Science Experiment Kits - what a great teaching tool!
Think science needs to be boring? How wrong you are. Even if you have a very limited budget for homeschool supplies you can enliven your homeschool science course in a number or ways. Science experiment kits are available at all grade levels, at many different price ranges and usually target a specific discipline such as biology, chemistry and even more narrow subjects such as magnetism, weather, insects, etc.
How to incorporate science experiment kits into your science curriculum
This is relatively easy to do. Choose what science subject you want to teach. This could be a broad science subject such as general science, biology or earth science, or you might choose to cover smaller subspecialties such as volcanoes and earthquakes, the solar system, etcetera. Then choose your textbook, cd-rom course, online biology course or simply library books on the subject - whatever you choose to use to make up the "core" of your teaching. Then, simply choose a related experiment kit or kits!
