This is a fairly standard and useful book. We use it and will continue to do so. Some of the experiments require that you think ahead and procure things, others you can do on the spur of the moment. I find it useful to have a science experiment book on hand, and this is a fine one to use. VanCleave also has more experiment books, science fair books, a book about scientists, and some home school resources, as well as a “For All Kids” series, with hands-on fun related to various subjects, from geometry and geography to oceans and nutrition. These would be worth exploring, especially if your homeschooler is kinesthetic.
