I’ve homeschooled now for several years, and in that time I’ve found lots of great, good, and mediocre resources for teaching different subjects. Most I just use as a springboard to other ideas; a jumping off point<\/strong>. Some I use as a go-to anytime I need something hands-on to do with my kids.<\/p>\n

Steve Spangler Science is one of my go-tos.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Steve<\/p>\n

An author, teacher, toy-inventor, and science personality, Steve Spangler knows how to make science fun for kids<\/strong>. His blog features simple experiments, projects, and demonstrations that are easily done at home with readily-available materials. His books, like the one pictured above, are fun, and they engage kids right off the bat.<\/p>\n

Are you a bit science-phobic?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Steve Spangler store has science kits and supplies that make it easy for even the most reluctant homeschool mom to bring some hands-on fun into the school week<\/strong>. There are science toys and other great gift ideas organized by age, and easy-to-use examples of how to do the experiments he shares.<\/p>\n

What I love best about Steve Spangler, his inventions, books, and blog, is that he loves science and wants to inspire that love in kids everywhere<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Encouraging kids to wonder and explore their world is important if we are to bring up a generation of lifelong learners and thinkers<\/strong>. This guy gets that.<\/p>\n
