Home School Science
Teaching Made Easy

Find the best home school science projects and Unit Studies that took my homeschool son to Oxford University.

Homeschool is the best place to teach science.  You will see brilliant projects here that go all the way from preschool through high school. 

The science projects I share are the reason my homeschool on William was accepted by one of the top Universities in the world to study Chemistry and  prove that your role as a science teacher is not to answer questions so much as to encourage wonder.

It is curiosity which is the mark of a true scientist.

And that's what makes homeschool the best place to learn.

Teaching Homeschool Science

Unfortunately, science can be one of those areas which really throw you when you come to think about homeschooling.

Common homeschooling worries:

• Do I really know enough to teach science?
• Will I need specialized equipment?
• How am I going to cover the curriculum?

Panic not.  We've all been there.

And there's something you need to know, a little secret which I'm happy to share.

All those science curricula educationalists are so keen on churning out – full of long words and important-sounding principles which must be absorbed and tested – they all ignore the simplest and most important truth.

Your primary task – whatever the age of your child – is to use home school science to wake up, encourage and stimulate your child's natural interest and curiosity about the world.

Everything else, all scientific knowledge, follows from that.
