I am thinking about doing experiments this summer, when we can do more stuff outside. I'll look at Supercharged Science. Thanks, Shari. smile

ROFL - I'm the laziest homeschooler ever because I just wanted to plunk DS at the computer a couple times a week and for him to work through Plato, but he's just not buying it! I wish he would at least tolerate it! I'm all about no prep/no mess. It would probably work if I'd work through it with him, but then I'd just rather have a text book and sit on the couch.

I'm thinking of some messier stuff for summer too. We are doing a big garden this year that the kids are going to have partial control over. We have some fun books - like Backyard Ballistics and Totally Irresponsible Science that are great for backyard fun. DH and DS did build a catapult recently
