Learn about the three main types of volcanoes with this engaging science lesson featuring free printables, a PowerPoint presentation, reading comprehension activities, and hands-on learning! Students will explore shield, composite (stratovolcano), and cinder cone volcanoes while learning how their shapes, characteristics, and eruptions differ. This lesson is the second part of our FREE Volcano Unit Study. In the first lesson, What Is a Volcano?, students discover what volcanoes are, how they form, and the different parts of a volcano. The Types of Volcanoes lesson includes a student-friendly science slideshow, a printable volcano comparison table, a video suggestion, and a hands-on volcano activity. Whether you’re teaching in a classroom or homeschooling, these free resources allow you to choose the activities that work best for your students.

ABC Gospel Worksheets
I have wanted to make these ABC Gospel Printables for a long time. Many of you already know how easy it is to share the gospel using this method. Sharing the gospel can seem intimidating, especially when sharing it with our peers or older people. The great thing about sharing the gospel with young hearts is that they aren’t usually cynical or combative. Be sure to check out all of our Bible resources here.

Multi-Stage Rocket Lab: Film Canister Lab
Have you ever wondered how rockets travel all the way into space? In this lab, you will explore the science behind multi-stage rockets by building your very own film canister rocket! Multi-stage rockets, like the Saturn V and the Space Shuttle, use separate parts that drop off along the way to make the rocket lighter and help it travel farther. In this lab, you will experiment with the power of chemical reactions to launch a small rocket. Extend the learning with an informational article about multi-stage rockets. Explore Multi-Stage Rockets, Saturn V, the Space Shuttle and more!

Starburst Rock Cycle Lab Sheets
Our Starburst Rock Cycle Lab Sheets are ideal for teachers of large classrooms and for the homeschool mom who is teaching their own. It wasn’t until several years ago did I even try the Starburst Rock Cycle lab, but at that time I wasn’t needing lab sheets. Fast forward some years and I needed lab sheets to accompany this fun and sweet activity for a class. One thing I really enjoy about teaching a class (big or small) is that I get to see firsthand how the worksheet or activity works and can then make adjustments if necessary. It’s like a recipe, you try it and then make tweaks to perfect it. That is what I did with these lab sheets.
Letters and Sounds
Letters and sounds… simple, right? Well, for all of you parents out there who already feel overwhelmed with everything preschool, just remember, keep it simple. Have a goal in your mind for what you want your child to learn by the end of the year (or even the end of the month!) and then start taking steps to accomplish it. You do not need to do every alphabet activity, just pick a few and stick with them. There are plenty of Letters and Sounds Printables & Activities right here to get you started!
Types of Landforms Mini Project
Sometime in elementary school, students learn the different types of landforms and then again during their middle school years. I am starting to teach a 6th grade Earth Science course this year using the Apologia Earth Science textbook. There is a section outlining landforms.This is the text that we used for this activity book. However, there are several free resources that you can use to gather information for your Types of Landforms Project.

Hi! My name is Marie. I am a Christian wife and mother to six children. I used to work in the public school system as a middle school science teacher. Honestly, I never thought that I would homeschool my children. Little did I know what God had planned! The Homeschool Daily is where I post slideshows, activities, tips, and ideas! I hope you find encouragement and teaching resources while you are here! Look around and stay awhile!
