Here in NY we don’t often get as much sun as we would like which can make projects that require the sun a little tricky. Luckily for us this Solar Robot Kit by Edmund Scientifics will work not only in the sun but with a light bulb too! We were so excited to get this Solar…
I am thrilled to be providing this review and a tiny glimpse into how I am using the Galileoscope to teach Astronomy. My daughters are absolutely enamored with astronomy, and so they will be the best ones to give their feedback on this fun astronomy tool! “The telescope works really well and makes stargazing so…

When a box of Solar Science-goodness arrived on our doorstep on a Tuesday, thanks to Edmund Scientifics, my four young scientists eagerly opened it up and we were off.

If the subject of science goes anything like it does in our school, then it may be quite non-existent at this point. I have a few science curriculums that I am considering, but they require months of dedication for completion. I want to do science with my children, but I want to do fun experiments that…
I’ve had my eye on Noeo Homeschool Science for several years – ever since I first saw their advertisement in a magazine. I can’t begin to tell you how excited I was when they sent me Chemistry II: Atoms to Alloys and Beyond! in exchange for this review. 🙂 I began reading the Instructor’s Guide…
