Item Alert: Children's Encyclopedia, which is included in Core A, is used in the 5 Day program and is a required resource.

Science A sparks children's curiosity and introduces them to basic concepts in Biology, Earth Science, and Physics—topics you'll return to again over the years.

Colorful and engaging for kids and adults, the Usborne Internet-Linked Children's Encyclopedia leads children to explore countless wonders from space, botany, geology, and the human body.

Find the answers to questions such as: Why does thunder come with lightning? How much air do your lungs hold?

From clocks, computers, to trains and planes, students study how things work. Make a weather vane, absorb liquid through sugar cubes, and even taste-test milkshakes! Experiments cover science with air, plants, and science in the kitchen. The hilarious and fact-filled Discover & Do DVD enhances each experiment.

To complete your program you will need:

A Non-Consumable Science Supplies Kit (NSK).

The Usborne Internet-Linked Children's Encyclopedia (item AH04) is part of the Core A package. If you are ordering Science A as a stand-alone package, you will need to purchase The Children's Encyclopedia separately. (You'll use it for 11 weeks during the year.)

We are enjoying all the books included in this program. The IG is very helpful and the worksheets are fun. My son is almost 5 1/2 now and sometimes they questions are too difficult for him, especially since he wants to be able to write his own answers. But all in all, we love it and we are excited about science every day. I love the mix of selected experiments, too. Before this, we were not doing experiments because it was too much for me to come up with on my own. I love getting all the supplies in one nice, neat box! This is a great mix of a variety of books and subjects and we are never, ever bored. We love the extra suggestions in the IG, too. I look forward to next year!

Sonlight science is the best. The books have been read over and over! The activities are wonderful, and the dvd is an exceptional tool! Love it!

We have only been using Sonlight for a week and today my 5 year old daughter impressed a visitor with her Science knowledge. She was able to talk about the seven continents and how we live in North American continent. Our visitor was amazed and we were happy she loves learning with Sonlight.

5 stars for this curriculum. I love the use of Usborne books and so does my child. The instructor's guide is well laid out (this is my first guide from SL), and the weekly activity sheets are a great review for the material that was just covered. The daily lessons are short, we often do 2 or 3 in the same day when we do Science which is helpful since we added this in mid-year. The video is an excellent tool, my kids love watching the experiments. I enjoy learning fun-facts as we read through the day's material. (Did you know frogs use their eyes to help push food down their throats?) Can't say enough about this package from Sonlight, it has made me a customer for the long haul.

Wow, Sonlight did it again! Even my 3.5 yo listens to our science lesson and can tell you what causes the wind! Excellent material and so much fun! My children remember everything we have read!
