We love our Sonlight Science. It is my son's favourite subject, so we mostly leave it until the afternoon, after he has done reading, math etc, which he's not as fond of! He still enjoys those subjects, but he's not passionate about them, as he is with messing around with things and trying out experiments.

We spent a good hour today playing with magnets. He has been learning about the pull of the sun and moon on the ocean tides in his science, and then he had to work out which of his set of magnets was the strongest.

After doing that he made a little 'dog' magnet with a little red magnet 'tail' and had fun under the table moving it all around, and 'wagging' the 'tail'.

Meanwhile, after Hugh had watched the mad scientist on the Sonlight DVD demonstrating the experiment, Meredith asked to keep watching it! My kids love it, and it's an instruction DVD!
