I am officially convinced that Sonlight has the most fun science program ever! Sonlight science encourages a curiosity about God's creation and a love of learning about it. It is perfect for our boys because it has a good mix of reading, worksheets, outside discovery and hands-on experiments. It is designed in a way that we can all do the same things together, and the teachers manual makes the lesson planning so easy. In their first year of Sonlight, Zachary (5) and Anthony (4) are quite proud of the seedlings they grew with their Science A program. 

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!

"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."
