I think Science is one of those things that children love to learn.  They pick it up from everywhere and love the computer links and TV specials about science.  Here are some of our favorite science books and materials.  
Zoobooks
We love the pictures and content of Zoobook but some get too politically correct and humanistic in content.  I have to review and talk to the children about them.

Using The Book of Mormon To Combat Falsehoods in Organic Evolution by Clark A. Peterson
 
Prior to 1830 science and religion were in agreement.  This book is very enlightening and could be used at a high school level.
I don't know where I got this book but it's personally signed by Brother Peterson!  This book is distributed by Cedar Fort, Incorporated, 925 North Main, Springville, UT  84663, 801-489-4084  
A Child's First Library of Learning by Time Life Books
These hardbook full color books are wonderful for elementary school students.  Available from: Time Life Books 1-800-621-7026
Life Science Labs Kit

My chidlren really like the activities in this book.  This book can be used from K-12 depending on how in depth one wishes to learn.  
The sad thing is I think A Beka books are beautiful and have a great content.  Unfortunately, my children think they are too "teachery".  In other words they think they are preachy and too schoolish.  A home schooling family we know in CA had trouble with A Beka being anti-mormon. We do use the following flashcards though.
Flower Flashcards (9 X 6) full color drawings and info
Birds of North America Flashcards (full color 81/2 X 11 drawings with facts)
Insects Teaching Cards (9X6) full color drawings and info

How and Why God Created Series... I haven't tried these books yet but this is my project for this year.  I like the content and that it's Christian based.  Let me know if you use this, I'd love to hear your comments.
BOB JONES University Press
We use these science books and lab kits for high school.  The student has to have lab credits for a good university.  Find out the admission requirements for your University or College choice.  We especially like the biology lab disection kit and materials.  We did have to razor blade a few anti-mormon pages in the science book.
