The foundation of freedom

Children are often taught that government protects our life, liberty, and property, but could it be true that some laws actually allow people to hurt us and take our things? Join Ethan and Emily Tuttle as they learn about property, pirates, and plunder!

High School/Adult Reading: The Law by Frederic Bastiat

High School/Adult Reading: Economics in One Lesson by Henry Hazlitt

Science in a Box: Montessori Lectures

Science Kit at Montessori Lecture

Materials consist of user guide and science cards only. Boxes and content not included 

Science In A Box

• Science in a Box consists of individual cards, each with a basic science experiment, which may be used in a non-consecutive order. The activities of Science in a Box provide an active, problem-solving approach to the study of science. They introduce the children to scientific concepts including the properties of air and water, electricity, magnetism, light, sound, force and motion, and simple chemistry experiments. This material provides ease for teachers and parents without the difficutly of long term preparation, since items need only to be gathered at the time of initial set-up. The activities are very easy to follow and the 'hands-on approach' of each activity promotes an interest in science.
•  
• Each card has a list of materials needed, simple steps to follow, and questions asking about each activity. The back of each card answers the questions and explains the experiment.
•  
• Most activities can be done by children ages 3-6 years with minimal guidance. Older students, who read well, can be expected to do most of the experiments independently. The user guide contains a glossary with simple explanations of terms which can be used by adults to explain experiments to younger children, or used independently by the older student.
•  
• A list of materials required for the science experiments is provided. These consist of common items which easily can be obtained and stored in a large crate. A few items which need to be replenished on a regular basis are typically stored in a small box separately. It is convenient to store the experiment cards in a large index card box. Adults may set out a specific experiment, introduce the procedure, and then have the activity available for use of the younger child. Older students may choose a card and gather on a tray the materials needed to perform the experiment independently.
•  
• • Set consists of over 85 Science Activities
  • Science in a Box $40.00
  • Shipping within USA: $15.00
  • Additional shipping charges for other countries than USA

Not actually rubber - they're polymer and will last much longer than rubber -

Montessori Elementary Economic Geography Stamps - corresponding with the Keys of the Universe Montessori Elementary Geography Album chapter on Economic Geography.

Each polymer (not rubber, but like rubber) stamp image measures 3/4 inch at its widest; mounted on a 1 inch square cube - with the image imprinted on the top of each cube for easy reference.

Select which set you would like: the core set contains 26 images of mineral, plant and animal resources; the supplementary set contains 14 additional images in more specific items.

Each corresponding tackle-box comes with a cardstock print-out of the included images for that set.

CONTENTS CORRESPOND WITH AMI MONTESSORI ELEMENTARY TRAINING ALBUMS. And are most specifically designed for Keys of the Universe albums.

Purchase your own ink pads according to the color designations of your choice (see the elementary Montessori geography album for further details).

Science: Home Science Tools

Home Science Tools offers a Montessori kit for those using AMI Montessori Elementary albums: Home Science Tools

It contains almost all the science supplies you need for the geography and biology albums - for 10% lower than purchasing the items individually (use an additional 10% coupon and the kit is even cheaper!

(I do not make any money when you purchase that kit - it is simply something I set up to make the obtaining of the needed materials easier for those who are using AMI elementary Montessori albums)

UPDATE!
This Kit is now discontinued - so many people went to the site, bought the individual items and not the kit (despite the 10% discount) - so there were not enough sales on the kit itself for HST to continue offering it.

However, HST still carries almost all of the items you need to do all the science and biology work from the AMI Montessori Elementary albums - please see information in those albums for what is available and what is not (there are two items you cannot get there - one is magnesium sulfate (Epsom salts - look in the pharmacy area of your local grocery store) ---- the other is a fertilizer ingredient - look at gardening stores!)).

4-H Curriculum

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.
