A home school science kit comes in really handy for those of us that are not creative or terribly gifted in coming up with science experiments. Kits are an easy way to get all the supplies and instructions you need all in one place.

Let's face it, kids learn more by using more of their senses anyways. My children learned a lot more from doing experiments and touching science related materials than they learned from a book. Textbooks can be dry and boring, but working with actual objects can really spark an interest in science. The great scientists became interested in science because they liked to experiment. Once they saw what happened, THEN they started reading and searching textbooks for why their experiments worked or didn't work.
