We use Apologia Science books for school. I really like how they focus on only one subject for the year. I also like that it is a conversational textbook. I use the book by reading a small subtitle each day. Then, the child does a small activity that relates to what we discussed. I would estimate that each chapter in the Apologia book has about 4 to 6 notebook pages which correspond to each chapter. It takes us no more than 15 minutes unless we are doing an experiment. I also occassionally blog about their experiments. Often, I just make a copy of what I wrote from the blog and have them place it in their notebook. Here is a small sample of the Little Lady's Botany book from this year so far.
