Q. How hands-on is this curriculum? Do I need a lot of supplies?

A. The level of hands-on work varies by book. The Chemistry & Ecology course includes frequent experiments, nearly one per lesson, while other books are more moderate. Most experiments use common household items. Convenient science supply kits are available for every book in the series if you prefer to have supplies pre-assembled. Families short on time can skip or reduce experiments without losing the core content.
