Big Book of Fun

My son and I are having great fun with this book. We found scores of fun activities that helped him to understand many basic scientific concepts. I learned a few things myself.

Good for a beginning homeschooler for science

This book has very many things to do for science, but we have been homeschooling for 10 years, so there was nothing new in it for us! If you are new to teaching or homeschooling this may be just what you need though. It is very nicely laid out and easy to understand.
