Sonlight^® Ultra Microscope Videos

The Sonlight^® Ultra microscope makes using a microscope a pleasure instead of a frustration. How? We've included extra options that make using our microscope an enjoying, educating experience while saving you from common frustrating situations you typically expect when using lower quality microscopes. Furthermore, we don't charge you extra for the options. They're all included in our standard, unbeatably low price!

If you're going to invest in a microscope, make sure it's one that your student enjoys using!

"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.

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.

"Sonlight's science kits have been a lifesaver in providing the equipment necessary to turn our kitchen into a science lab!" writes Tara D of Middletown, DE. "We love the flexibility of being able to work through Apologia Biology at home, handling experiments as they come up in each module's reading."

Here, Molly (15) examines a slide under the microscope for her biology course. She's been Sonlighting for 11 of her 12 years homeschooling.
