To find great manipulatives or science kits, I recommend Home Science Tools. This company provides science supplies, articles, experiment ideas, science kits, microscopes, homeschool curriculum, and everything else you need to make science a hands-on, multisensory adventure. We use this company for our hands-on science supplies and have found their prices very reasonable. Because they cater specifically to homeschool families, they provide materials in quantities that consistently meet our needs.

Delta Education is another provider of materials for individuals, as well as large, expensive classroom kits. Delta provides manipulatives for Math and Science. They also provide visually rich books about scientific topics at different grade levels. If you look closely, you should be able to find the single set of materials, a single copy of the book, and a single copy of the exploratory CD-Rom for most products.

For academic software, Journeyed.com or AcademicSuperstore.com are great places to look at a wide variety of current software specifically geared towards the education market. You can get Science, History, and other Non-Fiction Audio books for Download at Audible.com. Or you can Listen to unlimited Audio books - Free Trial at Jiggerbug to see what their selection is like.
