The whole TOPS series is such a great way to teach science. We have purchased way too many science kits -- but, to kids, it seems that the kits are doing the fun magic stuff -- and they seem to totally miss the scientific principles involved. No chance of this happening with TOPS. Instead of kits, you just use very common objects (masking tape, clothespins, etc.) The activity sheets are thorough and clear and each one usually takes 15-30 minutes to complete and write up. You'll be amazed how much your kids, and you too, will learn!
