I would like to welcome you to our Homeschool Resources: Science. I would like to ask you to check out these Homeschool Resources and let me know if you’ve used these resources with your students. Charlie is excited to check out The National Inquirer.
Supercharged Science is a video-based online curriculum that explains Science topics to kids in a practical real-world way, then uses step-by-step instructional videos, experiments, and projects that let them apply the concepts they just learned.
The Natural Inquirer– PreK-12, with parental supervision
Earth Day is this week! This website offers FREE science education journals: “The Natural Inquirer,” for middle and high school, “Investi-gator” for upper elementary, and readers for PreK-2. Scientists with the USDA Forest Service share their research in a fun and engaging way.
Each issue of “The Natural Inquirer” introduces students to the scientists who conduct the environmental research and includes an article or more on a specific research project. Some of the issues are entitled:
- World’s Forests
- A Burning Question
- Chew on This!
- Full Throttle Model
- Fresh Water
- Wilderness
- Flower Power
- And more!
Each issue also contains a “Discovery FACTivity” designed to help students learn scientific vocabulary words included in the articles. There are also discussion questions designed to help students think more about research. You can download the issue(s) you are interested in or order hard copies (only 5 issues at a time).
Be sure to check out the top menu under “For Educators” for links to lesson plans, science cards and posters, and more.
This is a treasure trove of environmental learning resources! Bookmark this one, as you’ll need to visit many times to explore the vast content!
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie and David Cates
