I've never used any of those. I've bought different package curriculum. Last year was through Calvert. This year it was from Harcourt. I have no idea what I will do for my girls next year...still gathering information.
I thought the Van Cleave books were designed more to do experiments without really getting into the 'meat' of the science. Like a supplement but not a full science curriculum. Am I confusing it with something else? (that is totally possible)

I have used everyone except for singapore. I would say out of all of them I prefer noeo. Their textbook was just them picking out books that fits the topic. I now do my own science lessons. I purchase books from amazon and use library books. I also find experiments to go along with what we are studying. Making your own science lessons is not hard. It is also a lot more fun and cheaper. I paid around $100 for noeo and it was basically just doing things I could research on my own.

We've always just went with whatever was at hand. I want to try switching to Apologia next year.
Anyone use this?
I did the first year mistake and purchased a textbook. We're using the Scott Pearson Science Diamond Edition. It is super boring because all the fun interactive online stuff is for B&M schools only and not for HSers. So, I'm trying to find a good science curriculum for next year.
