A review from a Montessori homeschooling mom who likes to ramble at times ;)

Building Foundations of Scientific Understanding can be combined with Montessori very easily, especially if you are using AMI or keys-based albums. Volume 1 can begin at age 4 or so, easing into each following volume as the child is ready.

Each volume contains roughly 36 lessons to be covered over the course of 3 years - about 12 lessons a year. Great conversational set-up, with hands-on activities focusing on OBSERVABLE science.

4-H Curriculum

WIDE variety of subjects - would be great for short-term projects, longer-term projects, unit studies - explore areas of interest - without a large dollar outlay.

Celestial Almanack - Astronomy for Everyone

The Celestial Almanack has been a great resource for studying the night sky withOUT the use of any equipment besides one's own eyes (and a notebook, drawing pad and an open mind).

There is enough in every issue for the youngest crowd, while still providing new material for the oldest; and lots in between!

Back issues are currently deeply discounted. Each issue includes current events as well as what happens EVERY year at this time.

Please support this resource! It is written by a homeschooling dad who has a passion for astronomy. His main website can be found at Classical Astronomy.
