Brenda Says:
This was a very difficult review to do. I have been avoiding it, but I just need to say what I think.
When I was originally asked about reviewing this book, I didn’t know much about it. The title held a lot of promise and I thought it would be a wonderful book to read and implement in my life. We have all been there when we just want to ask God, “Now What???” I thought this would be a book about faith and discovering how to accept and find God’s plan for your life. I couldn’t have been more wrong.
This book is New Age philosophy with a little bit of scripture thrown in. It is literally the philosophies of men mingled with scripture. In our home, we refer to this as Rameumpton. In fact, when I handed the book to my husband, he read a little of it and then proclaimed it to be exactly that. To say that the mutterings and chants that the book says you need to do made me uncomfortable would be an understatement.
I cannot in good conscience recommend this book. I would recommend that you step away from it and turn to the actual word of God found in His scriptures. Jesus tells us that He is the Way, the truth and the Life, and that no man can come unto the Father but by and through Him. That is the only way. Books that are the philosophies of men, mingled with scripture are NOT the way.

This collection of fun science lessons and activities are designed to offer hands on experiments that will satisfy the curious nature of children, while making it easier for parents to teach science.
–Kathy Davis of HomeschoolBuzz.comIf you’re looking for a science unit study homeschool program that is easy to use and is comprehensive and worth using, then you should check out “Science Unit Studies for Homeschoolers and Teachers.” I recently read through the book and really liked what I saw.

About the Author:
Susan Kilbride is a homeschooling mother with a degree in biology. A few years ago she noticed that many homeschooling parents are either uncomfortable teaching their children science, or just don’t have the time to do the necessary research to teach their children science. Susan wrote this book with these parents in mind, using the same methods that she used when teaching her own son.
Brenda Says:
I was impressed that each lesson begins with a list of all of the materials you will need for that unit. The items are things that you will most likely already have around your house or will be able to obtain easily. Next, the unit is broken down into different parts. You can easily spend a longer period doing each of the parts in one day, or you can spread the unit over several days. Each part has material that you are to present to your students. It is very simple to use your own words to teach the material. Then the material is reinforced with activities. The activities are meant to help the kids learn and see in action, what you have taught to them. They will be having such a great time, that it really won’t seem like school. It will just seem like you are the coolest parent ever. Another thing that I absolutely loved, was the use of literature to reinforce the lesson material. Children love stories, and using good literature to help them learn scientific concepts is a winner in my book.
I found that the lessons engage all of the learning methods. For the kinesthetic learner, children become engaged in these lessons through hands-on activities. For the visual learner, there are many things to see, including video suggestions to reinforce lesson concepts. Auditory learners will excel as they take in all of the lessons and the conversations that unfold during them. The lessons are very flexible. You will find that these lessons can easily be adapted for a Co-op class, a large family, or even an only child.
One of the things I really liked about these lessons, is that you can use them as stand alone units of study, or as wonderful supplements to what you are already using for science. We added in the Force and Motion and Simple Machines units into our Physics studies. Chandler really enjoyed adding in extra activities and the lessons helped him clarify the materials he was learning at the time. The Chemistry lesson was also a fun addition to our studies.
Science Unit Studies for Homeschoolers and Teachers is also very affordable. The book is valued at $16.95, but you can purchase the book for only $11.55 on Amazon. This is a resource that I wish had been available when Chandler was in Kindergarten. We would have used it for science all throughout our school years.
The author has a gift for you! You can download these two lessons for free and try it out for yourself before you buy the book. You will also get a sneak peek at the table of contents! Here are the lessons:
I am confident you will want this resource on your shelf. It is just one of those resources that I can’t imagine will not be a much loved addition to any homeschool.
