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.

Sonlight lessons are all planned out for me and they include all kinds of fun activities. This was our first year homeschooling. I've been terribly busy and sleep-deprived with a new baby and three young children. Using Sonlight's Science A program was the best decision I could have made. Although the program is laid out in a weekly schedule, I've found it easy to adjust according to our needs. Some weeks we do a bit each day. Other times we have a 'Science Day' and do a week's worth of lessons and activities all at once. I simply pick up where we left off. Here, Gideon (2), Miriam (5) and Tabitha (6) make "hot lava" while studying volcanoes.

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.
