Wow where did the summer go!?

We started our 2008 -09 Science today! We will be using Apologia Physical Science as our spine with my 7th and 9th grade gals. I use  Donna Youngs Schedule for Apologia Physical Science. http://donnayoung.org/apologia/physical.htm  I love Michelle's blog on Apologia Physical science. http://appliejuice.com/physical-science/ and this one http://higherupandfurtherin.blogspot.com/2007/07/how-we-organize-apologia-notebooks.html on how to organize notebooks for older kids.
