A LIST OF COOL SCIENCE SITES

For Teachers, Caregivers, Homeschoolers And Kids!

By Teresa Bondora

Welcome to my personal collection of science sites I have hoarded over the past years of homeschooling. I have not weeded them out based on religious beliefs, political agenda or level of schooling. I leave them here for you to decide whats best for you and your family. Many of these sites offer free materials and labs and activities for the kids. Over time some of the links may die off. So just keep clicking. My site is first and I hope you come and collect your free items. If you find they are worthy, I hope you choose to purchase something to help keep me working. Please send this pdf as an attachment to your homeschool and teacher and caregiver friends. They too may enjoy what lies inside. I wish you days of fun and increase and joy and love.
