How Did We Like it? | Sonlight Science K REVIEW | FAQs about this Homeschool Science Curriculum

Ahh yes! I’m so sad I deliberated on bookshark level a science for so long because we’re a few weeks in and love it! We do it family style with my K and 3.5 year old twins. We do a full week in one sitting, just read through the pages for the week & then answer the questions out loud without writing on the worksheets. Then move on to the experiment! We’re only a few weeks in so maybe this isn’t doable in the long term, but for now it’s fun to do our big science day. We’re huge science nerds so we’re literally reading science books or watching science tv shows/documentaries etc everyday of the week.

Excellent review, thanks!-m

Thank you! Im doing this with my 1st grader next year!

We’re trying out Sonlight science this year! I enjoyed your review—thanks!

Thanks for sharing!

We are doing sonlight science A this year, and my boys have been liking it. They especially love the Usborn science encyclopedia book with the QR code links. They love watching the videos that go along with the reading.

We love Sonlight Science too, B has been great. Looking forward to C!

I have older kids in sonlight science but they do it independently and I’m thinking of doing it with my 6 and 7 year olds!!! I love the idea of books asking questions and answering questions!!! I love to expand with documentaries!!! I wanted to wait for my kindergartener to be ready for extra schooling and now she’s 1st grade and her sister is with us she’s wanting more school and science!!!

We’re doing Sonlight science next year. Thank you for your review! Very helpful. We are excited!

Omg, this is so helpful and perfect timing!! I’ve been researching Bookshark science for my kids!! Bookshark is the exact same, just secular. So I’m planning to combine my two younger boys who are currently 5yo and 7.5yo, but they would be 6 and 8 when we start. Would you think Level K would be too easy for a 7/8yo? Or would you think the next level up? Level K just looks so fun and I have a little FOMO about missing it… but I don’t want it to be too simple! Any thoughts? Will you be using it next year? Thanks for your insight- I so appreciate it!! ❤

Hey Rachel! Thank you for the information. We’ve been considering adding this for our K-5 year. Did you work through this after your boys completed Gentle Classical Nature Vol. 2 or simultaneously?

Sigh... science has been a struggle for me thus far. My kids are a gifted 8 year old girl, an on-track 5 year old boy, a busy 3 year old girl and a chill 1 year old girl. I would love to do a combined family science. (we've done apologia which was excellent for my 8 year old and went way over my 5 year old's head). I've tried a year of good and beautiful which was way too much cutting and prep work with tiny little ones. At this point i bought my 8 year old her own level 4 science book from abeka and am just doing the level 1 abeka science with my 3 and 5 year old. It's fine but there aren't any fun experiments. But also half the time my 8 year old's book suggests an experiement, I don't have all the stuff! How does a mom with many many children do this?!
