We just started using The Story of Science Aristotle and my 13 year old is really liking it. I bought the sudent and teacher guides, and we mostly use it as as discussion jumpoff point, and I pick things out of the teacher guide I think she might be interested in the cross curriculum suggestions. I wish we had discovered these at the beginning of the school year.
