As a Christmas gift to homeschoolers, I linked to my five favorite free stuff for homeschooler sites. These resources are great for homeschoolers and others who want an educational boost as well.
If you know of any free sites that are useful to homeschoolers, please feel free to ad a link to them too. I am looking for websites that offer free posters, cd's games, worksheets, and other things that might be useful to homeschoolers. I am not looking for websites that compile lists we have to comb through.
Thanks in advance.

Today I discovered Sciencenewsforkids.org. Science News For Kids "is a new Web site devoted to science news for children of ages 9 to 14." The goal of the developers is to offer science information to kids in a news format and to get them talking about it. Read more:

Hi, Andrea and all --

Here's another free science resource that we like, mostly for younger kids:

http://www.krampf.com/news.html

It's Robert Krampf's "Experiment of the Week." If you sign up for his email list, he'll send an easy experiment each week. They're always very doable, done with stuff you have around the house.

per email from local homeschooling group: "Choose a character already drawn for you, choose the character's mood, add talk or thought balloons, etc. Story ideas are provided. Print out and color or email the cartoons when finished. This is a great teaching tool!"
