My youngest daughter that she asked me to only do experiments instead of all the Sonlight worksheet.  I purchased a “365 Simple Science Experiments” book and gave her free access to the Science equipment box.  I included a stack of blank Science Observational notebook pages next to it and let her explore and experiment to hearts content.  Some days she did 5 experiments!
