Do I Need a Formal Science Program?

This year we went without a formal science program. My son was getting burned out on science and because he would be entering high school soon, I wanted to teach him how to do lab reports. This brought the joy back to science. I used forms found here. We checked out a bunch of books at the library on diffferent science topics.
He spent the school year performing and documenting the experiments that interested him. He then created a science notebook which included all his lab papers. This turned out to be an inspiring and low-cost, alternative to a textbook or formal scinece curriculum.
