🔅Welcome🔅
My name is Niki. I am a former high school chemistry & biology public school teacher turned homeschool mom of 4 kiddos. We are a secular homeschooling family, with a laid back schooling style. I'm a busy WAHM who just tries to stay afloat some days. But we would never change a thing!
I would love to get to know you better down in the comments, and I hope you'll stay awhile and chat ❤️

We've been using Mystery Science this past year and plan on continuing with it. My son loves it, and i love that it comes with lesson plans ready to go. There are some labs so be better than me and look ahead for needed suplies, not the day of lol
Girl, you are not alone! I am so bad about not looking ahead. Glad to hear you like Mystery Science. Thanks for sharing!
Science Chunks was #2 on my list for science, almost went that route- if you decide to use it I am excited to see how you like it.
It is a really good possibility. I will be sure to share! Thanks for watching!
Science chunks was sooooo close for me to buy !!!! I might just do it so I can see ! I just wish they were more all in one and had lab kits for purchase!
My curiosity is so peaked! I think I'm going to pick one up and check it out.
I hear you on the lab kits. I don't love that they are pricy, but this year it might be worth my sanity to find one. Thanks for watching!
We’ve found labs can be hard to get to!!! We love science that can be done as a family subject!!! For older kids crash course is awesome!!! We’ve used it as a supplement!!! I like it when the work is done for me!!! Science chucks looks awesome!!!
Bring on all the videos! Lol. We love crash course too. Such a great resource. I'm super intrigued by Science Chunks. I know I'm going to sample at least one, so I will let y'all know how it goes.
I have been going around and around and around on science for next year (4th grade)! I am 99.9% sure I now have a plan 👍. My son wants a physics and engineering focus and I always want a nature study/ecology component as well. So, my plan is to use Nomad Press books, the Usborne Science Encyclopedia, the Minnesota Conservation Volunteer magazine’s Young Naturalist articles along with their educator’s guides (all free online) and a science notebook. The Nomad Press books we plan to use are Backyard Biologist, Simple Machines, Makerspace and Crazy Contraptions. There are a lot of things that I love about the Nomad Press books. I was looking through Simple Machines this morning and I love how it is constantly connecting the science to history (with actual dates written as BCE/CE) and I love that the experiments and activities use easy to source supplies and seem to be (mostly) things that will actually show the science they are explaining (vs. just feeling like art projects or busywork).
I love the idea of adding in science history with science lessons! I just recently heard about Nomad Press books myself. Sounds like you have a solid plan. Wishing you all the stars aligning, fairy dust, and magic for everything to go according to plan! Thanks for sharing!
this might be too late but I think Guest Hollows science curriculum is secular. I believe they go up to high school.@@Homeschoolology
@@user-hh9jo3xv6t not too late for this year's research! I'll add it to my list to check out.
I’m planning to use Campfire along with BYL and Easy Peasy to create a Zoology unit for my Pre-K through 8th graders! We will probably add in the Sassafras Zoology ❤ I wish I could find one program that fits all my kids, all their levels and is affordable but probably looking for a unicorn 🦄
"Looking for a Unicorn" is exactly how I feel! It really is so tough! What you've pick sounds like a great option. I hope you guys enjoy it. Thanks for sharing!
We loved RSO....but I found we never got to it. The implementation just never happened. My son is doing Science Mom Biology this year and LOVES IT! he does it totally independently and it has work pages and we supplement with the super simple Biology book from DK.
Now that you say Science Mom it pulled up a tab long since buried in my brain. LOL. I will check that out. That might be a good thing for my oldest and then we just join her for labs and such. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much for the videos. Have you ever tried Real Science 4 Kids?
You're very welcome! I'm so glad you find them helpful. I have not tried Real Science 4 Kids yet. I will look into it. Thanks!
I’ve never seen science chunks I don’t think!
It was new to me too. It's pretty new in general.
I use Pandia Press science and MEL Science kits. I also just added Knowledge Crate and HeronBooks Young Scientist.
I also used mystery science as an add on last year, super easy to use ( less of a time commitment )
I like less time commitment for sure! Thanks for sharing!
Right now, I am hoping that Science Chunks will be the one. Hahaha... I am looking for a science curriculum that builds up on different areas through the years.
I feel very much the same way! It seems so great. 🤞🤞
But I'm still contemplating since there aren't any reviews online about it.
@Paula Rodillo I feel the same way about it. I wish I knew more before getting it. I didn't notice that they have a free single lessons one you can download and check out.
I wonder who that friend was…
Hmmm... I'm not sure. LOL. Thanks for the tip friend!
We're "Faith based" so I don't have anything to add on this particular topic.. But I enjoy following all of your content here and seeing how your process plays out... PS: When you have a moment, so curious what your thoughts are concerning your bookshelves in your background. Are you satisfied with that particular set?? TY in advance...
Glad you are here! I'm so glad to hear you find my sharing helpful.
I could not be more in love with these bookshelves! They are the Hemnes Bookcases from Ikea. We have had them for around 8 years and they are still holding up great! In fact when we moved them from one room to another, we added a new case to make it a little bigger and it is really hard to tell which one is the new one. 10/10 highly recommend!
@@Homeschoolology TY, TY 🤗💕That is great! We have a few of the Billy shelves, but I'm thinking about switching things up a bit.
@@shayj3373 The Hemnes are deeper than the Billy which I love. Easier to store more things. Allways happy to help. I get totally geeky about organization. LOL
@@Homeschoolology Oh my goodness! Same! Greatly appreciate your sharing on this... TY again..
I use ck12 for science, free is good 😅
Always! How do you find the level of prep work for you? Does it take a lot of time to prep things every week, or could you do a big prep less frequently and have it be a little more open and go?
@@Homeschoolology it's pretty simple, the lessons are on the computer done, all I do is make up the chapter test at the end, which I pull from the lesson questions and key words.
@@TabbyWaddell That is great to know! I'm going to look into it. Thank you so much for sharing!
