Stratton House Home Science Adventures
Hands-on science learning kits help make science fun to learn.
Mini-Review by Harriet Yoder
Yes, you can do all this yourself. Purchase stuff from twenty
different stores, prepare lessons from scratch, and reinvent the wheel.
What busy homeschooling parent has the time to do all that for every subject?
This is a cost effective way to have hands-on science activities without
spending your precious time running your children all over town while you visit
stores and scour the library for science ideas (and probably visit the copy
machine while you're at it!).
Designed
with homeschooling in mind, the Home Science Adventure Kits are multilevel for
grades 1-8. There is little or no lesson prep time and all the equipment
is in the box! Each Stratton House Science Learning kit comes with a
parent guide, a set of reproducible lessons, and all the equipment needed for
two children, working together, to do the lessons (except as noted below).
They are recommended for grades 3 through 8. First and second graders will
also enjoy them with help from parents or older siblings. Best of all,
these kits were developed by a real homeschooling family, the Strattons!
**The Triple Sets are the best buys.
03/05 Stratton House Home Science Adventures were chosen by homeschool
expert and author Cathy Duffy in the science category as one of her 100 Top
Picks for Homeschool Curriculum!
