Welcome to our series for our Homeschool Resources: Science. I would like to ask you to check out the resources below and let me know which ones you’ve used with your students or that you would like to look into for more information.
TYSC Monthly Subscription Program from The Young Scientists Club
Young Scientists will explore the exciting world of Science with topics like magnets, weather, minerals, volcanos, and more. Complete kits (shipped once or twice a month) provide a continuous learning experience with the kits building on concepts and reinforcing the science in a fun, memorable way for your child.
Biology Questions and Answers
Grades 6 and up, with parental supervision
This website helps build biological knowledge step-by-step through an intelligent sequence of questions and answers. This Q&A format discusses all branches of biology.
When you get to the site you’ll see a brief introduction. Then use the menu in the middle of the page to explore hundreds of questions and answers divided into biology branches that include:
- Biochemistry
- Cell Biology
- Microbiology
- Zoology
- Physiology
- Botany
- Genetics
- Ecology
- And More!
Each of these branches is then subdivided into specific subjects. For example, under the heading “Microbiology” you’ll find the following subject areas:
- Bacteria
- Protists (Protozoans and Algae)
- Fungi
- Viruses
Explore the site to satisfy your interest or curiosity in any given subject area. Or enter your question in the search form to find related answers in the archive.
Dr. Margulies flips the teaching process in Fascinating Education courses by approaching science through the “right hemisphere” of the brain. He uses simple, colorful illustrations, supplemented with attached audio files to explain what your child is seeing. The result is an easy way to learn science.
