I really enjoy curriculum comparisons, too! We've never used either Masterbooks or BJU before, so this was really interesting.

These are the two science programs I'm choosing between so I really appreciate this great video! I really appreciated how you pointed out all the differences but I wish you would've maybe said a little more about which you would choose and why. Masterbooks looks more homeschool and time friendly and BJU looks like it's better at preparing your child for harder work in High School and college but it'll take alot longer to complete. I still don't know know which to choose! I don't want to have any subject take up a huge part of the day but at the same time I really want them to learn and retain concepts. Do you think Masterbooks would take half the time?

This was a great comparison! Which one of the two do you think you’ll use? I’ve never really considered BJU bc of the cost but it has some things I do like. But I love the price of MB!!

I totally agree! For the price, we are going to stick with MB through elementary. I may switch around 7th or 8th, depending on cost, interest, etc.

@@HomeschoolwithJen yes, I think we will continue with MB for elementary and 6th grade but we are trying out Apologia General Science for 7th next year for my oldest. It’s pricey but gets great reviews for prep for high school. I love how it teaches note taking!

I'm struggling with MB. First year using. My oldest daughter isn't liking it very much. I feel the teacher guide isn't very helpful. Not sure if I'm missing something. Idk how to guide her. She is in the 7th grade and typically completely on independent and I'm just checking her work at the end of the day.

7th grade is tough because you are into the challenging questions and activities. We are still in the lower grade for the teacher's guide. I haven't run into the issue you describe, but I can see that in the upper grades, you will need to bring in additional information in order to complete some of the challenge activities. His Arrows - Our Hands has an 8th grader this year and I think she did one of the Answers in Genesis science units with her 7th grader. The AIG units were combined into the MasterBooks science text books so she may be able to provide some insight into a 7th grade experience with the science units. Hope it gets better!

In your opinion, could a student use the BJU student text and the work text to read and complete independently, or would the lesson videos or TG be absolutely necessary?

In general, I’m a proponent of the teacher’s guides for BJU. They offer great additional explanation, answers, and more resources. Depending on you and your child, the lesson videos may not be necessary. However, I will recommend the teacher’s guide be used with the curriculum.
