Science is Fun

A perfect complement to the boys' current favorite science book, The Periodic Table: Elements with Style!

Check out the other science videos from They Might Be Giants!

Ohio12~ We are using the Christian Kids Explore series. We went through the Earth and Space book last year, and really liked it. I talked about the series at this link: http://mthopeacademy.blogspot.com/2010/04/science-time-for-chemistry.html

For me, it is a very complete (and *easy* to use) program in one book. It is like Story of the World with Activity Guide, but for science with a Christian perspective. It has narrative-style lessons, worksheets, activities and projects, book (and DVD) lists for additional reading, vocab lists, and more. I don't have specific favorite projects or books that we used for Earth and Space. It was mostly what I had on hand or what we could get at the library. We watched *a lot* of Bill Nye DVDs. We visited a couple science museums. We read books. We didn't do too many activities...

Luke~ We've been enjoying their other videos at YouTube. :)
