"Sonlight's Apologia science courses are top notch and challenging," writes Jennifer C of Englewood, OH, "but with all the background of science we've had over our earlier Sonlight years, Joshua (16) and Elizabeth (now graduated, at 18) succeeded very well in these courses.They studied Sonlight's Biology, Chemistry and Advanced Biology, as true partners. It was very helpful for them to learn to cooperate, guide and teach each other, and even have a little 'healthy competition' for their tests. Sonlight's planning guides are always very helpful for scheduling, the science supply boxes essential, and the microscope we bought from Sonlight many years ago is a strong piece of equipment and has served faithfully." Here, Dad found Joshua and Elizabeth completing a microscope experiment for Advanced Biology. The C's have homeschooled all four of their children for 17 years while serving as missionaries in Uganda. They have used Sonlight exclusively. 

"This year, we had to step back from the schedule Sonlight provides and slow down a bit. I was so worried about falling behind or missing out," writes Lily W of Saint Paul, MN. "Then I realized that Sonlight's integrated literature made it easy to jump around a bit and then come back to where we were! Sonlight's planning allowed us the flexibility to tailor our schooling to our lives, instead of the other way around." Lily's husband Eric, "loves doing the hands-on science work with the kids, giving Mama a little break." Here he is with Franklin (10, Science and HBL E), Harriet (9), Rosemary (8), and Howard (7) teaching them how to use their microscope.

Sonlight science kits are the ONLY way I can accomplish experiments without endless anxiety over whether I have the supplies needed each day. They are a complete lifesaver, perhaps better described as a complete 'science saver.' My kids love it and I get to start the day with the confidence that nothing is going to postpone another experiment. Here, Joshua (12) uses his swimming goggles rather creatively for the first science experiment of the year. He and Joy (10) are studying Core G and Science H in their fifth year of Sonlight.
