As she uses the first grade package with her two boys, Kim M of Maryville, TN writes: "Each week our Science B program clearly guided us, with colorful pictures and a demonstration video, in a hands-on science experiment. It was my favorite part about homeschooling this year, and I think it was for my boys as well!" Here, Jay (6) and Wesley (8) eagerly learn about water power by creating their own water wheel with simple household items.

I love the fact that I can open my Instructor's Guide after making my morning coffee, read the schedule and start school! Everything is laid out for me and as a busy mom of three, this saves my sanity and makes me excited to homeschool for the long haul. Luke loves Sonlight Science. Every week he asks when 'experiment day' will be. I wish you could have seen their expressions after the volcano erupted and the 'lava' was all over their faces. (I think I may have added too much dish soap!) Luke (6, Core B) and Grace (4) are pictured prior to the big eruption.

Before I switched to Sonlight, I was a stressed-out mom. Especially in the area of science. Sonlight makes it so easy. The IGs lay things out for me and explain them so well that it's easy to follow along and the year flies by. The kids enjoy the Activity Sheets, and they absolutely love watching the experiment DVD and doing the hands-on activities. I like that there are always extra activity suggestions to enhance their learning. Sonlight has allowed me to spend more time enjoying the homeschool experience. Thank you!
