Milestones in Science - Experiment Manual Sample Pages (PDF)

Significant Experimentss and Discoveries
We do our older children a disservice when we instruct them in science apart from its historical significance. While we may disagree with a particular scientist's conclusion, we don't change history by pretending it never happened. If you have a child who dreads history because it is so reading intense, Milestones in Science will give him the history he needs in a format he'll love; an investigation of history in a tangible, hands-on format.

100 Experiments
After a brief account about each scientist and his times, your child can explore firsthand what he did and how he did it. He will conduct 100 experiments with the more-than 90 pieces included. Beyond the 100 experiments, this wide-ranging kit covers the accomplishments of over 40 additional scientists and civilizations.

Fascinating Historical Information
In addition to instructions for the experiments, fascinating historical information is included in the 96-page manual. The nine chapters include: Light, Colors, and Sound; Heat, Steam, and Engines; Magnetism and Electricity; Communication and Microelectronics; Forces; Life; Atoms and Molecules; Stars and Planets; and the Periodic Table. For ages 10 and up.
