It’s time for Science in our Classroom, and I would like to share a new Homeschool Resource Funtastic Unit Studies with you. I can’t wait to check out this new resource for our classroom. If you have used this new resource what did you think of it and why?
Age Range: 4-13 (Grades PreK-8, with parental supervision)
This commercial website provided by Susan Kilbride, a homeschool mom with a degree in biology, who has written some unit studies (available as e-books) on science and history. Designed with homeschoolers in mind, the unit studies are available for purchase on the site, but Susan also offers some free science lessons and activities (taken from the pages of her e-books)!
When you get to the site, scroll down the page under “Lessons and Activities” to access:
- Atoms and Molecules for ages 8-13 – Learn the definition of atom and molecule, print out a Periodic Table of Elements, do activities to enhance learning, and take a quiz to test what you’ve learned.
- Plants for ages 4-8 – Learn the parts of a plant including seeds, roots, stem, and leaves. Enjoy activities to boost learning, and answer review questions.
Click on either link to open a pdf that contains the lesson (within the framework of the original e-book). You’ll have to scroll about 1/3 down the page, past the “Table of Contents” to get to the lesson.
Once you’ve explored the Science freebies, check out some of the author’s free American History Activities that correspond to her books:
- The Pilgrim Adventure
- The King Philip’s War Adventure
- The Salem Adventure
- The Civil War Adventure
- and more.
Again, these free lessons and activities are excerpts from Susan Kilbride’s e-books that you can purchase via the website.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
