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!).

Cathy Duffy's Top 100 Logo 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!
