This week’s assignment is to share something new that we are using in our homeschool this year. I just shared a few days ago about Apologia’s Exploring Creation with Botany. It is new to us this year, and we are loving it. We have never used a science textbook that we liked. We have tried several over the years but put them to the side quickly because they were either dry and boring or wreaked of evolution. NOT APOLOGIA! Jeannie Fulbright has done as awesome job on these books, writing in an engaging way to interest both the student and the parent.
You can read my post from a few days ago about our first experiment from the book here. I must share a tip that another homeschool mom shared with me. It has saved us much time and frustration. Creation Sensation sells kits to help with the experiments in the book. No more searching at the last minute for a rubber band or finding out at the last minute there are no paper plates in the house. They sell a priority kit, which has the basics that wouldn’t commonly be found in your home. And then there is the deluxe kit which has everything down to the paper clip or rubber band.

I wish someone had gave me that advice when we first did experiments like that! Not fun trying to track down stuff last mintute
I love the Young Explorers series! So fun and the kids like it too. 😉
I love Apologia too, but wished it was available when my younger boys were in elementary. *sigh* We used the Biology and the Chemistry. Very impressed!
This is the second time I’ve seen this product reviewed…must be good! We are doing more experiments this year, too, and my boys just love it. Have a blessed week.
We need to fit in more experiments. That’s one thing we haven’t done much of around here! Thanks for the recommendation!
