Backyard Scientist?
Anyone use this? Is it a curriculum or just books with experiments? I've seen it several places, but my library doesn't have it and I'd love to know what it's like. TIA!

Its not a curriculum. Its a science experiment book geared towards items in or around the house. They are good books. Read her website, she gives tons of information.

I know that it is kits....but was curious if anyone has ever used this as their science curriculum.

I really like the looks of it, and I think that my DD5 and DS7 would enjoy it.

Thanks for the info, Becca. I looked at their website, but couldn't find very much info other than an age range. I wanted to see an example experiment or something. Are the experiments arranged topically? What sort of topics are covered?

TIA!
