Portia, Thanks. I was wondering about the experiments. I just buy all the materials and we do the book experiments together. This one(Chemistry and Physics) is the first one we are using and she really likes them. She uses the notebook that comes with it to write about all the experiments. Our experiments usually end up with a multitude of offshoot experiments of her own. I like your ideas on the botany etc. and the pea experiment because right now she only wants to learn about chemistry and physics because she likes those types of experiments. I will have to try to find a way to make the life sciences interesting to her in the future. She wants to do something and see something happen.
