I am, once again, debating a packaged curriculum for the boys, at least for gavin.... it sounds like a nice idea, but it cost so much and I know I can do it for less money (just MORE TIME)

I found this site.It is full of sciene experiments and activities....

see... I don't need no stinkin' packaged curriculum.....

SCIENE CONNECTION PAGE

From the fron page:
These lesson plans were developed by Science Connectors or modified by Science Connectors from existing activities. These activities cover a range of grade levels, but most of them may be easily modified to fit individual classroom use. We welcome anyone to print them and use them in their classrooms.

I found a few sites on teaching scientific notation and it's uses (something I decided I wanted the boys to understand) and I have downloaded some Dioramama Projects (something I have always wanted to do, but never got to...) and I have that cool Enchanted Learning Membership......
