Do they do experiments? Like the 'physics for every kid' and 'chemistry for every kid' series of books? Or the library probably has them. DK has some amazing books on building boats, building motors, etc..that is science. Nature, cause and effect, chemical reactions, non-newtonian liquids, making Flubber.
I guess what I am saying, lol, is that you have to make a mess to get excited about science. 
The messier the better  . Out of the chaos often comes the MOST turned on students, and don't be afraid of the "wild" idea. Sometimes the experiments that DON"T work, turn students on more than those that work predictably. One of my students loved oysters for dinner. He freeze dried them, then extracted the minerals out of them, and finally determined that oysters grown suspended off the bay's bottom contained the nutrients. Yes, it was a messy and stinky experiment ... but the student got a scholarship from the oyster producer for his work and the lab report he generated was published. He went into college a published author, which really helped his academic standing.
Hope that helps.
Steve

Hi Everyone:
For those of you starting Apologia Biology this month, I provide the following link:
http://redwagontutorials.com/NotesB/BModule01-1w.htm
This is the link to my online class notes for my biology program. When you click on the you will begin the download of a 90-minute recorded class lecture. It will take about 30 seconds for the print to appear and notes to start playing. I hope this little offering helps you start your school year off with a bang. The recording really does explain the opening concepts of the textbook well. It is my gift to you.
Have fun this year learning about God's Creation.
God Bless,
Steve
