As previously mentioned, I think I've settled upon our science theme for the year (stretching into next year) -- The History of Science & Medicine. Here's how I envision it working...To begin, we'll be using The Story of Science: Aristotle Leads the Way by Joy Hakim (followed by The Story of Science: Newton at the Center) and Beautiful Feet's A History of Science Study Guide. I'll also be supplementing with many living books,* including:

• Ancient Science
  
• Archimedes and the Door of Science
• Pasteur's Fight Against Microbes
• The Story of Thomas Alva Edison
  
• Albert Einstein: Young Thinker
  
• Marie Curie's Search for Radium
• Starry Messenger: Galileo Galilei
  
• Along Came Galileo
• Leonardo Da Vinci (Giants of Science)
  
• Isaac Newton (Giants of Science)
• Sigmund Freud (Giants of Science)
• Marie Curie (Giants of Science)
• A Piece of the Mountain: The Story of Blaise Pascal
• The Ocean of Truth: The Story of Sir Isaac Newton
  
• Gregor Mendel: The Friar Who Grew Peas
• The Tree of Life: Darwin
  
• The Picture History of Great Inventors
• Great Lives: Invention and Technology
