Students in the Science 2 program study historical and mechanical technology (how things are made); geology (rocks and minerals); biology (plants, animals, babies and habitats); and microscopy. Students will return again to study each and every one of these topics in later years.

As with the Science 1 program, fascinating Usborne books take the lead, though we have included in the curriculum two zany "Magic School Bus" books (part of the Five-Day package). We also study origins with the excellent text, The Great Dinosaur Mystery and the Bible.

The 30 primary experiments we do this year are concerned with weather (meteorology), the human body, and electrical batteries.

To complete your program you will need:

A Non-Consumable Science Supplies Kit (NSK).

5 out of 5 stars by Jennifer S. on 2007-09-15
What a fun, interesting and exciting introduction to the world of science! My 8 yr. old daughter's favorite day of the week is Friday - experiment day. As noted in the catalog, this program provides an overview of science - not requiring mastery but familiarity. That's a perfect fit for our family and we don't plan to start systematic scientific study for a few years. The Magic School Bus books present Evolutionary theory as fact - no surprise - but the books are wonderful. We enjoy the television program and simply discuss points of contention when we come to them. Also as noted on the Website, the experiments in Science Activities aren't nearly as dramatic in practice as they are illustrated in the book, but worthwhile nonetheless. Our favorite part of the program is the Discover & Do DVD. Super! My children like to watch the DVD during "non-school" hours. Is this a necessary part of your curriculum? Probably not. You can do the same thing with nature walks and trips to the library. That said, it's a nice addition to our homeschool program and we'll continue to include Sonlight science in our annual budget.
