DVDs & Videos
- Great content on a variety of
science topics. For visual learners, in particular, this video series
helps explain modern scientific exploration and concepts. The detailed,
step-by-step process of exploration helps make concepts understandable
and the colorful videography engages even "reluctant"
learners. This series is particularly wonderful for middle to high
school aged children, although even at an upper elementary age our
children were able to gain a lot of concept knowledge from the series.
Apologia Science - High school science curriculum especially designed for homeschooled students. The courses are written by a former university professor, are readable, easy to understand, and have experiments which can be performed at home. The curriculum is backed by a question/answer support system. This is the Science curriculum we are currently using and we really like it. Apologia also provides Audio CDs of their textbooks for children with Learning Disabilities. They are a VERY supportive company and I can't recommend them highly enough!
Home Science Tools - Science supplies, articles and experiment ideas! Find curriculum, home science kits, microscopes, and everything else you need to make science exciting. Just about ANYthing you could want, this company has! We love them!
ThinkWell - Online multimedia courses with teaching CD-Roms. These courses are used in universities across the USA and are excellent for anyone seeking a college preparatory curriculum. Courses require an online "access key", so you'll want to be certain you use the order option indicating your are taking the course independently from a university if you are ordering for your homeschooled child.
