Review: Thorough Early Elementary Science Education for Homeschoolers - I have been using this Science curriculum for my two early elementary students in our homeschool for 1 and a half years. I supplement it with Early Elementary Science Education by Shannon Jordan and resources from the BFSU Facebook group. The authors of both books are active in the group and other users share ideas generously. My students love this curriculum and the topics we discuss grow naturally into deeper conversations and applications outside of lesson time. At the beginning of our first year I had to immerse myself in the available resources to develop a lesson planning process but after a few weeks it became smooth and adaptable. I schedule two lessons a week for my 3rd/4th graders and we will complete this book in two school years without feeling rushed. I have learned so much along with my students and have every intention of continuing with this author's second book.
Review: Incredibly thorough - We are almost done with this book and it's insane how much I've learned along with my children. I absolutely love that the lessons continue to refer to previous lessons, so it won't be (another) case of having a great, intriguing lesson, and then your kid recalls nothing a year later. It's not necessarily open and go, but once you get the hang of it, you can plan out your next lesson in a few minutes. Unfortunately, the books that are listed for added reading are quite hard to find now. Instead, I've picked up any Let's Read and Find Out science books as I've come across them as we use those to build on the ideas presented in the book. There are some topics that stretched me in my own science knowledge and being able to explain them, so these additional books are invaluable. We've also built up a small collection of Usborne science books to reference.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE science curriculum you need.
*by J***S on February 3, 2017*

I am a homeschooling mom and this is my dream science curriculum. It requires effort and planning on the teacher's part but you will not find a better book. I'm a believer in education being the science of relations and this book does such a great job of laying the foundations but also showing how connected things are. I also really appreciate how affordable all the experiments and activities are. You don't have to spend a ton of money on materials, and the book itself is so affordable. As other reviewers have said, Nobel doesn't underestimate children and they will LOVE science as they move through this book. I can't tell you how much I am learning alongside my kids, so don't think you need to be a scientist to give your kids a great science education.
