But after looking and remembering how hard science was to do from a text book, I took the plunge. He will be trying it out for the first time with my husband tomorrow. I think they will both get hooked! I'm hoping! Our homeschool situation is unique. My husband is home full time, I work full time, and my younger son goes to public school. My sister assists with homeschooling and so do my parents who are both retired teachers and on top of that he receives tutoring in math, language arts as well. It really does take a village. so I can now just add Supercharged Science as another helper in teaching my son all he needs to know. And I think this, he will at least have fun with!

It has opened the doors to understanding with all your hands on experiments. 2 of my younger children are special learners and visual and hands on is right up their alley!! It seems like an incredible program like this would open so many doors for (my 14yo). We have so very much enjoyed your summer ecamp.

Thanks again for designing a product that so aptly meets the needs of a homeschool environment.

We had lots of fun with the hovercraft experiment earlier this week. The children decorated the CD's with markers before constructing their hovercrafts, and our youngest had a blast with hers bubbling away in a bowl of water. (Kept the 3 year old amused for a good hour or so!) My 11 year old son & I perused your site and watched a few videos. You're so inspiring! We're all ready to go! I've downloaded the "Mechanics" Unit pdf's, put them in a ring binder, and browsed the local shops for supplies...Tomorrow we officially begin Supercharged Science! It's getting late here, and I'd best get to bed so that I don't miss out on any of the fun tomorrow! Thanks again for giving us the opportunity to join e-Science.

We just wrapped up "force". My boys 6 and 9 LOVED it. I did too. It was fun and engaging. They did amazing on their assessment and retained so much, but more than that they were excited to share what they learned! Awesome. First let me just say thanks for the fun week of science we had.

And actually, those are the only two that require a microwave out of over 600 experiments. I included them in the getting started section as they had very minimal materials and a big "Wow!" factor for families wanting to see what the experiments were really like. There's a free experiment here in the samples: <a href="http://www.sciencelearningspace.com/2010/02/disappearing-beaker/" rel="nofollow">Disappearing Beaker</a>, which is much more typical of the experiments included in the <a href="http://www.sciencelearningspace.com/" rel="nofollow">eScience</a> and <a href="http://www.superchargedscience.com/mastery.htm" rel="nofollow">Science Mastery</a> programs. Does that help? Great question! And actually, those are the only two that require a microwave out of over 600 experiments.

I think it looks great! I clicked to view the free experiments, viewed the introductory video (which was great) and then looked at the necessary materials for the three experiments (Plasma, Grape, Microwaving Soap, and another). Two of the three used microwaves. We don't have a microwave, and I don't expect we ever will. What percentage of your experiments--particularly those having to do with chemistry--require use of a microwave? I just learned about Supercharged Science. I think it looks great!
