessons leave plenty of margin for rabbit-trailing when desired, and are not overwhelming when going through a tough season of bare-minimums. Highly recommend!
We love all the of the noeo packages we have got so far!! This one in particular is really fun for the kiddos!
We absolutely love Noeo Chemistry! It is easy to follow and understand and the experiments help solidify the concepts taught in the lesson. My kids look forward to doing science and retain what they learn.
Love that this lends itself so easily to the scientific method. And it is really easy to get out and go with. It pairs really well with our Classical Conversations cycle 3 work.
My two boys, ages 7 and 9, love doing their Noeo science! They really enjoy the experiments! I love that it’s not super long lessons, and they maintain their focus!
The experiment were very simplistic and could have easily found information online to do them. I did not feel that is was worth the expense to have the materials gathered for you since most were common household materials. If I didn’t already have the item at home they were readily available to purchase and would have been much more affordable.
Got this for my kindergartner. She loves it! The experiments are fun and she is learning so much already. It’s all very user friendly. The instructor’s manual is perfectly laid out and so helpful. We are very happy with it and definitely plan to continue using this curriculum.
So thankful for this curriculum! It is great for multiple ages moves quickly, but is well flushed out. The kids really enjoy the different readers and
Experiments.
My Grandson age 5 loves this. Wants to do more science. I ordered a second book and experiment kits for my older Grandson. But, he didn't try. Age 8.
But, my granddaughter watched us do an experiment and 3 older public school children took over the 2nd kit and wow they love doing it ages 9, 10 and 11. They said at school they never done anything like this.
I love this curriculum. I tell all my friends about it. It’s easy to use. My kids are excited to learn and look forward to the experiments. I wish they had other subjects. We will be a lifer now.
I like the curriculum but I don’t love it. I ordered the Biology 1 for grades 1-3 and it wasn’t enough for my 3rd grader. I feel like this could be better labeled for grades K-2. I have to supplement a lot to get her where she needs to be. Also, the workbook isn’t necessary. We can ask the reading follow up questions without it, so it’s something we don’t use at all.
My kids are loving the books & experiments. As the teacher, I wish that my handbook and the experiment guide were one and the same. But otherwise liking it
Great bundle! Extremely valuable. Well structured, all the materials for experiences are included. Great books.
It has lots of materials organized so you can do any order. Many home materials are not everyone’s typical lol so having to go shopping for many things
This is our third NOEO science program. We actually have science as part of our curriculum but my kids enjoy the activities and experiments so much we supplement with this. Great customer service as well. We were right in the middile of an experiment and the cars sent didn't work. I was going to start the hunt online to replace them but thought I'd see if NOEO would help me out. Not only did they help get us working pieces but we got them in just 2 days! That was great because we didn't have to have a gap in the lesson.
I ordered this for my first grader. He is a kinesthetic learner and a voracious reader. We practiced a lot of Charlotte Mason’s principles in kindergarten and he absolutely THRIVED! Noeo is exactly what we needed for science. The living books are all exciting and there are lots of hands on experiments. The manual is simple and not overwhelming like other curriculums. I only wish our charter school would partner with Noeo. THANK YOU!
