Here I am doing my first blogosphere giveaway! We'll see if anyone checks in or if I will just experience the sound of crickets. Enter BEFORE MARCH 7TH!!Do your kids like science? My son Christian, when he was 6½ years old informed us that he wanted a chemistry set for Christmas. I searched everywhere and found nothing that satisfied me. The kits I found were $20 and basically included experiments with vinegar and baking soda...period! We had been there and done all that. So I started researching on the internet. I found some great websites and some things from my old teaching files and compiled my own book. There are more than 25 activities from the vinegar and baking soda volcanoes, to crystal gardens, to electrical circuits. The experiments use materials you can find at your grocery store and craft store. There is even a supply list on the back so you can gather it all and put it in a box, making a kit to use for a gift.
This booklet is a great to combat the summer doldrums! Making my own science kit worked for me! Check out more on Works for me Wednesday over at We are THAT family.
Leave me a comment to enter to win a copy of this fun booklet.
**Using a highly scientific (or seemingly so to this techno challenged mind) process at http://random.org/sequences/ we have a winner. And the winner is....Fairion. I will contact you by email! Happy experimenting!
Anyone else who may still be interested in the booklet, you can leave me a comment and we can work something out for the cost of copying and postage.

I think Landon and Christian are a lot alike, Landon loves doing "art projects" as he calls them, and LOVES learning new things through experiments. I would love to be entered to win.
I know Rachel's no where near science experiment age, but I would still love something like this! I really hope I can teach my kids some cool things like you mentioned doing.
We homeschool so we're always looking for fun learning ideas! This looks great!

My son is a HUGE science kid. We'd love some new ideas! :)
I have a 6 1/2 year old son that happens to be crazy about anything science-related, too. He would love this. And if you're looking for another experiment book, check Barnes and Noble for "Pop Bottle Science"--the book comes inside a bottle with supplies. It was my son's favorite birthday gift.
We would love some new science ideas
We'd also love some new ideas. Please enter us.
My son enjoys science so much that I teach it at local coop. This sounds great!
Sounds great! We'd love some science ideas for our little homeschool preschool experiment.
