Built for how homeschooling actually runs

Most science curricula assume a fixed schedule, a dedicated space and an adult who studied the subject. Ours do not. Units are paced in weeks rather than days, every concept is explained to the parent before it is taught to the child, and the materials lists use things already in the kitchen.

  • Nothing breaks if you skip a fortnight. Units are designed to be picked back up.
  • Multi-age households get simplify and extend notes on every activity, so one investigation serves several children.
  • Parent guides explain the science and tell you what a good answer looks like.
  • Household licence covers all the children in your own home.

Where to start, by age

Ages 8–10

Start concrete

Begin with The Amazing Water Cycle and the Water Cycle Activity Workbook. Short lessons, immediate hands-on results, plenty of drawing.

Ages 10–12

Build the habit

The Homeschool Water Science Curriculum gives you twelve weeks with a parent guide. Add Water Science for Young Explorers if you want video teaching alongside it.

Ages 12–14

Go deeper

Junior Water Quality Investigator and Environmental Science at Home move from following a method to designing one.

Homeschool questions

Yes. Every unit has a parent guide that explains the concept before you teach it and tells you what a good answer looks like. You are not expected to already know why condensation forms on the cold side of a jar.

Two sessions of about forty minutes suits most families. You can compress or stretch it — the units are paced in weeks, not days, for exactly this reason.

Yes. The household licence covers the children in your own home, and the activities include simplify and extend notes for mixed ages.

A kitchen, a windowsill and a few jars. Observation activities work with a balcony, a park or a pavement crack.

We cannot tell you that, and anyone who does without knowing your state is guessing. Our pages say plainly what each resource covers so you can check it against your own requirements — and a planning session can help you map it out.
