Time for science' used to mean a fight in our home. Ben just never enjoyed the two other curriculums we tried. Then I purchased a microscope through Sonlight using the 6-month payment plan and Sonlight's guarantee. We put it to use with Sonlight E, and a formerly reluctant science learner now enjoys using the microscope in his studies. Purchase of the microscope through Sonlight has enhanced his learning and made my job as his teacher much easier. Thanks Sonlight! Here, 12-year-old Ben uses the Sonlight Ultra Microscope (#250-40) to study pond and garden life.

We love Sonlight because it teaches our children to think critically about what they are learning. It challenges them to carefully consider the worldview that the media and many of their friends hold. They are learning that the biblical worldview is supported by science (among other subjects) and they are learning how to defend their faith. Sonlight also breaks us free from the 'school at home' mindset by allowing a more relaxed learning environment and encouraging discussion rather than completing lots of worksheets. Thanks Sonlight! Here, twelve-year-old Mackenzie reads from Science G in her third year of Sonlight.

It's amazing what Sonlight has done for our family! Though each child is studying his own Core, none ever wants to miss a good story or an exciting lesson, intended for them or not! This is especially true whenever our Sonlight Ultra Microscope is in use! Apologia Biology is definitely more exciting with an up close look at God's creation. Who could resist? Even a five year old "princess" takes time out to have a look! "Love To Learn" ---they really do!
