Discover & Do: Science Supplies Kits
Maybe you don't have a science background. Maybe the mere mention of conducting science experiments sends chills down your spine. It really doesn’t have to! You don’t have to be an expert to expose your children to hands-on activities and experiments that spark an ongoing interest and possibly inspire a future career!
We understand that having to hunt around at the last minute for the bendable straws, soap-free steel wool, medium-sized steel washers, clay, and so forth that are required to do some of the science experiments can be overwhelming.
Most of the experiments in Sonlight's Science Programs can be done with common household items, but to minimize prep, we've included Discover & Do: Science Supplies Kits in every program. These Science Supplies Kits eliminate the futile searches for all the small and unusual items you'll need to conduct the experiments: things you wouldn't normally have around the house and other items you might own but wouldn't be able, easily, to put your hands on. The supply kits include everything from marbles and magnets to seeds, straws, powerful magnets and more. Minimal prep time!
After gathering all your supplies together, we place them in a handy, resealable, zip-lock bag so you'll always know where everything is when you need it.
With the help of Discover & Do: Science Supplies Kits, science becomes a subject that inspires you and your children to love science!

Hands-On Experiments
There is no better way to delight your kids with the wonders of science (and reinforce lessons!) than by experiencing it firsthand through hands-on activities and experiments. With Sonlight Science, your students will conduct simple, engaging, hands-on experiments and activities in your home that reinforce the concepts learned in your reading.
Sonlight Science K-H now includes Discover & Do: Science Experiments. With Discover & Do, children will not just memorize the steps of the scientific process. Rather, your students will conduct simple, engaging, hands-on experiments in your home and actually use the scientific method to explore their world in a fun, enjoyable and interactive way. Each experiment ties directly to that week’s reading material for an interconnected experience that reinforces the concepts studied and provides hands-on application of the subject matter.
An updated look!
As Discover & Do: Science Experiments are integrated into our science programs (currently levels K through H), the Science Supplies Kit boxes and included supplies have been updated to reflect the Discover & Do brand. Our Science Supplies Kits still include many of the supplies (excluding common household items), worksheets and templates you need to complete the experiments in each program, reducing set up time and frustration, so you actually do the experiments.
In Sonlight Science levels K through H, not only has the Supplies Kit box received a new look, but the included supplies have also changed to match the new experiments included in those levels.
The Supplies Kits in Sonlight Science levels J and higher received the new Discover & Do: Science Supplies Kit branding as well, but the materials and included supplies did not change. For these levels, the Supplies Kits are the same product as before, but now only have a new look.
