SCIENCE UNITS & RESOURCES
I love exploring God’s world and His creation. What is there not to find fascinating? From the stars in the sky to the smallest particle of matter, the atom… God’s creation is awesome! Kids, young and old, find topics in science inspiring and thought-provoking. If you are teaching multiple children, science is an accessible subject to teach as a group. For years, I have been using these free science units to teach my children around the kitchen table. I especially do this during the summer months or just to break up the normal science curriculum. Take a moment to look around and see if these FREE SCIENCE UNITS could work for you and yours. We would love for you to check out our whole line up of Homeschool Science Curriculum! Many of you will want our Science Experiments, Labs, and STEM. Don’t forget about your younger crew, stop by the Elementary Science Units page!

The Snowflake Science Day just happened. It wasn’t planned. There was no researching or reading about such a topic weeks or even the night before. It was the rabbit hole we started down and through every twist and turn, it evolved into Snowflake Science Day. I am not typically the kind of person that does something new on a whim.

Food for thought...
Looking for a more permanent science curriculum? Even though we pursue various science units that encompass labs and such, we also use a science textbook each year. Some might say that our science units supplement our textbook, while others would say the opposite to be true. The labs, experiments, graphic organizers, videos, and other activities bring the textbook information to life.
We use Abeka Science textbooks. I love that they incorporate God and His sovereignty into their curriculum. When I taught in the public school system, I noticed that many of my students were lacking in vocabulary. This made it difficult for them to understand the why behind many of our investigations. Unfortunately, they were deficient in their background knowledge. Our science time would be lacking too if it weren’t for the rich vocabulary and science language that we find in our science textbook and readers. If you are interested in shopping for a full-time science curriculum or even just a textbook to guide you, click on the following link! Happy homeschooling!
