I run a small neighborhood homeschool in my home. After many years of experimenting with science curriculums we finally found a way that the students love! First I divide my school year up into semesters or months however you like it. Then, you choose some fun science subjects,things you or your children are REALLY interested in. Things like animals, planets,insects, plants, energy, machines, magnets etc...Then take one subject per month(or semester depending on the detail you want to go into) and get fun books at the library, printouts online, hands on experiments etc... spend time going over your science theme and intregrate your teaching all the time throughout the day.Expample: if you chose ocean life you would pin posters of sea animals all around the room,read books from the library,color ocean animals,sea corrals etc,make ocean cratfts,write about sea creatures when you are writing sentences, and visit a local aquarium for a hands on experience!! We have been doing science like this for a couple years now and it seems to work so much better. Anyway, I hope that made sense. Good luck and remember if you are bored.. your children were bored a long time ago!
