Explosions! Magic! KABOOM!
This is what some of my kids think about when they think science. We are big on experiments! So far, I haven't found any one specific 'text' for science that I really like, so it's more of a collection. I plan to do something along the lines of Unit Studies in the Science area: A month of Chemistry, a month of Biology, a month of Oceanography, a month of Astronomy, etc. Here is some of our collection...
Science Club
A monthly (or bi-monthly) subscription! In the mail, you receive a science topic along with supplies to do experiments! Perfect for a springboard! Also includes links to Magic School bus Club, science kits and games, and group kits! Also includes links for internet helps/games/fun for each topic!
