Independent Science Class

I love independent learning. It's often the most effective way for a child to learn. I pulled this book off of the shelf and left it on the living room table the other day, without saying a word about it. Since then, it has almost always been in one or more children's hands. What a sneaky way to "teach" science!

I thought I had almost all of David Macaulay's books (just bought one from another homeschool mom on Friday, as a matter of fact). However, for this blog post I pulled up his Wiki and found that he has written many more than I have collected. I will certainly be keeping an eye out for "The Way We Work" among others. We love anatomy and I am positive that this book will be well worth finding.
