Dare to Homeschool Science

Daring to homeschool science separates the old-school homeschoolers from the… no, that’s not right.

I know plenty of homeschoolers who have been at this longer than me. And yet have never even done so much as let their kids lick a battery to see, feel, hear, smell, or taste science for themselves. But oh they are missing out! Are you?

Homeschool science is my favorite. My kids love the mess excitement. I love that doing science means we’re doing every subject at once: reading, math, writing, discussion, logic, theology, fire safety… ummm…

Yes, I set my kitchen on fire in the name of homeschool science. For real. Read all about it here and laugh your astrophysics off. I’m not even sorry. My attempts at wizardry are some of our greatest homeschool memories and kumbaya moments. One year I even let my son raise my grand-frogs on the kitchen counter. See proof below…

I don’t always know what I’m doing or how the experiment will turn out. Or if we’ll need to hide the evidence before dad gets home. But I do know…

Homeschooling is less overwhelming when you realize
you can just learn right along with the kids.

Read on and let me boost your confidence as a homeschool science teacher with some truth and blunders from a seasoned homeschool mom, and by telling you all about Science Unlocked homeschool science kits that are a total game changer.

Wait Don’t Eat That! It’s for Science.

In the recesses of the fridge of many who dare to homeschool science, there lurks a mostly forgotten and strategically tightened jar…  of cabbage water indicator. Possibly months or even years old.

You can’t just pour it out! You might need it again.

We certainly don’t have time or energy to run out for another 4 cabbage leaves. If you’ve homeschooled for more than a couple of years, you also likely have 64 pairs of safety goggles no one wears and one balloon with everyone’s spit on it. Why? Because… you might need it again.

If only we could order all our science needs from one place, to be brought to the door… ahem….

I’m not judging. I hoard any-and-everything that could be used for an unsuspecting science lab in our homeschool future. And yet still get blindsided with the sudden need for one grape. We can’t remember every little tidbit item needed for the next experiment between math, 2^nd breakfast, sibling disputes, and laundry. Sigh… yawn …face palm.

Homeschool Science Hurdles

Time. Trouble. Mess. Money. Don’t wanna. There are many hurdles to homeschooling science.

Unless of course you only do “computer science” in your homeschool. Meaning you only do experiments via the cleanliness and ease and bore of YouTube videos. But oh, what a loss of learning fun! Yup, I’m guilty of this one too.

“Computer science” is what we homeschool moms resort to when duped by a curriculum that claimed we’d only need “common household items”.

“Oh yea, steel wool and citric acid. No problem. We keep those in the pantry right next to the denatured alcohol and moth balls.”

Seriously, do people still buy moth balls for anything other than science at home? In all reality you could be blindsided with the need for something as simple, yet outdated, as a clothespin. Must we buy 8ozs. of iodine and a giant box of saltines for a largely anticlimactic magic trick to learning about starches.

“Say wow, kid. Ooh and awe already. I paid $7.95 for that teaspoon of magic!”

But homeschool science no longer has to be a gamble on our planners…

Never contemplate shoplifting 3 split peas and 1 drinking straw in a rush to the store between math and history again. Maybe that was just me. No more creepy requests for spare sheep kidneys from the local butcher.

Chasing Equilibrium Biology Launch kit

With little to no prep required, you get to be the awesome homeschool mom-wizard (or dad-wizard). In your pjs. Sipping coffee. And watching your little wizards blow things up, melt them down, dissect them into disgusting fun chunks! Hands-on student-led learning is homeschool gold for winning the best teacher award year after year. Science Unlocked can do the grunt work while you reap the accolades.

How it Works: Homeschool Parent’s Choice

None of that mystery box baloney! Homeschool parents are control freaks like to plan and know what their kids are learning. We like to schedule months to a year in advance in our planners with pretty post-its and pens. Science Unlocked lets you choose and know what’s coming to your door for homeschool science.

Choose from 3 Grade Levels Covering All Grades K-12:

Choose kits from multiple science topics in these fields of homeschool science study:

Chemistry, Biology, Physics, and Earth & Space Science (coming December 2021)!

All Kits include:

• • • Student text/workbook for 4-6 weeks of academically rich study.
    • Q&A and lab recording pages.
    • Teacher’s guides with discussion points/questions.
    • All supplies & tools needed for multiple experiments in each kit!***

Seriously, I kid you not. Everything you need is included. Down to the smallest squirt of peroxide. And often enough to repeat experiments.
*** Okay, so obvious things like tap water, air, and sunlight are not included. Don’t be cheeky.

Fizz Foam Fire Chemistry Accelerate kit

If you’ve been holding out in fear or exhaustion, give homeschool science another try with Science Unlocked. You might even enjoy the mess excitement as much as your kids. But at the very least, the kids can take charge, and you can rest your eyes. And then later go out for ice cream instead of on a hunt for denatured alcohol and a walnut.
