a lot of it we like, and some of it is too hard (math) and some of it is frustrating, because they expect the teacher to know more than is contained in the text. The text is actually pretty nice, laid out well, color photos, clear explanations. The workbook is were we usually run into problems when we do, it just seems to expect more than is taught in the text. The labs that we are able to do (60-70%) are doable and fun, but I invested in about $70 in lab equip, because my kids get into it.
All in all, unless you feel confident in science, I'm not sure I'd recommend it. We won't be using it again next year.
