Science Program - Chemistry

We finished our American History program, and we did not go a lot of science and so the kids wanted to do science everyday! well ok we did not do it everyday but almost. 
I was able to get Real Science for kids on ebay for a great deal so I go that We did Chemistry, and I also got Physics and Biology. We have finished Chemistry, and we have done half of physics. I do like them, but I would not say they are "worth" the original price but if you can find them used they are wonderful. There are experiments for each chapter and that is really nice. Although there were a couple we skipped.
here we are making molecules out of marshmallows. (Yes I bought them for this only, and no my kids did not eat them, and yes they were ok with it.)

I have supplemented with other books too, my kids LOVE this book called Transformed it is a little outdated but still really fun to read. I even really like it. It tells how a lot of things are made reminds me of like what Mr. Rogers did on his show but in a book.
We also picked different elements to learn about- I got these two books Periodic Table - fun this is a cartoon type books as if each element is a character my kids love it.
This book is AWESOME! Elements
it has really examples and pictures of the elements and really awesome facts and history along with it. this book really is for older kids, and will be used for years here.
As we came along things in our science we would read more about them, scientist or elements or other things. We also watched some Bill Nye to go along with it. I wanted to share all those details but I do not have time to post all that now. Maybe someday but for now, this will have to do.
