Dollar Store Science has arrived!

The day is finally here everyone!

After many months of development we are proud to present Dollar Store Science.

This series of lessons brings a solid foundation of science understanding to you and your children. We split it into 4 separate mini-series consisting of 3 basic “lessons”.

For each mini-series we’ll send you a few emails that will point you back to SuperFunScience.com’s website. On those pages there will be a short lesson, an experiment and a quiz. A video accompanies the entire day so you can follow along with the lesson and the experiment.

All of these experiments will utilize materials you can either find at home or pick up at the discount store for a few dollars. That’s where the name “Dollar Store Science” comes from! You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars to get your children interested in learning science!

Each mini-series is on sale separately for $12.95US or you can purchase all four mini-series for $42.00US…

Except this week I want to offer everyone FIVE DOLLARS of the complete package. Simply enter the coupon code “A31369CFA2″ for five dollars off of the entire Dollar Store Science series.
