Physics 2

Content to advanced

My son will be in 4th grade this coming year and bought the physics 2. The material is amazing and very complete, but he isn't anywhere ready for what is said to be for his age group.

Disappointed

I wanted to love the idea of a complete kit with supplies and living books, but maybe that works better for level 1. Most of the supplies are laughable. I asked to return it but got no reply. The things that should have been included are not . .. For example how are CDs considered "household items" (especially when you know they're getting scratched up). On the other hand, straws and rubber bands , those could have been left out. Most importantly, having to to find the main information from various pages in various books like Encyclopedia or Exploratorium is exhausting and annoying. The order of topics doesn't make sense to me either, why is centripetal force at the beginning of a lesson on energy? An organized textbook would have been simpler.

Not what I was hoping for

We had high hopes, but its not working very well for us. Half the books read just like text books, the charts for what to do daily are confusing and many of the experiments just dont work which really makes it hard for my kids to stay interested. The Lab book is just worksheets of questions and they dread that part. I really wanted Noeo to work for us, but its not a good fit. My kids using this are boy age 10 and girl age 9.
