...that are cheap and easy. I am tight on money like many of us. I have been looking at two things (noeo's science curriculum, and also realscience4kids) and had to pick my jaw off the floor when I saw the price! While they are nice resources and I like the book links, supplies, etc., as an unschooler I would not use them in a way that would justify the expense (ie-strictly following the subjects each week, lapbooking, etc)
Anyone know something simular that is cheaper, and I wouldn't have to strictly follow it? I am looking at curriculum as far as ideas in tying a "scientific method" or global way of thinking or tying everything together in all the science that comes through our lives...we check out the human body, weather, etc etc but it feels fragmented. Again I wouldn't do a curriculum back to back, just as a resource for me. Something that links to websites or has book suggestions would be great!
O and I am also looking at magazine subscriptions and those usual things too! (like Yes, Know, Kids Discover, etc)

. These are fairly structured with a book + kit that leads the student through an experiential learning approach. They have kits aimed at many different ages and even the most expensive chemistry kit (which I used with my high school students - Chem C3000) can last for at least two years.
