i've been using only living books for homeschooling this year. our library seems to have lots of fresh new releases.


one book, which i picked up is "amazing science discoveries CHEMISTRY." (sorry, blogger isn't letting me add a picture of the cover.) but.. ispn is 9781596042018



we're just taking a couple of pages a day.. diving into the topic and either making little posters or doing a suggested experiment. this week, we learned how powerful our stomach acids are... so strong they can burn through a rock. we made toffee out of sugar and learned to six elements of our body.

some of the living books which i've picked up are of a secular point of view. that's okay with us... it's a good time to implement the literary point of "hyperbole." and discuss our point of view.
