Wow, it's been over a month since I've posted, but we've been busy getting school done this year (we finished up last week with OHVA. Everything is boxed up and ready to be shipped back, and we have our last conference of the year this afternoon.) I've been very lucky the past few weeks to get some books free, and I've been going through them and seeing what I'm going to use for next year. I think I have our science books down, so now I just have to plan what we're doing out of them. :-) All the books I have state that they are for kids over eight, but I think Dalton will understand them alright.
203 Icy, Freezing, Frosty, Cool, and Wild Experiments by Janice VanCleave
175 More Science Experiments to Amuse and Amaze Your Friends by Terry Cash, Steve Parker, and Barbara Taylor
Science Crafts for Kids by Gwen Diehn and Terry Krautwurst (this one looks like it might be a bit too advanced for Dalton, but I might be able to pull out one or two things from it.
I'm sure we'll pull science from other areas (Dalton loves watching Beakman's World), and I would like to use some of the nature studies from Shining Dawn Books since I fell in love with them when I saw them at the homeschool convention. I have a feeling science next year is going to be very hands-on (and FUN!).
Shell - Even if some of the topics are too advanced for Dalton, I would think you'd be able to study about the basic concepts in these books and simplify the activities if necessary. Good luck - these look like fun!
