What kind of science materials do your homeschoolers use? Do you wish you could find free or inexpensive science tools for your homeschool?
Looking around my home, I’m often surprised by how many items we can use as learning materials. I like to “shop my home” first before I purchase science lab supplies from educational stores.

Not too long ago, I published a similar list of math materials and manipulatives, and someone asked me a very good question.
I store most of my materials in file/banker’s boxes. I have one homeschool supply box for each subject except math and science (with those subjects, I have two boxes because I have so many materials)! I label the boxes and store them on a shelf in our basement. I take the materials out of the boxes as I need them.
I’ve been meaning to draft up a “supply list” to store on the outside of each box, but haven’t gotten around to it yet. Maybe I’ll do that project during our next homeschool break.
We have a small home, so I must be intentional with storing our homeschool supplies. If you’re interested, I have several other organization tips in my post, How to Organize a Small Homeschool Space.
