"One of the first science experiments in Science A was to go outside and count the number of living creatures we could find," writes Catriona W of Uganda. "This was an incredibly rewarding experience, and captivated the boys. Now they always look forward to the experiments and practical demonstrations, and these provide a far better foundation than material that would be covered in a classroom setting. We love the way Sonlight builds around real-life experiences and examples, and has plenty of suggestions for practical tasks, field trips, and other ways to bring the material to life."

"With Sonlight, we know our family is getting a well-rounded curriculum filled with rich literature that deepens our love for God's world," writes Rebecca Y of Burbank, CA. "The flexibility it gives to have each child learn at their own level, yet together, too, is fantastic. Our favorite part of the day is taking school outdoors for some hands-on learning during science!"

No bland textbook can provide Sonlight moments like this!. Science Activities Vol. 2 and the accompanying Discover & Do DVD [from Science A] provided many hours of wonder, excitement and fun at our house this year. I am so grateful to Sonlight for helping us foster an enjoyment of Science through wonderful books, a well-organized IG, the ready-to-use supplies kit and hands-on activities. Jonathan (6) and Caroline (7) were so excited when their Science A experiment successfully created wind. They are now starting their third year of Sonlight with Core B and Science B.
