The Sonlight Cores were igniting a love for learning in my girls, so we decided to give Sonlight Science a try. When my older girls were smaller, we often overlooked science. But since [starting Sonlight Science], science is a subject that gets done. As soon as any of the children are reading comfortably, I find them independently poring over their engaging science books. The supply kits and the Discover and Do DVD (a favorite even of our 4-year-old) allow us regular lab work with little effort to get everything together. And my high schoolers have everything they need – from weekly schedules to chemicals to microscopes! Here, Marco (4), Danielle (7), Miguel (9), Camilla (13) and Beatrice (15) study Science in the family's tenth year of Sonlight.

We're entering our fourth year with Sonlight, and my boys love learning together more and more. Our boys love their Sonlight books. No matter how much we read to them, they always beg for more. Even with selections I didn't think they'd like, I'll still hear, 'Mommy, don't stop. More!' As an added bonus, even though the boys are almost four years apart, they still enjoy each other's books. This past spring, my 3-year-old would come running whenever he heard us start discussing our science books. 'Mommy, Mommy! Are you reading science? Wait for me!' I love that the whole family—me included—gets excited about what we're learning. Janet took this shot in their backyard this summer on a hot Tennessee morning. Samuel (7) is studying Core C and Science C as Jonathan (3) listens in and explores Sonlight's preschool programs.

"Every year I get more attached to Sonlight and the freedom it gives me to adapt one Core to multiple children. I've been able to keep both boys in the same Core and adapt the Readers, Math, and Handwriting to their specific levels. Science is their FAVORITE! They really get into it with 'lab coats' and 'safety glasses.' It's a weight off my shoulders to know the lesson plans are already made and all I need is about an hour Sunday night to preview what's ahead." Corban (9), Jadon (7) and Jeuel (2) have been experimenting with Sonlight for three years. Here they're using the Science B kit to learn about magnets. – Christi N, Mishawaka, IN
