April 11, 2016 3 min read

As homeschoolers, we have loads of options to teach science at home and tons of resources at our fingertips to show our students about the principles of science! This month, I wanted to share some of our favorites with you all.

This list is a huge one, so I am going to break it down into two categories - encyclopedias and living books. You can use this list as you create your own plans.
